Is anybody else having trouble getting dinner served in a timely manner? The other day, I was on my way to a doctor’s appointment in a town about an hour away and remembered it. I hadn’t put dinner in the slow cooker! What? NOOOO! Not again! I’m so bad about remembering dinner. Isn’t that crazy? The one thing that repeats itself every single day of my life, I manage to forget about until I don’t have time to do it. Do you do that, too? Please tell me I’m not the only one!
Thankfully, I have a really handy group of tools. They’re called children. Specifically, I had a teenager still at home, not gone anywhere yet that day. He’s not really confident in his cooking skills, but I assured him, he could just grab some ingredients and throw them in the slow cooker. The hardest thing he was going to have to do was cut an onion. That didn’t sound so bad. He agreed he’d save the day for me as long as I’d text him the ingredients I was supposed to add. So, I pulled over to the side of the road and sent him the list. And that’s how we got to eat this amazing dinner, called Chicken Tetrazzini.
