I went out this morning and shopped at a Super Market I usually don't go to and then went to Stop and Shop where I usually do go, to not shop and to stand with strikers for an hour today.

At the super market I usually don't go to I bought a beautiful T-Bone steak for about $11 and then went to a local fish market and bought a beautiful piece of fresh haddock for $15.

I put the steak on the left side of my grill and, over some tin foil, I put the haddock, with lemon, butter and bread crumbs on it on the right side. Figuring I could check on the items in about 5 minutes I'd kill some time on my keyboard engaging with my fellow DUers.

After forgetting about my grill and about 20 minutes later, I have a fucking blackened piece of rubber on one side of the grill and a mass of some sort of burnt shit on the other.

Since this situation can't possibly be my fault, I want to tell you all, friend and foe alike, that you all suck.

[Turbineguy]

1. Yeah,

we are just too interesting as conversationalists!

[underpants]

5. Yeah!

What he said.

[Zoonart]

2. Say what now?

[underpants]

3. Eh eh eh. Breadcrumbs is a little close to a fried chicken discussion

which, at one time, was verboten on DU.

great subject line.

[csziggy]

55. Only when it involves corn flakes

[underpants]

56. Point taken

[orangecrush]

70. or pit bulls

eating corn flakes!

[MineralMan]

4. I accept all blame and offer my sincere apologies.

Yes, indeed.

[BannonsLiver]

6. I hope you didn't waste all of that

On the vicious, anti-Biden, concern troll smear OP that is currently light up GDP. That would be a shame.

[louis c]

8. Everybody's to blame except me...

...of course, my wife's not buying it and it looks like we'll be eating Chinese.

[Faux pas]

7. Oh get real!

You know it's either Obama's or Hillary's fault!

[barbtries]

9. oops

for what it's worth, i've done the same. i didn't necessarily shitcan $26 in one day, but yeah. once i boiled water all the way away

[RKP5637]

10. Save it for charcoal!

[louis c]

11. Gas Grill

[RKP5637]

13. Mail it to tRump then. He seems to love coal!!!

[Lochloosa]

12. GO VEGAN!

or not.

[murielm99]

14. That doesn't always work, either.

I remember the time my husband ruined my double boiler making some vegetable concoction.

[defacto7]

50. One of my bad childhood memories is coming home from school

to a house full of smoke emanating from a pot of burning beans. Do you have any idea what that sells like? The house smelled for at least two years.

[rogue emissary]

15. Meat is murder, go vegetarian!

I've ruined a good cheese pizza doing the same thing.

[peggysue2]

16. LOL!!

Although I guess we should all be flattered that our discussions are so-o-o riveting that you ruined your own feast.

Must say, sounds very Trumpish in nature: do the deed then blame others.

[louis c]

18. That was my point. I was channeling the Orange Menace...

...I'm glad you picked up on that.

[keithbvadu2]

47. The republican idea of personal responsibility - blame some other person.

[rzemanfl]

17. You suck to make me hungry and then ruin my appetite. Sorry

about your food.

[democratisphere]

19. Hey!

It's drumpf's fault! Now do you feel better? Call Grub Hub and have someone more focused do the cooking. Happy Holidays!

[yaesu]

20. yep, burnt brownies, burnt rice, you name it, I've sacrificed it to DU

[Smackdown2019]

21. Timer!

Use a timer when you cook. I always do and second, you should NEVER leave a grill UNATTENDED!

[Heartstrings]

22. Might want to put a sarcasm alert on your post...

"Some" aren't getting it!

[louis c]

24. Anyone who needs a sarcasm icon on this post is a moron.

I'm sure you get it, but if there are 4 people on a jury here at DU who don't, I don't mind moving on.

[Heartstrings]

34. Yup! nt

[maveric]

23. Ohhhh. I miss Haddock.

From MA. Now in in SoCal.

[CanonRay]

25. I sure hope you have a dog.

[louis c]

26. Cat...

...but the steak is burnt beyond recognition. Even a dog wouldn't eat it.

[Lancero]

39. Chewtoy perhaps?

[zackymilly]

27. This wouldn't happen if you were a vegan.

$26 would buy a lot of tofu and not contribute to global warming.
Just saying.

[louis c]

31. I don't really plan on living forever...

...so steak and fish are OK with me.

By the way, Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and that didn't help him or extend his life at all.

[2naSalit]

28. To be honest, I lament the loss of a good piece of fish...

that hunk of cow wasn't good for you anyway so I see it as a 50/50... I almost feel better now.

[rocktivity]

29. Tell me about it

There's nearly two decades worth drinking I've had to catch up on because I got so busy DU-ing I forgot that the liquor stores had closed.


rocktivity

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. I'm having a bagel I had to scrape the mold off of.

I'll forward my tax refund to you.

Oh, wait....

[Uncle Joe]

32. The lessons learned, don't spit in the wind, don't text while driving and

don't post while grilling.

Thanks for the thread louis c.

[flying_wahini]

33. DU is mesmerizing!!!!

You will follow the watch with your eyes, you are getting verrry tired........

[Botany]

35. Go to the Union Oyster House and have the Fried Oysters, the Clam Chowder, and the shrimp ...

... cocktail.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

36. According to our president, that steak is just about perfect. Maybe could cook a little longer.

Then, smother with ketchup.

Mmmm.

[RayStar]

37. LOL

I have forgotten food was cooking on the stove and I sit in the kitchen at my desk.

[ekelly]

44. I sit 5 feet from the stove at the kitchen table...

using my laptop to DU, and I frequently forget that I’ve got something on the stovetop or in the oven. That is, until the smell of burnt food or the sound of a boiled-over pot reminds me. Many days and nights of pb&j sandwiches as a result.

[keithbvadu2]

48. The smoke detector is my timer.

[world wide wally]

38. So, when will it be ready?

[lillypaddle]

40. ANYONE who forgets a steak and a nice piece of haddock

on the grill, is just not well mentally. Don't blame us! <----louis c

[Wednesdays]

41. Some people like meat that way

I know my sister does.

[Karadeniz]

42. Not my fault! I'm renowned for not having anything worthwhile to say!

[MicaelS]

43. As a Texan all I can say is....

Well bless your heart!

[vishnura]

45. A fine education for $26, you couldn't find a better deal.

[keithbvadu2]

49. Not even a Trump U degree and a pic of yourself with a Trump cardboard image?

Not even a Trump U degree and a pic of yourself with a Trump cardboard image?

[Demovictory9]

46. what a waste of expensive food

[SidDithers]

51. A most excellent OP...

nicely done louis c




Sid

[CaptainTruth]

52. Sorry about that. A lot of folks like "blackened" cooking. Just add cajun spices.

[marble falls]

53. This has only happened once? My wife drove off without me once. The silent treatment ...

when she got back went on all afternoon.

[Sancho]

54. Maybe the mods will add a Surf and Turf alert before 2020?

You know...a little blue box that pops up every 5 minutes and asks if you are willing to continue, or want to check on dinner....

[Kablooie]

57. I'm so sorry. I'll never do it again.

[dem4decades]

58. We use Alexa as a timer to keep us aware of when to flip or take off the heat.

[MaryMagdaline]

59. Guilty.

[CTyankee]

60. That sounds like something my first husband would say...

[Steven Maurer]

61. OVEN TIMER

When my daughter was little, and she didn't want to do something now, like go to bed or do a chore, we would agree to set the oven timer so that when it beeped, it was time to do that thing. That way, she could finish watching her program or whatever.

When she got to be around 11, and I didn't want to take her out shopping for new clothes, she started to do the same thing to me.


There is a deeper point here if I can figure out what it is, but the lesser point is that oven timers are loud and don't let you forget things.

[Atman]

62. I learned long ago...

Now I always turn on both the stopwatch and the timer before starting the food or logging in. Saved many an expensive piece of fish that way.

[NastyRiffraff]

63. I just opened DU: 5:25pm

I couldn't have been involved in said conversation, however I accept the blame. It was all my fault. Everything is always all my fault.

[Cha]

64. I know the feeling, Louis!

Time goes too fast when you're on DU.

[ZeroSomeBrains]

65. One thing I always try and remember is the internet is your friend when making food

Going to google or youtube to see best practices on cooking food I'm not used to is a mandatory habit for me. Even then I still make mistakes. I guess that's just how it goes. Especially when a certain herm is combined with cooking...

[True Dough]

66. Hey louis c

I hope while you're reading all these responses to your thread that you're not forgetting to pick up your wife somewhere or feed the dog!

[louis c]

68. We had Chinese delivered and my wife took a cab to the airport on her way to Texas...

...she's spending Easter with her niece.

I don't have a dog. I have a cat and she comes and goes as she pleases.

But, thanks for your concern.

[lettucebe]

67. This is legit

We stand chagrined

[louis c]

69. It's really Sanders and Warren supporters' fault...

...they can never let my posts go unanswered.

And then, I can never let them have the last word. And so on and so on. And then 20 minutes passes and all my food is burnt.
