Uncooked

Man, I'm beginning to think I can't do ANYTHING. Last night Jane had class and I thought I would just eat something we had around. I was hungry for tomato soup, but we didn't have any. There was a leftover potatoes/carrots/onions thing in the fridge, and there was a bag of what looked like meatballs in the freezer. I thought, "Hey, I know there's a defrost button on the microwave; and who can't warm up veggies." So, I put the meatball-looking things in the microwave and put them on whatever setting I thought would unfreeze them. I had to do it several times before they started to soften up, but they didn't look so good. So finally I cooked them with the regular setting. Um... I've never put a piece of chocolate in the microwave and melted it, but that's what the meatballs started to look like. It was gross. Jane told me later that they were, in fact, meatballs, but they had never been cooked. Anyway, I pitched them, and ate the veggies raw. Also had a thing of pudding and some cheez-its. It was a quiet night. At least the Bulls got the top pick in the NBA draft (not that I'm a Bulls fan, necessarily).

One of the reasons I taught myself to cook is I like to eat too much to not know how to control my own destiny. Although that said I still come up with a disaster from time to time. Don't let it throw you.

Maybe you just need to make sure there's always tomato soup in the pantry...

If I remember correctly, you make the best frozen pizza. Since frozen pizzas are a staple food item you're one step ahead of me. I can never get the cheese to melt just right.

See, you can do something! :)

Did you become a Pastor so that you could spend more time thanking God for Jane?

She leaves for a little while and you melt your balls in the microwave.

Jim,
Yes, I should ALWAYS keep a can of tomato soup handy.

Carrie,
Thanks for complimenting my frozen-pizza-making skills.

MR & Grace,
