What's for dinner? MAKES ME WANT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT! This is from MY CHILDREN, who have moved back home with their children. I say that I am going to do a menu and stick to it, but something always comes up and I don't do it.
What is the question that you hate?
Started out with a plan to slow cook a top-round steak.
The cutting board got shoved under the big pan, plastic was burning...
Mercury is in retrograde, turned around in the small space and was startled
by dH, trying to interupt to reach his Salsa, stealthily-where did he come from?
I jumped, and things just haven't been the same since two hours ago.
A real blow to any confidence that I never had to start with, so this dish will be called Chili Colorado with black beans, pinto beans, and carrots, with a diced tomato sauce.
Needs salt.
Dinner is over.
Not going to clean it up, on purpose, had to throw away the cutting board.
In memory of Gene Wilder, who could not bear one less smile in the world,
he never told his fans he had Alzheimers.
Sad.
Just a couple of questions that bother Me.
"What are we going to do today".
Tomorrow, I am going to tell him he only gets one question!
The questions I am going to get asked now.....
Yes, I know I can be childish. :)
Feeling blessed!
Okay, did you mean the clean underwear on the pillow was a change from chocolates on the pillow?
Or did you mean the hellofresh box would be a change from the chocolate?
There is no chocolate in there? hmmmm
I had to ask the question...Pammzi, but it struck me funny either way. Lol.
He's going to be confused, and ask me.....
Went to the site, 'fresh', thought you were saying: Stacey hello. Fresh...
Too pricey for me, and that is for two meals? Or two meals for seven days?
Guess I'm not getting it.
I must be blinded by brattiness.
If my hubs gets hungry and I don't want to cook, I am just going to say,
"Don't you remember, we just ate lunch, why don't you just snack until dinner."
Still, a brat.
I don't really have a pet peeve question. Sometimes tiny little things irritate me like when my dad takes brownies out of the fridge that I have baked for him and asks "do these have sugar?". He is diabetic. I make him baked goods from scratch with sugar substitutes. I have NEVER once brought an item with sugar in the house in 20+ years. Yet every single time he takes something out of the fridge he asks...does this have sugar? And every time I say, no dad I made those special for you. And every time he marvels at how I can make sweet items with no sugar. It's cute really...but 10+ times in one hour can grate on me a bit.

Really like the menu plan idea.
A variation I recently tried after returning from the market, was to make a list of everything main dish ingredients available to make xyz dishes.
Tacos: Tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, taco sauce, cheese, cilantro, hamburger etc.
Then, my finicky husband gets to choose.
Turns out it was harder to get him to choose anything.
He does do well with an unchangeable routine, laying out his plate with a cover on it because he won't come when dinner is ready.

Just like when Cwillie's thread was taken down ( Pet Peeves) and everyone speculated why for so long...I am going to hate answering the question:
Why did admin take down the thread: "Caregivers Behaving Badly".
So here is the reason I am giving to avoid divisions among caregiver to caregiver friends, please accept A/C's decision.
Guessing they took it down because too many were behaving badly.
If you have found your way to this thread somehow, use it for good, be kind to everyone you meet, everyone here is fighting their own uphill battles we don't know about.

Could it be, just remotely possible that once or twice dear family member that YOU YOURSELF put the thing down and forgot where? Hmmmmm?
