Orange slices drying in the oven Confused

I have no idea why but he thought they were part of dinner

Dinner consists of a mozzarella burger, bean hash, fried potatoes - all plated up in the oven

Orange slices at bottom of oven on separate sheet - drying as they are want to do

I’ve just walked in the room and he’s added 3 slices to his plate...

He thought they were ‘garnish’ and didn’t want to offend by not ‘giving it a go’ Grin

FadedRed · 07/09/2018 20:11

Oh bless! 😂
Tomorrow you should make some of salt bake inedible decorations and see him break his teeth trying to eat one, or (as pp mentioned)some bird seed in the fridge.

Reminds me of the time dh asked me to pick up some 350 engine oil. I can back with 250. How we laughed. I should totally have been put down at birth 😂

He says he feels a bit miffed he didn’t get to eat them as they were ‘part of the plate’ Grin

He also now has an orange craving and there’s none left

Do not put out bowls of pot pourri on your coffee table. Grin

ChikiTIKI · 07/09/2018 20:40

Aww :) this has made me smile. I can imagine saying to my husband if he did this things like "sorry there's no orange slices with this" for years afterwards :)

AnnieAnoniMoose · 07/09/2018 20:42

Aww bless. He went from ‘fuckwit’ to ‘sweetheart’ with that one comment.

2BorNot2Bvocal · 07/09/2018 20:43
