Last night, I prepped our dinner and put it in the fridge to marinate, then turned on the oven to heat up, and WEG and I went for a run. We got back, I stuck the marinated chicken in the oven, put some rice on to steam and cooked some broccoli. 30 minutes later the timer dinged and everything was ready...or so I thought!
Apparently, I only turned the oven to bake, and I did not turn the temperature on. Therefore, our chicken sat in the oven for 30 minutes NOT COOKING! Brilliance, I tell you. Luckily the rice stayed warm and the broccoli could be reheated after the chicken cooked for another 30 minutes- this time with the oven on.
I'm not totally sure how I did not notice that there was no heat coming from the oven when I put the chicken in- WEG asked me that exact question, in fact. No clue how I managed to overlook that fact, but I surely did. Thank goodness the chicken turned out to be pretty good, so all was not lost!
But seriously, where is my brain? I've heard of pregnancy brain, but I am not pregnant, so what is my deal?!
Too funny! It's probably because you have so much on your mind with the wedding. A few weeks ago, I put all the ingredients for a yummy chicken and stuffing dinner in the crock pot, turned it on and left for work. When I came home, it was still cold. I never plugged it in! Duh! haha I feel ya :)
ReplyDeleteAre you running any races this spring?
Just have to say, that made me laugh. I have the same issues and am not pregnant either! We need to find something to call it that's just as good as pregnancy brain. =)
ReplyDeleteI do crazy stuff all the time and I'm always stumped how it happened in the first place. My latest antics were burning pizza boxes that I had placed in the oven to keep the dog away from them. This wasn't days later or anything...only an hour and I still burned them enough they had to be tossed in the yard to cool down. I think it has too do with too many things on our minds. Glad the chicken was still good. :D
