Why Why Why Can't I Cook??

I try I really, really do.

Tonight I spent 3 hours cooking dinner. I made a casserole, with chicken, bacon, onion, tomatoes, basil, garlic, macaroni, cheese, and many other tasty and healthy ingredients.

I sharpened my knife.

I used a seperate cutting board for meat and vegetables.

I cooked all the bits individually.

I greased the dish so it wouldn't stick.

I pre-heated the oven.

I assembled with the greatest of care.

Then I put it in the oven and set the timer on the microwave.

I bathed Nicky, got her in her PJ's and put her to bed.

I should have heard the beeping.

I should have realised the time.

And now, I have a delicious meal of charcoal.

Yum.

At least it will be good for my teeth...

Or does that only hold true for dogs?

Why, Oh, Why, Can't I Cook???

 

*** I spent last night writing an exciting account of my weekend visitors stay... But I left it at work where I have no internet access at present. I PROMISE I will post it tomorrow... Keep tuned folks ***

Then, of course, when she discovered the completely melted contents of the tub, she panicked and poured the lot down the sink, further to discover that it was the brand new tub of butter, with no others left in the fridge!

    I\'m sure I could think of some moments when you weren\'t at your best Ms. Tink... though I doubt even you can top that effort.



    For the record folks - pouring melted butter on toast doesn\'t work. The seperation that occurs between the oil and the milk fats causes the oil to rise to the top and when you just pour it on your toast the oil just sits on the surface of the toast and doesn\'t soak in. I possibly would have eaten it if it\'d soaked in... alas, it did not.
