Hard to believe....

after about 30 years of cooking...I can still screw it up, MAJORLY!!!!  Just had one of the worst dinners I have ever cooked. 
So, I was going to make porkchops in Crm Mush soup...but didn't have any, so used crm of celery instead, and just added mushrooms...set the oven, and put it in...after about 45 mins, I started the veggies and potatoes...Something wrong with my oven I guess...pork chops were still rare....ewwwwww...so had to nuke them so I didn't have the other veggies overcooked, which they were anyways.
nights like this are hard...could really care less if I eat most nights, but when you have to force yourself to eat something that doesn't taste good...well, that's just torture!!! 
LOL...the family is being very quiet eating tonight...Yup, I have them trained well...They rave when it is good....but wouldn't dare rant when it is bad...LOL

Awww Ani,

You should have been here!  Brian is able to have soft foods today, so he baked some Orange Roughy, made garlic rice and seasoned green beans.  He just ate some fish, and served the rest to his Paw-Paw.  (I don't do fish)!  He was so happy to have a few bites of fish! 

I love that you have your family trained so well!

I've never tried Orange Roughy...is that kinda like Red Snapper?  Love Red Snapper!!!  Anyhow...that does sound like a good supper...now I'm hungry!!!  That'll teach me for not eating all my supper, I guesss!!!  LOL

Kyle even came up to me after supper and said..."It wasn't that bad Mom, I just put some thousand island on my porkchop to give it some flavor"...LOL

lol Im a new mom for the most part and Ive had my fair share of blunders lol  Thats when you pack up the fam and go to subway!!

Or Timmy's...(Canadian FF...Yum!)  Yup, shoulda, coulda, wasn't thinkin' I guess....LOL

Oh man it would suck to eat something that doesn't taste good.  I mean as little as we can eat we want it to be GOOOOOD!  Oh well, you'll do better tomorrow.

Laura

Yes, I will... thank goodness it is rare...I am known for being an awesome cook!!!

Oh yes, this reminds me of last week when I thought it would be a good idea to cook my meatloaf on convection.  Tasted so bad my 5 yo spit it out, and she's never done that before.  It was better the 2nd day for my lunch.  I haven't been sleeved yet so I'll still eat almost anything.
Joan

My Mom loves her convection...I've never used one!!!  At least you made lunch the next day...the left over chops went in the garbage...so much for my evening Protein snack!  LOL

I used to be an amazing cook, and for the most part I can still turn out pretty good meals, but days, when I find cooking an ordeal, some meals turn into real disasters.   I have less desire to cook now since my family has become independent, so I try to do things that are easy and mindless.   Interesting that you also find eating a 'normal' meal can be a chore because I am the same.   Often I can't really be bothered eating a meal just for the sake of it anymore because probably food is just not that important to me anymore.

You have your family well trained if they suck it up and don't complain when the food is less than good.
