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 am very fond of lentils, but Pie is Pie.

suggestion:

divide household chores along gender lines - you cook, he cleans the car.

peace reigns.

Lovebunny, you are joking, aren't you??

PickledFanjoCat · 04/11/2012 13:53

Quite possibly not judging from recent posts from the bunny!

thenightsky · 04/11/2012 13:54

Oh God... please OP, come back and tell us why 40lb of lentils

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 04/11/2012 13:55

This thread is making me unhappy because I now want pie more than anything in the world :(. And I live with a sodding vegetarian.

AgentZigzag · 04/11/2012 13:55

I'm sure some people might be OK at a push with having only 14 bowls to feed the hungry lurkers AllD Grin (not me though - fuck off lurkers, my lentil soup!)

BellaTheGymnast · 04/11/2012 13:57

my pie isn't good enough Grin

Trills · 04/11/2012 13:57

We still don't know if it is a proper pie. I only want it if there is pastry on the bottom.

motherinferior · 04/11/2012 13:58

I have a recipe for lentil pie somewhere

puds11 · 04/11/2012 13:59

40lbs of lentils! Pie wanker! Set the pie back! Grin

Funniest thread ive read in a while!

YANBU, he should have just done what he was told. Insolent pie wanker!

BellaTheGymnast · 04/11/2012 13:59

Me too, none of your 'dish of stew with a pastry flap on top' nonsense.

Grumpla · 04/11/2012 14:07

Oh god. Is he planning on filling the bath with lentils and reclining in it all seductive like?

Is the pie-wanker in fact a lentil-squelcher?

ginhag · 04/11/2012 14:21

happy pie

at 'pie wanker' aries :)

HoneyDragon · 04/11/2012 14:21

Op come back and explain what the bloody lentils were for!!!!!!!

FromEsme · 04/11/2012 14:25

I really couldn't bring myself to get worked up about this. I'm sure the pie will be fine.

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 04/11/2012 14:25

Blimey gin, I haven't seen you round these parts for...well...ever!

Oh, ok then...

Those were the days

ginhag · 04/11/2012 14:35

Back OF head. As far as I know you just have the one.

AgentZigzag · 04/11/2012 14:35

Put a bit of effort in Esme, pies are at least as important, if not more so, than say, how dirty the things in your bin are Wink
