To think that if you walk into a kitchen while someone is cooking for you and start complaining.....

[ShinyAndNew]

That the food is burnt and then continue to rant for five minutes about how they always burn things and cannot cook with out burning pans etc, then that person is likely to feed your dinner to the dog, who will appreciate their efforts?

And if that person does, in fact, feed your dinner to the dog, you only have yourself to blame and sitting in a mood demanding use of the remote control to spite that person will only make you look childish and pathetic?

Especially since that person prefers watching iplayer and on demand anyway or walking the dog whilst listening to her ipod.

Well am I?

no, YANBU.....that person might be now wearing the aforementioned dinner instead.

yANBU. Shiny why is he still there? Can't you set the dog on him?

Would that be watching iplayer whilst wearing a fetching pair of testicle earrings? If so, yanbu

bratnav, my dog is tiny and a very fussy eater. I think DH might be too fatty for him

Nope.

I have a Dalmatian and a weimararner who will eat anything, shall I courier them over? Still owe you huge for the shuffle :)

why not email them an idinner?

Oh yes please. Are they very hungry? You have already repaid me for the shuffle by not telling every one all about my awful taste in music and my secret love of cheesy pop

I would have thought, if that person always burns dinner, that you might decide to take over cooking duties yourself instead of leaving it to her, no? Given that you are clearly so much better at it (and by extension everything) than they are.

Btw was it actually burnt or did he just expect it was going to be?

Well if I don't feed them before they leave in the morning they will be :o

DD2 looooved your playlist and won't let us change it :)

No, I had dropped some sauce on the hob and that was burning. I am a good cook, just a messy one.

The kitchen probably smells of burning every time I cook, but it's usually just stuff that I am burning onto the hob

bratnav dd2 is very clever

Good, I'd hate to think of the poor dog having a badly cooked dinner

Cheesy pop rules.

I know, thank god she doesn't take after her mother (well except for the love of cheesy pop).

Time for a cooking strike!

DH wanders in when I am cooking and starts suggesting improvements. I generally then leave the kitchen

Noah, that is what I usually when he walks in complaining, but that wasn't working so I have tried a different tactic now "Oh, you don't like spag bol anymore? You won't any then will you?" "You think it's burnt? Well we can't have mummy's blue eyed boy eating burnt food, there are pot noodles in the cupboard. The kettles just boiled love"

You would think he would have learnt by now. He sat complaining about how hungry he was for a few hours and then went and bought himself pizza when he realised I wasn't going to get up and make him anything.
