I have to say the most irritating thing about this cold is not the congestion, or the occasional cough attack, it's the fact that I have lost the ability to cook well.
I tried making lunch for myself today... well that was interesting. I had a couple squares of pizza left over from this weekend, I read somewhere that heating it up in a skillet helped keep the crust crispy. So I thought "Oh, hey, yeah, I can totally try that one!" yeah... My crust was crispy alright.. and black.. along with the cheese on it. So I threw that away. I looked in the fridge and saw the left over Chicken Stroganoff I cooked Friday last week. Did some mental math, called my mom to make sure it would still be ok, and then cooked up a small bowl. With my stuffy nose, it really didn't taste good, so I threw that away too. Finally I saw some shredded swiss and corned beef from the deli on the fridge. I decided to make a reuben! Can't screw that up right?! ...yeahhhh...
I had the heat on low, sprayed the pan, light light light amounts of butter on the bread to grill it. I went to the bathroom for LITERALLY 10 seconds to get a hair tie, went back to my sandwich, BURNED! One side was black as black! So I turned off the heat, and took off the burned piece of bread. I switched it out and tried again. Once again, I burned the other side, and just decided Eff it! I ate it anyway.
Thankfully my wonderful Mom came home and cooked dinner. If it were up to me we probably would have had to go out to eat because I probably would've burned the place down.
This cold needs to go away simply because I love cooking and clearly have no ability to do so when I am sick.
Time for dinner, cooked by someone else, and it smells delicious!
