You have a point there, I must say. My motto is Live, Laugh, Download and Stitch!!! I'm gonna load my card and go! I got inspired! christine

Thats what I do, I can cook a whole dinner around the timer...LOL Hubby looks at me like I'm nuts but I haven't burned dinner yet, I use the timer when I'm stitching out designs too....

Been there, done that, worn the teashirt AND the pan had to be thrown away...the smell was vile and I had to go out into the garden with al the windows open. Welcome to the world of Cute

It happened to me too while i was boiling some veggies!!! I have to be careful And I do use a timer too LOL

Burned out my curling iron. Left it on too long, forgot to finish my hair.

I had made homemade buns, and put them in the oven to bake. Needless to say, a while later the whole recipe was burned to a crisp!!! No buns that day, but I was on Cute! LOL Judy

Oh my goodness, I do so agree with you!! Not only have I burned food, but my poor husband who is thin already is waiting for his food cos I "just have to check one more post before I start cooking"

Cuties is my second home AND I LOVE IT!!!

It ia a least an hour later and I am still here... leaving...

Welcome to the addiction of Cute to which there is NO KNOWN CURE... As if we want one anyways :)))))

yeah - I think we all have that kind of a problem in one way or another!
O - were you not warned when you joined that this site was addictive!!???hehe

Yes, Cute can be "brand-dangerous" ;o)
I have a gas-hob and must be careful when start cooking my water for the coffee. An empty cooked kettle does not smell delicious *lol*
Hope you have fun her on cute and an understanding husband at home...
Greetings, Bettina

I have the perfect solution for you. After several pans boiled dry (combination of being online, being overwhelmed with work at home and taking care of my husband), I went and bought a whistling tea kettle. Now even the neighbors know when I get distracted. :) I haven't had a single pan go dry since. For pan cooking, I try to stay in the kitchen or put a timer in my pocket. I try to cook in the oven so it isn't so critical that I be exactly on time.
Welcome to one of the best sites on the whole internet. Pull up a chair and don't forget sleep once in a while. :)

you will have to train your d/h to do the cooking.....when my d/h retired from teaching he took over the cooking duties seems i did not not know how to cook or wash or hang it out and then he came food shopping with me took over the shopping trolley and i asked what was the point of me going shopping he answered none so he now does that too...yeah yeah i know i am a bit spoiled but i do the painting and several other thins like that....lo. soozie

Been there, done that! Love Chris

You ladies have been fun to be with today. What's the paln for tomorrow. It is a holiday here! My hibby does the cooking a shopping now also, or I probably could not hang out here, and yes I agree the best online site ever! christine. Live Laugh Download and Stitch! Here's a flower for you chris

I solved my "Cute addiction, not watching the cooking" problem.

I put a desk and my laptop in between the lounge and dining area (open plan) and I can also see into the kitchen from my laptop, so I am close enough to just walk over, give a pot a stir, and walk back to Cute. I had it all planned at our first inspection of the house. :-)))))

Now what will happen when my sewing area is all set up downstairs, is a whole other question? I guess we'll be eating a lot of cold salads. hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Nothing gets done when we are on Cute!!!!

My husband does the same thing but he is watching tv, can't be bother to record the show.I'm sure the mess on the hot plates takes longer to get off ,than it did to get there in the first place.Years ago, while I was at a craft market, he managed to burn the kitchen curtains because he fell asleep while watching tv instead of keeping an eye on his cooking.
