Over on Menu’s today I talked a little bit about my fantasy of having a different pair of reading glasses for each room in the house. Hey, it’s practical, especially once you reach the age where you need reading glasses for so many different things. Like reading a label.
LOL - I once cooked some pre-breaded chicken tenders for dinner that, well, they didn’t get done. WHY? Because I couldn’t read the darn bag! I took the bag out of the deep freeze and held it at arms length trying to read the cooking directions. What I accidentally did was cook them at the temperature that you were supposed to cook them at IF you had a convection oven.
Oh my. They really weren’t done.
After finding those darn glasses I went back to the freezer to re-read the bag. (Well after I checked to see if the oven was working….) and sure enough the ‘regular’ oven temperature was quite a bit higher than the temp you were supposed to use for the convection oven.
I’ve been cooking for DECADES! How could I make such a goofy mistake?
All because I couldn’t read the dad blasted label.
The solution is I need a pair of eyeglasses reserved for the kitchen. Hmmm, you know those chains that some ladies wear around their necks to hold their glasses? They’re similiar to the chains that banks use to keep their ink pens from walking off? How about a pair of reading glasses ‘chained’ to the deep freeze?
That would solve the prob!
Getting glasses online now is SO reasonable - you won’t believe how low the prices are until you go and look for yourself. Even in this economy you can afford an extra pair. Or two!
