So, as far as I can remember the original "things you've learnt" started with an act of my stupidity (not knowing that naan bread needs to be cooked), so it seems appropriate that I start another with a similar act.
So, I was cooking dinner, potatoes in the pan, steamer doing the veg, etc, I decided to put the rubbish out with the spare 5 mins or so I had before the potatoes would start to over boil and need attending/turning down. When I came back I looked at turning down the potatoes, but they weren’t boiling yet, which was odd, so I checked the hotplate setting, yep 6...oh....I put the wrong hotplate on, ok, well I’ll just put the pan on the hotplate that's heated up...oh....the steamer is sitting on the hotplate that has been heating up, oh..what's the melting plastic smell...
Yes, I managed to melt my steamer to the hotplate in a nice gooey mess.
Amazingly though, it cleaned up ok AND the steamer actually still works, even though the underside is all bubbly now.
Oh, I want to point out, that other than these occasional mishaps, I am a competent cook.
Anyway, today I learnt that on occasion Steaming Vegetables isn't the healthiest option, what've you learnt?

I have learnt not to walk in forrests with no shoes. Once on normal ground I was surprised to find bloody stumps rather than feet.
Also, a lesson learned by ever so many people, never ever drink ever so much tequila. Precious liver and stomach and brain wil never be the same again.

I learnt that I probably shouldn't be allowed to talk people without supervision... I think I gave a boy the wrong idea, and now I'm in over my head.  |

No, apparently I didn't learn that, cause I just did it again. I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to explain what I really meant in any given conversation. |

See? I can never get across what I mean. I'm just riddled with misunderstandings. And I ended up getting caught in a web with one male friend, wherein we were both trying to let each other down gently. Meantime, I have another attaching too much significance to the fact that I called him, and now he's getting all intense on me. I shouldn't complain that someone's pursuing me, really, but it's just ending up awkward. Why can't people accept that I say exactly what I mean? That there are no hidden levels of meaning. Boo. I need someone standing next to me at all times going 'What Laura meant to say was...' |

I watched that episode this morning!
She's nice, but I must admit I was glad to see that they haven't lost the fit Republican. I meant to post this in the appropriate thread. Along with the fact that all political dramas are in some way linked to each other...

I learnt to make Thai Green Chicken Curry, learnt by doing I might add. It was rather lovely too, and as usual, I managed to make enough for 2 people, shame I don't really have anyone else to cook for. |
