The reason I am here. | ADHD Information

You're suppose to preheat the oven? Dammit, you're right, it is all the husband's fault!  For some reason or another, it is.  Now I feel much better!

CG, not only that, but you have to select a temperature, too.  Just putting your oven on "bake" doesn't do much of anything.
hey it might be really tender!!

slow cooking can make food melt it in the mouth


oh and its not your fault!!  blame the husband
I'm attempting to make dinner.  I have been cooking a chicken breast dish that should of taken 35-40 minutes to cook at 350 degrees.  Mine's been cooking for over an hour.  Know why?

Me:  Dammit!  It's still pink through and through!  This stupid freaking oven never cooks anything!

Husband:  Did you do everything right?

Me:  Yes of course, I double checked everything!

Husband:  Did you turn the oven from preheat to bake?

Me:  Oh.


I just started our dinner on the stove not too long ago  while trying to build a highchair for my daughter...about 30 minutes later I started wondering...what is that smell?  Have you ever seen raw turkey meat burnt on one side  as a block?  It's pretty sick and doesn't look good even when trying to cook the rest through.  Dinner was not good that night.   Can I blame my husband for that one even if he wasn't home?  He should have built the hightchair!!!

you know how to tell when dinner's ready?

you check it, and go off to do something else.

then, you smell something that reminds you you're hungry, and dinner should be soon. so, you go to start something else, and in a short while, you smell something burning.

that's when it occurs to you, you put something in the oven, and that an hour ago it only needed another 20 mins of cooking, and you thought you had time to do a couple of things while you waited for it to finish cooking.

so everything goes in the trash, you air out the house, and plan b becomes take-out or leftovers that haven't been left for too long.

dinner's ready!

My family always joked around that whenever I baked cookies, there was always one cookie sheet full that got burnt.  I just came to expect that.  Funny!

But you see, now you have to cut that chicken.  That's the dangerous part.  I took out my electric knife because it's easier to cut the roaster that way.  I go to assemble it.  I shove the knives into the handle, turn it on and the knives come flying out.

Hmm, that's strange.  Let me try again.  I re-assemble.  Same thing happens.  I decide to unplug it so that I don't accidently cut a finger off.  Try to re-assemble a third time, I can't get the stupid end to catch in the handle.

Now I'm angry.  My husband is watching this and realizes something is wrong when I start talking to myself "why won't this F-ing thing work?  I've done this a thousand f-ing times.  Argh." 

"HOney" he says, "put the knife down and go upstairs and relax for a bit"

Me: "no, this is freaking driving me crazy.  It's not like I haven't done this before" All the while I'm getting angrier and angrier and reassembling and they keep  falling out.

Duh, it finally dawns on me, I'm putting them in backwards!   Chicken beware!

my thoughts exactly....what is preheat?   i never do i am too lazy or forget....but then i cant cook as i forgot i was cooking and boy watch out its a burned mess....that is what my hubby is for

At least y'all eat hot food... mine's either cold or raw.The rolls aren't done unless they're black.

Look on the bright side - at least you didn't burn anything.  You can still cook it!!  I usually burn something at least once a week.
