I too hate frying. I rarely do it. But when I do, I hate it. I love cooking all the things in my oven though because I have a temperature probe that is built into my oven that syncs with it, so once the temp is reached the oven automatically shuts off. It's my favorite. I haven't messed anything up with that baby.. yet This sounds magical This is my favorite tool in my kitchen.

I put a whole chicken in my slow cooker this morning and just totally am crossing my fingers haha. I really stuffed that sucker in. I got the slow cooker as a high school graduation gift and I think I need to upgrade in size haha. The chicken filled the entire thing and the lid was hard to get on.. lol I hope that it's still ok. What is everyone's nemesis food? Because roast chicken is mine. For some good forsaken reason I can cook ANYTHING but a damn chicken. I always end up having it raw inside and so I am trying the slow cooker to just make sure that it gets cooked through. It will be in there for 12 hours, god help it. It's to the point where I don’t actually cook a roast chicken to eat, I cook it and then use the meat in better recipes lol. I'm curious what everyone's achilles heel is. Haha i'm sure a roast chicken is so easy to someone in here! Do you have a BBQ? A rotisserie arm in a BBQ is the BEST way to make a roasted chicken. Almost fail proof too

CestLaVie , take that whole chicken and stick an open beer can (with the beer) up it's butt. Stand that chicken up on a grill and cook until the temp is at least 165° on a thermometer. Best damn chicken ever. And of course, season the outside of it. sarahack - i temp everything - so you can cook chicken, just make sure the temp is 165°. also shoving a lemon up the butt with garlic, salt and pepper, and rub the outside with butter or olive oil and season - pop in oven on 375 until correct temp. Volia - you can cooks some juicy as shit chicken. +1 I could not cook meat without the high tech thermometer.

There is this couple that are friends of ours and they're both actors. They have a daughter a month older than A. For the last 6 months she sends me casting notices that she wants me to submit Allison to. I finally signed her up on this site about 2 weeks ago and I've submitted her for a few things. The casting agent contacted us on Friday to confirm our availability for this Friday, it's a photo shoot for Nokia. They'll pay her $500 for 2 hours and another $500 when they 1st use the material. I talked to him again and he's just waiting for the final approval from the production team. I wasn't sure how I felt about this whole thing, but if she has fun doing it and we can actually save money for her college, I think it'll be a good thing. Now I have to go get her work permit this morning and open a Coogan account.

I have a bad attention span lol so the best tip I ever got for this was to boil them in rolling boil for 1 minute, then put the lid off and remove from heat for 15 minutes. It works so well! and you only have to watch it for a minute haha. This is how I hard boil eggs too.

jedi when the dr explained the new classifications for ADHD, and how they no longer term ADD, DS1 and were laughing. Like he has the opposite of the hyperactivity! Lol! But the dx is still ADHD.

Thanks Pizzaslut. Something has to change. We will see if this helps. Both DS1 and I are cautious about whether it will help or not.

CestLaVie - pork. I can't stand cooking pork. It seems to take twice as long as it's supposed to when I'm checking for proper temp And +1 to Betweenthelines directions for HB eggs. A's favorite thing to eat are "eggies" so we go through a dozen pretty quickly

Speaking of eggs, I can't do over easy because I'm inept at flipping them without breaking the yolk. So I cook the bottom side, then splash some water in the pan and cover it to steam the top just until the white part is cooked thru.
I also hate cooking meat -- in our house, H usually cooks all the meat and I cook everything else. It works best for us that way.

So I will be attending graduation, where I will receive "a congratulatory note and amount owing" in my folder. Haha. But here's the kicker, it doesn't even matter if I had had the money immediately because it has to be paid 2 weeks in advance of graduation to result in you getting the parchment. And I didn't even know I owed it 2 weeks prior. So it looks like I'm going to just pay it off slowly anyway and just say fuck it and enjoy my congratulatory note.

LT for congratulations CestLaVie. Will your degree not be "official" until you pay it off?

So I ordered M a trampoline because we need to build his leg strength. It got delivered earlier and now I'm hoping they put a cover on it so it doesn't get soaked. I also love that I get notifications from Amazon because otherwise things would sit at my front door forever. I check my mail daily, but I never go to my front door 😂

I can't fry. Like anything. I burn the outside and the inside is raw. Every. Single. Time.
