Burnt sausage
Burnt biscuits
How hard could it be? I mean the sausage was packaged and precooked. The directions said all I had to do was brown it for a few minutes in a pan. The biscuits...packaged and frozen. All I had to do was heat up the oven and cook them for so many minutes. It looked easy this morning but then again Mrs. "I" always said I would never win a man over with my cooking. Darn it!!! I'm so mad at myself. :( Uh!!! The disappointment!
Some of the other blogs post lovely pictures of their cooking masterpieces. I guess it's just not in the cards for me. I used to think it was cute and not a big deal about my lack of cooking skills. Now that I'm on my own it stinks! I'm still going to keep on trying and never give up. Even if I burn my house down. This isn’t funny because I’ve come close a few times. I have the Kuwaiti emergency number on speed dial.
I love to cook and I love to eat! I can bake certain things really well. There are a few things I can actually cook well if I don't get distracted! The thing is that I can't cook most things very well. It's hard to admit but I actually suck at cooking most things. I suck BIG time! Thank goodness almost every restaurant in Kuwait delivers to your front door. If this weren’t the case I would have starved by now!
Don't lose sleep over this, Expat. I had the same problem, burning steaks, overcooking rice, & overstuffing things. However, persistence paid off and now I can bake mini pizzas, crepes, apple crumble and English breakfast from scratch. We all had rookie mistakes. Still, I'd love to cook some Kuwaiti dishes, but I guess I need a couple of years to learn how to do so.
ReplyDeleteCrepes? Now you're making me hungry! :)
ReplyDeleteSausages look so bad. Did you Eat them.
ReplyDeleteI blame it on the ovens. I can't cook anything without having to turn the heat up then down and keep checking on it. That and the fact I can't find most of the ingredients they have on Food Network so I just sit, watch and wish I could have some of what they're cooking.
ReplyDeleteFahad ~ I was starving and yes I had a nibble! You can imagine my facial expression when I took the first bite! ;P
ReplyDeleteCnK ~ I agree. :) My oven is a piece of ___ !
Wow, um..... I agree about the oven part, it can be the reason for it; also distraction can play a part in it too!
ReplyDeleteOf course it's all my ovens fault :D
