Bon Appetit

This past week Stephen hasn't been feeling well, so being the good and loving wife that I am, I was going to take care of him and have a cooked meal when he came home. While at work, I thought of different things that I could make and decided on chicken with pasta and broccoli. When I got home, I cleaned the kitchen, picked up the living room, etc. All the while watching "One Night with the King" on Hulu. So good so far. WRONG.

Realizing it was almost 7PM, I decided to start on dinner. I forgot the chicken was in the freezer and it was very much a solid mass. I ran it threw warm water for several minutes before I had to karate chop it into squares. Then since I had thoughtfully put oil and water in the pan with the chicken and put the lid on it, it POPPED off. Scarred me so bad! So, as I am attempting to multi-task and cook different things...yes, you guessed it, the fire alarms start going off. GREAT. So, at this point I had to stand on my couch to try to turn it off....good thing is, I figured out HOW to turn it off. LOL.

So Stephen finally gets home from work and I told him my very eventful cooking experience. He slightly laughed. I will admit, cooking is one of the things that I feel VERY inadequate in. I am working on it though! And trying to build my confidence....and skills! Haha. Stephen actually ate it and said it wasn't bad, so I guess that is something! :)

Blessings,
Abby

Ha! I can totally relate! I didn't even know what to do with a package of chicken when we first got married, so I'd say you're doing pretty good so far. Do you have a defrost setting on your microwave? Our old one didn't have that, but our new one does and it's really helpful.

Kate - He does, despite my feelings about it! And that sounds great! I would love to do that. I know others would love that too.

Kristen - Well at least I am not alone! Haha. And you know, I haven't looked that far in seeing if it does, but I am pretty sure it does....didn't think about that...LOL :) Guess now I will! Thanks! BTW, any tips?
