I'm Cracking Up

[Tilly2]

Tuesday evening
Put four eggs into a saucepan, turned it on, then wandered off to do some reading. Half an hour later my O.H. says 'What's that smell?'
Result: four brown scorched eggs and a ruined saucepan.

Thursday evening
Table set, salad made, potatoes boiled.
Open fridge door to get out tinfoil covered chicken
Thought, 'This feels heavy.'
Took off tinfoil to find I'd forgotten to cook it
Result: Tuna salad

What will I do today?

Welcome to my world :)

Tilly, how was your salmon and avocado salad with Mexican dressing?

[Tilly2]

Actually, Eccles it was astonishingly lovely. Thank you for the recipe. I shall make it again.

[Psybbo]

Cook the chicken?

[2sp_]

Stay in bed, it's much safer.

[Tilly2]

The chicken's in the slow cooker, Psybbo. You got that right. Well done.

[EcclesCake]

Glad the salad worked out!

[Barmaid]

lol Tilly. That is the sort of daft thing I would do.

A few weeks ago, I browned some beef to stick in the oven, made up a casserole with it and wondered off and did something else. after about an hour I thought I'd see how it was doing - it was still sat on the side, whilst the oven was cooking NOTHING.

[Tilly2]

It's the wandering off and doing something else that's the problem.

[Brinjal]

You are not the only one. I put some eggs on to boil and went out to the garden about 40 minutes later I went in and there was this awful smell. Burnt pot and exploded eggs all over the kitchen and on the ceiling.

[Tilly2]

Well, brinjal, at least my eggs didn't explode. I don't use detonating eggs, just ordinary chicken ones.

[Psybbo]

I wonder if Tilly switched the slow cooker on

[Tilly2]

Let me check ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Yes!

[Tilly2]

The chicken is beautifully cooked.

Well done, tilly. :-)

[Psybbo]

Whew, that's a relief, enjoy x

[Tilly2]

Thank goodness for John West, is all I can say.

[tonyav]

Yilly, are you getting fed up of salad yet ?.

[Tilly2]

No, Yont. I haven't used the oven since I came back from holiday. I (we) love salads.

Thanks Tilly, forgot I had chicken in the oven.
What a friend you are!
