Story about how I fried a cutlet

I stood at the stove and fried a cutlet in butter.
So I got a mug of water in my left hand and a smartphone in the other
I was talking to my wife on the smartphone while I fried my cutlet.
By the way, the cutlets were from a store. They were a pre-cooked product.
And when I fry those cutlets, they usually go to pieces.
I don't want that, so I asked my wife how can I avoid it.
And she told me: "just add a few drops of water".
Ok, I have some water in the mug in my hand.
And I poured some water on my cutlet...
Suddenly, a column of fire blazes up in front of me, up to the ceiling.
It looked like a fire-breathing dragon cutlet burned the ceiling.
I didn't know what to do... omg... wtf... I was panicking.
I decided to take the frying pan and rinse it with water.
But I change my mind because the fire could burn the kitchen set.
Fortunately, the fire went out.
After this situation, my hands were shaking.
Luckily, that granny, from whom I rented a room, hadn't seen this terrible picture.


Я стоял у плиты и жарил котлетку в масле.
Также в моей левой руке была кружка воды, а в другой смартфон.
Пока я готовил, я общался со своей женой по смартфону.
Кстати, котлета была из магазина. Полуфабрикат.
И когда я жарю такие полуфабрикатные котлеты, то они обычно разваливаются на части.
Я не хотел чтобы это случилось и спросил у жены как мне этого избежать.
Она ответила, что просто капнуть немного воды.
И я капнул... Внезапно столб огня поднялся передо мной до потолка.
Это выглядело как огнедышащая драконья котлета сжигающая потолок.
Я не знал что делать, я был в панике.
Я взял сковородку и подумал залить ее водой,
но я передумал это делать, так как огонь мог спалить кухонный гарнитур.
К счастью, огонь потух.
После этой ситуации мои руки дрожали.
Хорошо, что бабушка, у которой я снимал комнату, не видела этой ужасной картины.

I changed your sentence to make it sound more natural

While I cooked, II was talkeding to my wife by phone. on the phone while I fried my cutlet.

I think you should stick to fry instead of cook. Frying something implies that you are cooking something in oil, while cooking doesn't really imply that you are cooking something in oil. Also since you used fry, I think you should stick with the same verb.

By the way, the cutlet was from a store.

It was a semi-finished profduct.

And she told me: "just a little drip somedd a few drops of water".

If your wife said it, you should use quotes ( " ... ")

OkSo, I have some water in the mug in my hand. got a mug of water.

You should use 'so' here because it continues the action of your previous sentence (your wife told you to add water). Also you don't need to repeat hand because we know you are holding it in your hand.

It looked like a fire-breathing dragon cutlet burned the ceiling.

So I dripppoured some water on my cutlet...

I didn't know what to do...

I took adecided to take the frying pan, and I made up my mind to fill it with water full in the kitchen sink. rinse it with water.

This sentence is more natural

Well, that granny, whom I rented a room to, hadn't seen this terrible picture.

Sounds like a memory to remember. I'm glad the fire went out. Please be more careful next time!

By the way, I highly recommend downloading an auto correcting add-on on your browser. When you make a typo, it will underline the word and show you the correct way to spell it. Your English sentences were pretty good. Keep up the great work!

Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have :)

@spacecat, I wonder if "fall to pieces" would be a better fit here. What do you think?

Instead of "semi-finished", try either "pre-made" or "pre-cooked" to sound more natural. That might be an American thing, though, I've never heard "semi-finished" before.

And when I fry thatose semi-finished cutlets, ithey usually goes to pieces.

I didon't want ithat, so I asked my wife: how can I avoid it.

Luckily or Fortunately would fit better than "well", I think. :)
Maybe also a "yet" added to the very end! Haha!

If you're renting a room to the granny, this makes sense.
But if granny is the landlord, you need to say "from whom I rented a room"

I like this story! Grease fires are crazy! Good thing the fire didn't spread!

I thought about it. It seemed to me that when people say 'fall to pieces' they mean, for example, the vase fell off the shelf. And after the fall it fell to pieces. No? Also there is words like 'fall apart'.
