Oh my god i am an IDIOT

[Kaylz]

😳 I was all set to get the veg boiling as the chicken had been in the oven for a while then I notice I haven't switched the cooker switch on oh well later tea than usual it is x

At least you realised before you put the veg on to cook.

I turned the knob to put the ring on and suddenly thought there's something not quite right here, the chickens not sizzling away like it usually does so looked at the wall and realised why lol, my granddad was not too impressed when I told him tea would be late and I phoned my mum to tell her there was no need to rush home for tea and she just laughed at me haha x

You could microwave it and finish in the oven to speed up the process Kaylz

That's exactly what we did Amigo 🙂, I had no idea you could do that, thanks though, I may come to you if I need help like this in the future haha 🙂 x

Me neither, my husbands trick is turning the oven on but not actually setting the temperature lol

 

[Ditto]

The worst is the steamer because you can switch it on and it'll chug round and you go expecting your dinner to be all ready but it wasn't switched on at the wall! ::cries::

Crank up the gas to 9 and the chicken cooks in 1hr 30mins

I once cooked a whole roast and was serving up when i realised that I hadnt even got the raw chicken out of the fridge!

And for those electric cooker users among us - ie me lol - it was only fillets so wouldn't have taken as long as that but we just threw them in the micro and finished off in the oven x

Twenty mins in a frying pan and it's done, GM9 is 475F or 240c

Completely off on a tangent, but tonight I started washing my hair in what I thought was shampoo but was actually leave in conditioner 🙄 another time I have put my face serum on my hair instead of the hair serum.

Don't get me started on other silly things I've done lol, thankfully I haven't been sleepwalking for about a year now but when I was I hid the washing up liquid in the towel cupboard but actually hid it in between the towels, 2 years ago me and the OH were in Aberdeen for the weekend and I woke up wandering the hotel lobby 😱 and another time I woke up in my kitchen with my fingers in a bbq sauce bottle, if that's what I can do while asleep I dread to think the chaos I could cause while awake haha x

 

[Mark Parrott]

We all do this, Kaylz, it is normal. I have many a time loaded up the slow cooker, switched it on & several hours later realised it was still switched off at the wall. Also I've defrosted something in the microwave & had it on full power instead of defrost, totally nuking it on the outside & still frozen in the middle.🙄

I once took a curry out of the freezer, popped it in the microwave whilst the rice was cooking, and when I took it out discovered it was bolognese sauce, which really doesn't go well with rice! 😱 🙄

That's why I label everything I freeze now. I did it the other way round. Curry & pasta.

Perhaps, in a parallel universe, we both managed to get the meal we expected! 😱 🙂
