Okay. Is this a hint or a brain fart?

I brought home leftovers from the AX dinner last weekend - since Jim couldn't go, the least I could do is bring home something he could benefit from, right?

None of it would be edible reheated as it was - but it would work rather nicely remastered into something else. Lobster and abalone into a seafood and corn chowder, for example. Toss the lobster shells into the stockpot. Win, right?

I actually managed this last night - and it was a pretty tasty dinner. Made a BUNCH, too.

I took the bath duties - Jim took the dishes afterward. Now, this gets tricky because after the bath, it's books - and only The Dad gets the book deal. (I can read books just fine - as long as Dad's not available. Then, it's okay. I try to do it while Jim is sitting next to us, the kid thinks something's wrong with Dad...soooo...Jim reads all the books.)

Jim said he was done with the dishes as kid appears, freshly washed and in his jammies. That would include the stockpot and the leftover chowder pot, neh?

What do my wandering eyes perceive this AM getting breakfast on?

You got it.

Both of them, still on the stove, left out overnight. And the temps inside our air-cooled house were above 80 all night last night.

Now. Checking icon, I would wonder. I was expecting to make lunch out of that chowder next week. Did I miss the boat THAT much?

I'm a little peeved. That took more than a few moments of planning and execution thar. And now it's garbage. Which I've told Jim he's responsible for today, and if it's still there tonight, it won't be pretty.

I'd think I was a lousy cook and kick myself in the head - except I don't think so.

You wonder why I don't read or write. Here's your answer. My head is too full of dumbass trivia like this instead.

they ate it too, right?

I don't think it was an oversight. there might have been a distraction and then it was forgotten about.

It happens.

[jrittenhouse.livejournal.com]

That would be my guess as well.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but is it my job to remember this stuff? I guess it is!

[jrittenhouse.livejournal.com]

No, it's everyone's job to maintain the household.

[lesliepear.livejournal.com]

Sadly a lot of times it does fall to the mom/wife to remember this kind of stuff.

(HUGS)

Very true. We guys typically are irresponsible and will forget.

Although in our house, sometimes Melanie will leave stuff out and sometimes I will, so it's both of us. :P

Well, have you ever forgotten/neglected to do something that caused inconvenience or irritation for him? Maybe your household is different, but I'd say that over the course of our 30 years together here, we're running about even.

[caitlin.livejournal.com]

No, it is not necessarily your job to remember this stuff.

It happens.

Was anyone hurt or killed because of it?

If not, it's a minor thing.

If so... oh, man... the PAPERWORK.

No... But it was probably an honest mistake - it happens when someone gets too used to taking specific directions about a task. But next time, you can yell: "You did it AGAIN??"

I've made similar mistakes. It really sucks when it happens :/
