COMPLETELY different to lucysmam, How do I ACTUALLY do a roast dinner??

[TrinityRhino]

I have a chicken
potatoes
carrots
broccolli
gravy powder
yorkshires
stuffing

I have no bay leaf, onions, lemons, faffy pther shite
I just put lots of salt on

BUT I have a raw food phobia, a panic about chicken being cooked and seemingly no sense of timing

We want it for teatime
WHen do I out it in??
when do I do the pots??
the veg, how do you get it all ready?

I ahve done it three time before and everytime someone else is helping me and I still panic and rush at the end and hope to god everything is ready at once

hold my hand pleeeeeease

right I am putting it in in a minute

well thats just sounds toooe asy

right I have already begun to panic and sweat
help needed

all I'm going to do is turn the oven on and then butter the unwrapped chicken, sprinkle with salt and shove it in

breathe
I have tongs, I wont taouch it

helo, I dont weven want to tak eit out of the carier baqg
I'm still in my jammies I feel like I need ot be in army gear or something
ugh

FINE DONT NHELP ME

turn the tap on first, so that you can wash your hands straight away without having to touch the tap

I mean wash straight after dealing with the chicken

hi norma

rioght its in
I had to turn the tap on with my elbow
I've save your tir for future attempts

hows you?

'm OK - though DD is the shoutiest person on earth

Just sent DH out to supermarket with her and on the list was "a new non-shouty version of DD, or adoption forms"

oh and you can make gravy from the juices and it can turn out nice

quit staring at me, I cannpt cope withmaking gravy out of poison!!!

I so feel your pain with th shouty dd thing

gecko is the loudest voice we have at the mo and she never shuts up
If you find the off button or volume control let me know

can you use disposable gloves to cope with handling the chicken?

Go on, shove your hand up it's bum

AAAGGGHHHHH! its not it's!! [shudder]

The juices aren't poison. Unless you consider the chicken itself to also be poison. If you wouldn't eat gravy from the juices, you really shouldn't be eating the chicken at all.

She has eaten gravy made from the juices, when I made roast chicken at her house.

The gravy was quite nice I thought

use chicken bisto powder if you can;t bear to make gravy from the juices.

or i mix the juices with some bisto to make it a bit richer

helllooooo.

I know that TR won't make gravy from the juices

To be honest I think she is doing quite well just dealing with the chicken at all.

thankyou norma, I'm on my own with just the kids too

noone holding my hand

I have eaten gravy from poison juices when norma made it but I cant do it myself

dont trust myself to make it not poison

chicken is poison, which is why I can't touch anything when I have touched it and dont want to touch it

you have to nuke it and then eat it really quickly for it to be ok

and the juices are only not poison when norma has worked her magic

once it is cooked, it is not poison, when it is raw, tehre is a small chance of posioning, or if it is not cooked through.,

as long as it is well cooked and you follow basic good hygiene, you will be fine

once it is cooked, the juices are cooked and not poisonous

I actually KNOW all of that lulmam and believe it too

BUT the panic, anziety voices in my head dont listne to rationale

have you had any help with that?> anxiety around food and cooking must really interfere with daily life . poor you.

oh god yes it does

I am currently waiting to see my wonderful psychologist that made me the RECOVERING emetophobe I am today

fantastic to conquer emetophobia, i bet you will be able to get to grips with raw chicken very soon !

Trinity, how's it going with the chicken? Did you manage ok?
