Last night I got a call around 7 p.m. asking me when I’m going to be home. Note, I normally get home around 7:15 or so. What my loving wife wanted me to do was stop somewhere on the way home and pickup dinner. We already had dinner plans, I.E. a chicken, etc. I asked about the chicken and was told that because I’m not already home, it’s burnt. ???? She said the instructions said to heat the chicken for 20 minutes and then serve. The next question I asked was when did she put it into the oven? Without loosing a breath she said 6 p.m.

If you’ve followed me this far and done your math, the chicken had been in the oven for one hour but should have only been in for 20 minutes. Lesson learned, over cooking something for 3x as long as the directions state seems to burn the food.

Any idea what’s for dessert?
