I was so disappointed with dinner, I nearly cried. While it looked really pretty, it didn’t turn out AT ALL! Back to the drawing board on this one!
So while I was feeling sorry for myself over a horrible dinner, I just had to think of my friend Jen, who lost her Mom a week ago today in a car accident, and I quickly had to put my failure into perspective! I mean really, its one dinner, we have food to eat, so I need to quit whining about it!
Tony suggested I heat up a hot dog that we got at the butcher shop last weekend. He had one for lunch and said he was a changed man after eating it. OMG, this is the best hot dog I have ever had – so flavorful and tender! It made up for my lack of pizza! I of course, kicked it up with jalapeno mustard and pickled jalapenos!
I think Hannah gets nervous when I get mad, it gets compounded when my blood sugars are low. One time Tony and I decided to watch a whole movie upon waking up – we didn’t get out of bed until almost 11:00 a.m.! I started cooking hash browns, and I didn’t put Pam in the skillet, so they stuck. I got so mad I took the skillet from the oven and threw it directly into the trash. Luckily my family recognizes these signs and puts up with me!
Another time, early on when I started taking insulin and still figuring it out, we went out to eat. I thought I had timed the insulin perfectly, so I injected at the table, but the food took SO long to come to the table. When the food finally was put in front of me, I could barely get it to my face – Tony knows I love pickles and “tossed” his pickle to me, but it ended up falling in my lap. I looked up and said “you threw f__cking food at me!” And quickly proceeded to wolf down my burger. I think the kids were like 14 and 16 at the time – and happily we can look back at that and laugh!
I hope there are better eats to come over the weekend! I am having lunch with my Mom at Big Bowl tomorrow – I haven’t seen her in a month! See you at breakfast – have a great night. 😀
When Biz gets mad its kinda like Ghandi slapping you. You just don’t see it coming!
Sorry sweets! But thankfully you know its just the low blood sugar! 😀
That’s so frustrating to not have dinner turn out the way it should! And selfishly, I want it to work because I want to try the cauliflower pizza crust…after you perfect it, of course!
Interesting about the low insulin levels and mood – I can only imagine, as when I get just regular low blood sugar, I am mean – insulin-low must be awful!
Here’s wishing a better cooking day to you, Biz!
Oh I bet things like that happen all the time with those who are getting used to insulin! It is funny though, now that you can look back and laugh at it. When I am hungry, even as a non-diabetic, I get cranky. Sorry the dinner didn’t turn out 🙁 You’ll get it down eventually!
hahaha omg throwing out the F word at the table- that is hilarious and i JUST posted about what a beast I can be when my blood sugar gets low and/or i get really hangry! It’s always funnier the next day 😀 Or week…
Looks good! Glad the hot dog turned out ok. Johnny and I had to laugh at our last meal failure b/c when we turned to the hot dog save, they were expired!! We ate them anyways, though! 😛
It sure does look good though. We all have bad cooking experiences now and then!
