I hate my kitchen – part 2 – score 1 for ME

Posted by swobodasays on March 2, 2009

OK, soo maybe it isn’t all my kitchens fault, (yea, it is) considering that I ran out of milk and had to use water & I ran out of regular bisquick and had to use low – carb, but still he didn’t have to be such a baby!

Anywho, he decided to try his luck again (what was he thinkin???), so back to the waffle maker from hell! Oh yea, didn’t have enough bisquick so I used the pancake bisquick in a bottle and used water and milk and added some oil (whaaat! it should work!)

Soo, first thing, if you are going to jerryrig the batter, turn DOWN the waffle iron, I really hate smoke detectors (the whole damn neighborhood knows when I am cooking!).

Now, if the waffles split (as usual!) pry them off the top with the spatula thingy and close it back up, they will fall back together and not be too noticable.

So, he ate them and didn’t say anything about the looks and said they tasted good, so that means 1 of 2 things.

One, which I prefer, is that they really did taste good and he just didn’t notice they were slight mismatched or

2, they tasted bad and he noticed but he won’t say anything for a week or so, then I will ask him what he wants me to make for dinner and he will be a smart ass and say “don’t threaten me!” I will tell him what he can do with that comment and then he will say “is it going to come out like the (ok you can fill in the blanks here, cause it has happened sooo many times)!” and I will say (as usual) “well you ate them and said they were good” and he will say “well I didn’t want you to pout!” (AKA – I don’t want you pissed off and ignoring me!) Which I OnLY do when he deSerVes it!

Me POUT!!! What an $%#@. I don’t know why he doesn’t just break down and get us a freakin cook!

I hate My kitchen

Posted by swobodasays on February 26, 2009

G$#% D%$^ it!

FYI when using your George Foreman Waffle Plates do NOT open the grill real quick because it is possible that the waffle will split in half, half on top and half on bottom.

Then you will have to scrape it off and start over, meanwhile, your husband who just flew back from work will wonder why it is taking so long for waffles and when you give him the “shrug” he will mutter under his breath.

Then when you make the next batch of waffles they will be small and soggy and he will get all pissy about it and say he will just drink his OJ for dinner. Then when the last one comes out all nice and fluffy and crisp he will REFUSE to try it and pout and eat a pear.

Then he will let you know that the only thing you are allowed to cook from now on is a Pear! What AN ASS!!!

I told him he didn’t marry me for my cooking and cleaning skills and if continues to be an ass he won’t have access to the skills he did marry me for!!!!!

Score 1 for the kitchen!!

Smile, it is contagious!

Posted by swobodasays on February 22, 2009

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social

Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social

Security office. She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You

might have gotten disability, too’

Soo you think you can cook?

Posted by swobodasays on February 20, 2009

Here is some food for Thought only:

My husband did NOT marry me for my cooking skills
It takes practice to get perfect and my family is so picky, I haven’t had a lot of practice
When you offer to make dinner and your husbands says “Don’t Threaten ME!” you may have a problem
You know you have a problem when your husband is out of town and the threat you use on your kids that has the most impact is “If you don’t knock it off I am going to COOK dinner”!

Drink that water

Posted by swobodasays on February 19, 2009

Drink 64oz of water a Day. As simple as it sounds, drinking water is very important for a healthy lifestyle. The body is weird the less water you drink, the more it retains, it is fighting against dehydration. The more you drink the less it retains, since the body recognizes it is getting a steady supply of water and dehydration is not a concern. A side benefit is that the less it retains the more toxins and fat are flushed out.

What Is Your Ideal Weight?

Posted by swobodasays on February 16, 2009

What is an “Ideal Weight”? I think your “Ideal Weight” needs to be a moving target that starts with height and bone structure and then adjusts based on age, and medical history. As you age, when you have children, your body changes.

To say there is ONE weight for everyone of the same height regardless of the rest is just foolish. And obviously with the rise of anorexia, bulimia and other eating orders, it is also dangerous and destructive both physically and emotionally.

My “Ideal Weight” is 115lbs, my “Goal Weight” is 130lbs. An unrealistic, unhealthy potenially mental angish inciting weight is 100lbs. I am old enough and realistic enough to take this “Ideal Weight” with a grain of salt, but what about the girls in their teen and twenties and early thrities that see that number and think they are “Fat” when they are not, that diet when they don’t need to, what about them?

Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?

Posted by swobodasays on February 14, 2009

Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?

A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.
