To be hopping mad regarding pie?

We decided to have a beef pie for lunch. I put all of the filling ingredients together to cook slowly in our biggest pot. I asked DH to keep an eye on pop...and stir it now and then.

Then I went for a bath.

I could hear DH clanging around and thought he must be stirring etc.

I come down about 40 mins later to find DH has put the pie ingredients in a tiny pan on a higher heat....and begun to cook fucking lentils in the big pot.

AIBU to think you don't mess with someones pie ingredients and CHANGE THE POT AND THE HEAT???

DH thinks I'm crazy.

He often interferes in my cooking because he thinks he's better than me ...he''s not...we are about equally skilled in the kitchen.

And WHY cook a big pot of frigging lentils when there's a bastard big pie on the way with loads of veggies???

I can fully understand your frustration. Boiled beef is tough... gently simmered beef is tender, therefore he has f*ked up the pie big time and YWNBU to make him wear it.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR I want that! Grin

40 lbs must be a typo surely?

You only need about 6 oz to make lentil soup for four, making 40 lbs enough for 465 people (my DH calculator estimates), enough for at least 15 bowls for each person on the thread Grin

And how big would the pot have to be??

I can't find the worlds biggest soup, but I'd have a go at this <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&biw=1146&bih=711&tbm=isch&tbnid=MqavsIR9rvq2kM:&imgrefurl=wehaveacoolsite.com/2010/07/17/big-food/&docid=XboRjA6yKO9raM&imgurl=wehaveacoolsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mozarellastick.jpg&w=404&h=306&ei=kW2WUKhcipjUBfTNgKgH&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=372&vpy=149&dur=10640&hovh=195&hovw=258&tx=128&ty=131&sig=112379514407926695039&page=1&tbnh=150&tbnw=215&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0,i:100" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mozerella stick

Rie m'dear, you do realise that you've come up with the new hip n trendy MN insult? Wink

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:39

I think he is a pie wanker.

I would be annoyed, and I find using inappropriately sized cookwear annoying.

Yanbu. And now I want beef pie!

expatinscotland · 04/11/2012 13:40

Why is he cooking lentils? Weirdo.

Viviennemary · 04/11/2012 13:40

Well I've found out the hard way if I want something done in a certain way I do it myself. Even when you think nobody could possibly get something wrong. They invariably do. I wouldn't dare interfere with DH's cooking. Grin

TheSkiingGardener · 04/11/2012 13:40

That is a pie crime of the first order. No pie for him.

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:41

Why is he cooking lentils?

Have you got to the bottom of this travesty?

cumfy · 04/11/2012 13:42

Was there another pan he could have used for the lentils ?

What was his lentilly plan ?

squeakytoy · 04/11/2012 13:45

why is he weird for cooking lentils??? perhaps he fancies making lentil soup.. it might not be for today you know..

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:46

A beef pie knocks lentil soup into a cocked hat!

AgentZigzag · 04/11/2012 13:47

Surely a pie wanker would be someone who got off looking at pictures of pies?

I'm not sure whether I'd be worried or not if I came across DH looking at pie porn Confused

Elfontheedge · 04/11/2012 13:47

DP feels you are taking this too seriously. He is a fool. And wrong.

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:47

Nonchalant wanker!

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:48

No way! I would go ape over this. I'd take to my bed with the pie!

AllDirections · 04/11/2012 13:48

AgentZigzag don't forget the lurkers.

They might want some too Grin

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 04/11/2012 13:48

In the same way that bus wankers are those who get off from looking at pictures of buses zigzag?

He is a pie wanker

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:50

The other type would be a pie fancier.
