My MoFo wasn’t so great today.  I generally do most of my cooking in the day, eating primarily raw food in the evening.  So my midday meal is usually my largest meal of the day.

Today for lunch I tried to make apple sausage burgers, sweet potato hashbrowns, roasted zucchini, and steamed broccoli.  Instead I made a cornucopia of burnt food.  The burgers fell apart in my skillet, causing me to reach into the hot skillet to push the pieces back together.  Think – “I’ll just reshape these and they’ll stick back together.”  I don’t know why I thought that my hands were made with stainless steel, but apparently I did.  And thus, I sustained burn #1.

I juilenned the sweet potato because I have a new fancy tool that does it pretty easy.  Did I remember to quick cook them before placing thin strands of hard potatoes into the hot skillet?  Nope.  Did I, burnt the absolute crap out of them because they stuck?  Yup.  One side was a lovely shade of “burnt as all get out” and the other was “raw like it was just harvested.”  Yum.

I did remember to pull the zucchini out before I burnt it, but I can’t say the same about the broccoli.  Somehow it ended up tasting like garbage.  I might have over steamed it.  Burn #2 happened when I realized that I set my cookie sheet on the stove top that was still on.  Oh but my joy didn’t stop there.  As I was working in the kitchen preparing plates I slammed a drawer on my hand.

Apparently today wasn’t my day.  Maybe tomorrow.  Sigh.
