The sun set; dusk fell on the shelf, and lights began to appear along the stove. That which blends, so held, in hand or all alone, such power, to mix, to mash, to merge, to fuse, once individual, now as one, together. The upper reaches, the place of monstrous leftovers, marked ominously with a date, huddle in the brooding gloom of fridge light, mocked by the enticing garish glare of magnet cradled take-out flyers.
2. Cooking is time-consuming, like blogging, like writing, like life itself, but if you clean up as you go, it’s easier. Try baking soda and vinegar – ecofriendly, frugal, and together they’re an explosive combination, seriously you can make a volcano while cleaning. Don’t forget to snap on your rubber gloves and clean that dirty, dirty oven. Maybe you’ll have naughty dreams about kitchens – hot, steamy dreams about someone else cooking/cleaning for you, oh yeees!!!
What a funny read!
Thank you kindly, so pleased you enjoyed it.
I followed the blogging trail to your blog, now following and shared your first post!!! 🙂
haha very good! Of course I had to sing your words to the REM tune!
Of course, it’s a contagious song, but in the best way! 🙂
Thanks very much. I just had to explain why I snorted with laughter when I told my bro I was leaving him to go to work. He wants to know what kind of work makes me laugh.He now thinks I lie about working altogether and moan about the hundreds of messages for no reason.
Your blog is as fantastic as always and I love the way you can intersperse the pieces of film in there.
Don’t ever stop adored one.
xxx Massive Hugs xxx
Ha! Were you leaving playing games to go to “work” (were you putting work in quotes, it seems to be the thing to do these days lol)?
Thank you so much, dear friend, you’re always a ray of sunshine and I’m so happy to know you enjoyed it, dear David – I’m trying to write more, it relaxes me. 😉
Hope this week is treating you well and the weekend full of love, peace, hugs, and wonder. 🙂
Massive but the messages they just keep coming but I guess it would be scarier if they stopped hugs xoxo
How do you manage to become more brilliant with every awesome post?
Your cheque is in the mail! But seriously, thank you, you’re too kind, but please, continue.
Murdoch has left us on tenterhooks, again (love it) and they’re coming back (again) – awesome! 🙂
Oh! So glad to hear that about Murdoch! I hope Netflix gets new episodes soon. More hugs.
Yes, as far as I’m concerned it can go on and on and on, of course here in Canada because it’s CanCon (CRTC requirements that media must air a certain percentage of content that was at least partly written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada) it does go on and on and on. lol 😉
Mega Me Ol’ Mucker hugs xoxox
Amazing. Love the “Losing Your Religion” and your kitchen challenges. I so remember that Lucy episode ! Order yourself a pizza. You’ve earned it !
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Mmm, pizza, drooling. 😉
Hope this weekend treats you kindly.
Eat the eggs, not family or friends. A bad egg, oh the memories. Your lettuce variety of puns is completely fresh, I hate stale or rotten/slimy produce. My food battle used to be sugary sweets. Now it’s anything salty and creamy. I don’t buy any of it so every day is a regret and an accomplishment.
HeeHee, you really got into this – olive it!!! 😉
OMG, my kitchen’s trying to kill me????
Yes and if we don’t see posts from you, we will know it succeeded in it’s evil plan! 😉
Great fun! Every time I read your posts, I have this silly grin on my face for about five minutes afterwards.
That’s what I want to hear! Cool!
Hope you have a lovely weekend. 🙂
I’ll just take the guy in the apron!😉
I know, wasn’t Cary Grant a dish! 😉
Hope you have an awesome weekend. 🙂
anytime, yes!
🙂
I form an emotional bond with all my food… before, during, and after eating it.
That must be rough-age on you. 😉
I just want to be a regular guy… all the way to the fiber of my being.
I donut about that…
I been through the dessert on a horse with no name… it burnt my buns
Maybe some butter would cool them down?
Couldn’t hurt.
Or…
ha!
🙂
Diet tip: Never each carbos and proteins in the same meal. Carbs and veggies, proteins and veggies are all good. Steak and potato a no no. Pasta with meat sauce a no no. Bread and pasta yes yes. Bread and protein no no. Excellent post Donna.
Carbs seem to have taken a dislike (intense) to me of late so that’s not a big problem, but thanks for leaving the tip, John, good to know. Hope you have a wonder-filled weekend. 🙂
You as well, Donna
🙂
I satiate on your posts D.Parker.
AND
I have hot and steamy dreams about someone cooking for me….just let it be in their own kitchen.
BUT
My wet dreams abound when someone cleans up my own kitchen!
I fly now at last to the too fast, too spicy, and too costly food of my dearest dream walker; my dearest dream stalker; my Chipotle`.
(sung to the tune of..)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1T71PGd-J0
~~dru~~
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, now I have that in my head, although My Chipolte sounds delicious!
Hope you have a good weekend with “clean” dreams. 😉
Hillarious! How are you my friend?
lol Hope you have a great weekend! 😉
Hee, fun 🙂 And true too!
Bit of both, hope your weekend goes wonderfully. 🙂
You are always making me smile, when I read your posts, Donna 😀
Enjoy a beautiful weekend.
Thank you and you as well. We have sunshine so it seems likely. 🙂
Thank you, Donna 🙂
🙂
Though I am a fool for puns and thus very enthusiastic about #6 (and, for that matter, the whole lot of this hilarious post), I have to pick #5 as my favorite. Will try to keep it in mind whilst I attempt to roast a chicken this weekend. Stopping by from #FridayFrivolity. Now back to the bird.
Glad you enjoyed it and be careful, those birds can be fowl. 😉
Funny as ever, Donna! And that first paragraph was spectacular; I really thought you were leading into a fiction story about a murderous kitchen/refrigerator or something, though I equally loved that yummy, tongue-in-cheek parallelism.
Ah, food. People probably would not think I had struggles with it (both eating and preparing food), but I do. Just the other day I mega-burned toast. So I took it outside for the birds but felt compelled to photograph it before I threw it out. I think the birds might have rejected it. . . . I consider myself a bit of a modern-day Lucy. I have a good dish or two and it generally turns out okay, but when I make mistakes, I really make mistakes. Mostly with appliances and when I’m rushing too much (which I do because I don’t enjoy cooking and want to be done with it ASAP). Anyway, rambling. Good luck with . . . . everything, Donna! 🙂
I was inspired by Joseph Conrad.
Did you think “The Birds! The Birds!” as you gave them your burnt offering? I’m sure they appreciated it on some level. 😉
Hope you have a wonder-filled weekend!
Aha. I must admit I’ve not read Conrad in many years, and only The Heart of Darkness (which, as an author, I’d think it’s difficult to write a better book than that). And, no, I was probably more self-centered than that: I was thinking more like, “This is the worst I’ve ever burned toast. It’s amazing I didn’t burn the house down.” Then I guess it could be a Talking Heads tune.
You have an excellent weekend, too, Donna!
Yes, that was the one, ‘Heart of Darkness’, aka, the kitchen when food is giving one issues.
Oh no, now I’ve got “Burning’ Down The House” in my head, actually, that’s not a bad thing, thanks, off to dance! 😉
Coincidentally, I saw some Cliff’s Notes at the store yesterday, which reminded me I also read Conrad’s Secret Sharer, but that was probably before HoD. Hope the dancing was invigorating, Donna!
It was and I didn’t even injure myself! Wow! lol 😉
Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
Hee, hee! 😀
Hope your weekend is filled with wonder and laughs. 🙂
So do I as it’s been a dreadful week! Wishing the same to you – not, of course, a dreadful week but wonder, laughs and maybe a bit of joyous enlightenment. 🙂
So sory to hear that, I hope the weekend is much better. 🙂
Dear Donna, I so feel your pain about cooking and even more so about the cleanup! It amazes me that you turned it into such a delightful post! #6 is particularly fabulous.
And I especially relate to the meme — “I tried to cook something from scratch, and ended up summoning a demon.” Horsefeathers! That explains everything!
Given my allergy to eggs, and the fact that I just can’t seem to completely get rid of ulcers I do a lot of “sort of” cooking. What passes for chili in my kitchen would draw ridicule from anyone else for it’s lack of heat and marginal use of tomatoes. It’s sort-of chili. That kind of thing.
TGIF, it’s been an ugly, frustrating, and LONG week. But the end is in sight. Mega hugs.
Jello from the other side, thank you for commenting and understanding, Teagan. Well, you don’t have to worry about #4 then. I think given my restrictions if I had to give up eggs too, wow, I feel your pain.
I’m glad you enjoyed the post, put something good into your week. I’m sorry to hear it’s been so sucky, I’m sure you don’t want to taco bout it, but if you do (penne for your thoughts), I’m here to listen, you have my email (I’ve got all the thyme in the world). I’m wishing you a relaxing and peaceful weekend.
Mega I donut have any more food puns hugs xoxox
Those memes are hilarious!!! My kitchen is a war zone too.
You should link up at #bloggerspotlight too!
http://www.raisingfairiesandknights.com/blogger-spotlight-56/
I did, thanks for leaving me a blogging breadcrumb trail, hope others find their way there too!!! 🙂
Hope your party and your weekend are awesome!!!
Ok, I almost lost it with the onions and emotional bonds, but I was able to control my snorts. However, I truly lost it with the eggs and eating friends and family!
Oh, sweet lady, thank you for the laughter, it seems to be a rare commodity for me these days.
Have a wonderful weekend.
We need more laughter and more fun, we really do, especially these days!
Thank you, looks promising so far and the sun is figuratively and literally shining down on us! 🙂
We truly do.
Glad you have sunshine, it always makes the day better! <3
So true. 🙂
🙂
🙂
Awesome read, no surprise! #fridayfrivolity
Thank you kindly, Lisa, hope this weekend treats you well. 🙂
Right back at you! 💕
🙂
Best rendition of any REM song…ever…
Wow, luckily you didn’t hear me sing it. 😉
Great gifs! Do you make them yourself? Love the last one. Cary Grant💝
Sometimes, yes, Mr. Grant was a delight. 🙂
Haha, funny post as always!
Thank you kindly, hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
You are the queen of GIFs! Way too funny!
God save the Queen, now I want to eat some beans. 😉
LOL
😉
LOL! You had me cracking up over your eggcellent tips!
Yes, Traci, olive that! 😉
I liked your including the anonymous leftovers and how time consuming cooking is! I liked the pictures and always am amused when I come to visit. I have little interest in cooking for myself but sometimes make a batch of something and eat it until I run out. Speaking of which, I do need to go to the store. . . Hmmm.
Glad you enjoyed it and best of luck on your trip to the store, that’s a whole other post! 😉
Definitely, Donna, a whole other place to create hilarious situations. Also a location with many downfalls, drama and disasters ahead. . . (A little slap happy and got carried away on “D’s”)
Hope you have a fun springtime, Donna. 😀
A bit on the wet side so far and I heard a nasty rumour that snow is on the way, but I’m just going to picture Spring-like things. 🙂
Hope this week is being good to you so far.
Love your sense of humor. I’m chuckling as I’m trying to type this note of thanks. So much fun meeting you at the blog party…..I think I need to sign up for a newsletter or something…..
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed it.
Which blog party? And do you have a blog, if so, could you drop back and leave the link so I can find you, all that’s coming up on here is your email.
Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
What a delight! I’m an avid cook and I found your humor and images hilarious! I can relate even though I do love to cook. Hope you keep at it. Eventually, you will find your groove 😊
I loved to cook, was fairly good at it, well, until medical restrictions, now, my kitchen, sigh, I have no words lol 😉
Thanks for dropping by, so glad because I found your site and social media, cool. 🙂
My kitchen and I have a love/hate relationship. I loves to F with me and I hate to cook! I manage “barely edible” very well!
Love/hate is a great way to describe it, actually, why can’t we all just get along? lol 😉
I’m support staff for my husband’s cooking. It isn’t easy! Enjoyed this. The kitchen truly is a place of hazard!
It is, watch out, but at least there’s two of you, that’s great! 😉
How did I miss THIS? *Glares at WordPress notifications* If it happens again, there will be a beet-down of metric proportions!
Enjoyed it as always! Thanks for the giggles – you made my evening! 😉
Many people missed this and many other posts because WordPress is up to it’s old tricks – this time they set some people’s settings to block all email notifications about posts/comments, etc. Check your settings. I wondered why my inbox was suddenly so nice and tidy lol 😉 Glad you got here!!! Always happy to see you, anytime! Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
If I want someone else to decide what I should or shouldn’t see, I’ll pop into Facebook. Geeze, why can’t they just leave us in peace? I’ve really gotten tired of all the “data-collecting”, “number-crunching”, and “demographic shifts.” Get a clue, WordPress, get a clue!
It’s frustrating when they just keep playing with us, all we want to do is blog! 😉
Exactly!
🙂
I’m super duper lucky! I caught me a man that does almost all of the grocery shopping and cooking. That’s my tip. Find one of those. 😉
When you say ‘caught him’, care to share any hunting tips? lol 😉 I hope his captivity is humane! 😉
Geez, let’s see, that was almost 20 years ago. I’m not sure I remember my tactics. I’ll let you know if any come to mind. 🙂
lol 😉
Thank you for coming to the Blogger’s Pit Stop last week.
Janice, Pit Stop Crew
Thanks for having me, Janice, I hope I can spend more time there this weekend! Can’t wait! 🙂
Brilliant post Donna. I especially loved where you compared ‘fast and processed’ food and blogging, lol, so true! We get the satisfaction from the loving ingredients we put in. Happy new week to you. 🙂
That’s so true, Debby, the ingredients and the time we take really shows. Hope you’re having a week as wonderful as you. 🙂
Thank you Donna. 🙂
🙂
I just LOVE it <3
Thank you kindly! 🙂
I just LOVE <3 it!
Thank you, you’re too kind, hope you’re having a lovely week. 🙂
Love this! #6 is too cute. Great pictures and made me laugh. Wonderful way to start a Monday but now I have to make some breakfast!
Breakfast is important – be careful lol 😉
Another clever, fun and interesting blog. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for dropping by, hope you’re having a wonderful week. 🙂
Thank you. I never asked what the D. stands for. You’re not a Dorothy, are you? (Though your remarks are also very clever. Wasn’t Dorothy Parker a great wit?)
I love Dorothy Parker, one of my earliest inspirations, but no, it’s Donna, yes, as in the Donna Parker murder mysteries (like Nancy Drew but not as famous) from years gone by although my parents swore they hadn’t heard of them, hmmm… 😉
It’s a nice-sounding name, whatever their inspiration!
🙂
I love to cook. Have been told I am good at it. However, the smoke detector disagrees. Judgemental so and so!!
Who does he think he is, no wonder he gets poked with a broom when he’s sounding off! 😉
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
THIS ONE MADE ME SMILE! i RARELY LAUGH OUT LOUD, BUT (EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE GROSS ONES) I GREATLY ENJOYED THIS–ESPECIALLY THE CARTOONS AND DOGS TRYING TO COOK!
I’m so glad to hear I made you laugh, Jonathan! Thank you for sharing this! Hope you’re having a delight-filled week! 🙂
Brilliant as always Donna.. my favourite scene in Mrs. Doubtfire.. well almost as when she hoovers it is a joy to watch. I am dismayed that I now have to wear my reading glasses to chop as only beetroot dishes should be that colour. I still find joy in the kitchen as I prepare all the fresh produce.. but is it selfish of me to dream of a private chef when I win the lottery… hugs xx
lol Yes, I keep band-aids in the kitchen drawer, just in case, people are so fussy about the ‘colour’ of their food. 😉
Ooh, a private chef, or one of those services that deliver food made especially for you. Sigh, aah, to dream.
Wishing you a wonder-filled week and weekend ahead, dear Sally. 🙂
You too Donna.. we are having 14 windows replaced.. I will be leaving D and tea and biscuits and head out for a makeover! hugs xx
The better to see everything with my dear… 😉
Hope you have a relaxing and peaceful time, Sally. 🙂
Fun reflections (as always)! The final shot of Cary Grant’s bum did nothing for me, but my wife would have gone faint at the site (loves her some Cary).
He was a handsome devil, surely you love you some of his funny. 😉
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you kindly for the reblog, very good of you to share this. 🙂
Hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
I celebrate the arrival of the anti – Bombeck!
Ha! Thanks, Rob, how have you been? I feel out of the loop, partly WordPress has been playing tricks and set some folks to block all emails, gee, I wondered why my mailbox was so tidy lol 😉
Hope this week is treating you well, so far. 🙂
Really? I wonder if that’s why I’m not getting notices.
Yup, there’s playing games…again.
Reblogged this on Art by Rob Goldstein and commented:
from yadadarcyyada
Thank you so much for the reblog, Rob, I’m so fa behind I’m ahead (my Dad’s joke, never quite sure what it meant but I couldn’t resist his smile that went with it), but despite the delay I do appreciate your kindness. I hope you’re having a week as wonderful as you (not possible, but we can hope). 🙂
I’m behind too. No need to apologize. There is so much happening right now that it’s hard to keep up.
There is, you’re so right and your country is, wow, I have no words. Stay strong. 🙂
Right. I’m beginning to think it’s over. it’s heartbreaking to see the United States in this condition.
I think it might be a wake up call for some and you will rise again. We did it here in Canada, we came out on the other side stronger.
It’s mind boggling.
I don’t think that what happened in Canada involved hostile interference by an enemy nation and collusion from within your government. As crazy as it sounds, this is what our intelligence agencies say happened.
We had a part take over our country with election fraud, more than once and payments to Senators and…the list goes on…they then tried to destroy and dismantle everything we hold dear. I think yours is a big more showy and orange and crazy but it amounts to the same thing, the disintegration of democracy.
Hope you can drop by the blog party and leave some links https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Bless you …I suddenly felt a rush of hope. I’ve been feeling lost today. And yes! Thank you for the invite!
I’m glad I could help, see you later. 🙂
Nice one, Donna. I could relate to the Golden Retriever in the kitchen – no idea what the hell I’m doing! Ha ha. Never could cook and have been known to actually make my guests sick (honestly and not as funny). Anyway, I eat healthy food, but it always comes our weird. The poor husband doesn’t complain, or he’d have to take over the cooking. 😀 Have a delicious day!
I love cooking (not the clean-up), but why oh why must it be so complex?
He’s wise not to complain, very wise. 😉
😀 Love this! My partner is the designated chef in our house. I stick to toast and sandwiches, it’s safer that way… Lol. #FridayFrivolity
Oooh, lovely! Safety is important. 😉
This was a great post, Donna. Hilarious. 😀 — Suzanne
Thank you so much, Suzanne, hope you’re having a lovely week. 🙂
Late to your post again, Donna! Always laugh at and love your creativity! Lettuce give you an applause! No kitchen tips…not my fav room in the house! Follow a deprivation diet at my “over 75”
age! 😞 🎶 Christine
lol You’re a hoot. A lot of people have been missing a lot since WordPress pulled one of it’s classic moves – it set some bloggers settings to blocking all email from other bloggers. Seriously. I noticed my email was so nice and empty, there was a reason. And I wasn’t the only one.
Hope this week has been treating you kindly. 🙂
Loved this! I love cooking and as a person who grew up in Hawai’i my main obsession is making foods from there that you just don’t see in NYC (yeah, poke is the new Starbucks, but there’s more to Hawaiian food than that!). Some of ’em are too complicated but I’m getting more of them! I’m always SO happy when I try something new and it actually comes out. Spam musubi, anyone?
I think the thing that amazed me the most, though, was when I made my first mozzarella cheese and it actually worked! Incredible (and very yummy)!
Mmmm, you’re making me drool. I think I’ve had Hawaiian food twice or three times, and my memory is drool-provoking, not a lot of Hawaiian food restaurants up here in Canada either lol 😉
I haven’t been making cheese lately, I love mozz and I saw an easier recipe for ricotta the other day, got to try. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your foodie thoughts!
Hilarious! And, I have definitely dreamed of my husband doing the dishes, and was super disappointed when I woke up to a full sink!
And I notice the dish fairies aren’t working very hard these days! What’s up with that?
Donna, you are one cleaver lady. Such a fun and very informative post. I love it!
Thank you kindly, so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
So cute and TRUE!!!! Love the memes!
Thank you, hope you can drop by my blog party and share your links and find others https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
You make me laugh Donna! No kitchen tips except to get invited out to dinner as often as possible 😊
That’s an excellent tip, Debbie, really. 😉
Hi Donna,
I always cry when I cut up onions. I hate it so much I will ask my husband or buy them already chopped.
Janice
The trick is not to get emotionally attached lol 😉
Hope to see you later at the blog party https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Enjoyed that Donna!!!!
So glad, Ritu, hope this week is treating you kindly. 🙂
I’m on School holiday… can’t complain, the sun is out!!! (But not right mow, it’s night time!)
Sounds lovely, I hope you have a lovely time. 🙂
Thank you Donna! Have a great weekend!
You too and I can’t wait to see what wonderful links to your posts you leave at the blog party https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you/
I’ll be back to drop some links xx
Yessss! Can’t wait! 🙂
I must say, I really enjoyed reading this post. It made me realize how blogging is indeed similar to cooking hahaa 😀 Lovely post. Sharing it on twitter!
Thanks and thanks for sharing. Hope you can drop by my blog party and leave some links to your posts and find other blogs https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/

Cute Post! My goodness you get a lot of comments! Your blog must be very loved. Thanks for the great post and Cary Grant’s tush. 😉
I’m lucky to have such a wonderful blogging family. Hope you can drop by my blog party – leave links to your posts, find others, etc. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Wow. What a talent! That was brilliant. I can relate to surviving in the kitchen. I bought a new stove a couple of months ago and just today I was wondering if it actually works, lol.
Ha, that’s funny. Thanks for dropping by, hope this week is treating you kindly. 🙂
Hilarious, Donna and I love the personifications at the beginning.
Glad you liked it, hope this week is treating you kindly, Susie. 🙂
Excellent fun Donna; I really should come here all the time !!
Drop by anytime, my blogdoor is always open. 😉
love this
So pleased to hear it, hope this week is treating you well. 🙂
This week has been fair..what about you?
Pretty good except the snow in April lol Hope you can drop by the blog party and leave some links to your blog posts https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you/
Hi I saw you over at Jacqueline’s blog and wanted to come by and say Hi and that I love your kitchen post. I don’t cook anymore I used knock myself out in the kitchen but now that everyone is grown and gone I enjoy watching and reading about others. Love this! ~✿~ღ~✿~
Jacqueline knows how to throw a party, a great blogger!
So glad we found each other and we agree already, kitchens are complicated. 😉
LOL that made me laugh! Yes they surely are! 😉 You made me laugh~ღ~
So glad, hope you can drop by and leave some links to your posts https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Oh wow okay http://tellmeaboutit.co
That’s my blog link. Is that what you mean? 🤗🤗💛💛
Yes, that’s great. You can also leave links to individual posts, social media links, etc., but drop by here https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/ Come back as often as you want and leave as many links as you like, can never have too much of a great thing. 🙂
Oh wow okay. I didn’t know to do that. Thank you for letting me know ! 💜❤
Blog parties or linky parties are all different. We all need to learn, that’s part of the blogging journey. 🙂
Oh okay. I guess I’ve never done the blog parties I’ve been blogging here for 4 years. Lol 😂 makes me laugh to think I never have seen one till now! Have a beautiful Friday and weekend! 🌼💛
They can be so fun and a great way to meet other bloggers. 🙂
Drop by here and leave your links https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Okay I will do that later today I can’t think of anything to share at the moment. Thank you for explaining that. 🌼💛🌼💛
Any post, old or new and/or social media links or even links to other bloggers. The sky is the limit and drop by anytime, my blogdoor is always open – no time limit on fun! 😉
Lettuce celebrate, and romaine calm – me chortling loudly!!!!
Yes! lol Love it! 😉
My kitchen is so small. How small is it? If someone is in it helping me, we must be on intimate terms, because when we are done cooking, it will be time for a cigarette. It has a lot to do with groping for the ingredients.
lol That could also lead to a “It’s complicated” status. 😉
LOVE this! Obviously my favorite clip is from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. And great tips too. Sorry about the garlic and onions though. My son hates both and it is so hard for me to cook without them.
Thanks for sharing with us on #FridayFrivolity.
I could live without the onions, but the garlic seems cruel and unusual punishment. lol 😉
Hope this week is treating you well so far. 🙂
thanks for a fun read. I do enjoy cooking (is there something wrong with me?) my problem is planning. I have a great idea of what to make but of course no ingredients!
There’s nothing wrong with you, although I wish there were clean up fairies. 😉 Hope you can make it to the blog party, leave folks links to your posts, etc. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
A great read, Donna. I was truly thrilled last night when my 11 year old daughter offered to cook. Well, she didn’t burn the place down, but she smoked the place out frying potatoes and I seriously think my lungs have been trying to recover from smoke inhalation all day. I’ve been feeling quite unwell and thought I was off to emergency last night. I only have 60% lung capacity at the best of times so it doesn’t take much to cause me grief.
I recently received a service package from the NDIS (national disability insurance scheme) and I’ve gone from receiving 1.5 hours cleaning to 9. It’s made such a difference to the poor house. It doesn’t know what’s hit it. I have also had the girls do some meals but neither could mash potato and they’re not real good.
As for myself, I don’t plan. Mostly make it up as I go and then send my husband out to fetch missing essential ingredient mid cook. Actually, I don’t do that anymore. I check the ingredients before I start.
Take care,
xx Rowena
It’s definitely the thought that counts and the firemen didn’t have to be called although sometimes (as long as no one is hurt) that would be lovely. lol 😉
I’m so glad you’re getting more help, Rowena, what a sweet relief. 🙂 Big hugs.
I hope you can drop by my blog party (ongoing, why have a time limit on fun) and leave some joy for others https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you-blog-party/
Cooking can definitely be an experiment in terror. But I noticed, as I read, that I’m baffled by and jealous of your little soundless videos. I have SO much to learn.
GIFS are easier than they look and please drop by and leave some links to your posts here at my ongoing blog party https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/04/06/the-wonder-of-you/ 😉
On my way!
Awesome! 🙂
Thank you kindly. I wish I’d got here sooner, but well, life. Thank you so much, it’s much appreciated. Hope this weekend treats you well. 🙂
This is hilarious. I’m still laughing at the one with the dog and the rolling pin.
Thank you, dogs cooking makes me laugh too and if loving that is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. 😉
#3!!! Don’t let the takeaway food tempt us 🙂
But it whispers to us, sometimes screams – we need food earplugs!!! 😉
Hope this week is ‘treating’ you well, Christy. 🙂
Haha food earplugs 😀 So much fun over on Twitter yesterday, eh?!! You’re adorable. The week here is going well, thanks, and hoping the same for you 🙂
Twitter is a never-ending party, more for some than others lol 😉
Hope this summer is continuing to treat you well, Christy. 🙂
I really enjoyed this . . . oops, gotta go . . . time to fix dinner. Thank you for linking up at The Blogger’s Pit Stop Link Party. I’m sharing your link on social media.
