Well after 40 years of burning anything more than over easy eggs; I think I'm a lost cause.

 

I really don't know why every one got so hung up on the fact that I can't cook though. Is it really that strange?

It's not a big deal, but it's also not hard to learn. Have you tried making any recipes?

Yeah, like I said, I attempted to heat up some SPAM. Ended up burning it though.

Where did you find this recipe anyway, in a british cuisine book, between Jellied Eels & Cod drowning in 11 pounds of batter on its soggy crisps bed ? ?

No 'recipe', just attempting to pan fry it. As seen in the T.V. ads.

Nope I used to suck at it, never had a bf thay could do it. Lol. I've learned by trial and error and cooking channels lol.

Hence, the crowbar
Either way, think we can all agree here that we're looking forward to the Wandering cooking mania YT channel down the line, with a Q&A explaining how it all started from burned Spam and a thread on LL

That's extremely doubtful.

Well, then I guess I'm just like all your boyfriends.

 

Besides, the entire point of me going out to a drive through, is so that I can go out. If I cooked all my meals I would become a complete 'shut in'. I'd never have anywhere to go, and my vehicle would cease to run. Much like it did during the 2020 lockdowns when I ordered pizza instead.

I feel you're a poet. Deep, filed with emotion. I challenge you to a poem-off (totally made up thing). Winner gets...well nothing.

but here is some motivation...and GO!

Oh no need for any 'inspiration'. As I have been working on one for the past 20 years.

 

Alone and unknown.

Here I sit, in the dark. Never again, will I see a park. 

The only light, the glow of the T.V. screen. As I go on and sit unseen.

I go out, yet remain invisible. In this country of the 'inadvisable'.

There is no 'we', there is no 'us'. There is only I, and this poem is sus.

 

That last line is the reason I have been working on for 20 years. It ends with a laugh, and I can't seem to get it right.

I think it is great!!!

 

You jest at the last line, yet it's my favorite part. 

[Wandering_Mania]

And so it just hit me. The finished version of that poem:

 

Alone and unknown.

Here I sit, in the dark. Never again, will I see a park. 

The only light, the glow of the T.V. screen. As I go on and sit unseen.

I go out, yet remain invisible. In this country of the 'indivisible'.

There is no 'us', there is no 'we'. There is only I, there is only me.

 

20years it took me to realize what was wrong with that last line. I needed to reverse the 'we' and 'us' and the pieces fell into place. Damn was that one hell of a 'brain fart'.

There is no 'us', there is no 'we'. There is only I, there is only me.

 

Alone and moan,

I desire the dark, admonished and stark

my only light, a reflective addiction of exposure obscene.

I live in a construct of sins divisible, I'm a pure hedonist, of which is visible.

There is no anyone, but Rae. There is only lust which I'll never let sway.

Poetry flirting! I like it!

were you high?  Who the fuck waits 45 minutes for drive-thru food?  You didn't think to either drive around again or go inside?

 

Lmao that's exactly what i was thinking. My guy waited for 45 minutes for fast food, even a 5 minute wait makes people throw hands at the counter XD

Well as I said: I'm extremely patient. Which really, in a world of 'instant gratification', makes me quite the 'oddity'.

As the saying goes: 'Patience is a virtue.'

And it's a virtue that very few people have anymore.

I don't see how waiting 45 minutes for some fast food is virtuous but... alright cool, whatever floats your dinghy lmao.

I also said I didn't realize that it had been 45 minutes until I turned me car back on to see the clock. And before you say something else that shows you didn't read what I had already said in response to that statement, I'll just quote myself:

On 11/24/2022 at 2:20 PM, Wandering_Mania said:

To answer your first question: No. I'm just extremely patient.

As for the second question: Apparently I did.

And the third: Not really. As I didn't even realize it had been 45 minutes, until I started my car again. As the clock turns off when I shut the engine off. And I wasn't about to sit there wasting fuel.

 

So before going off and asking questions that have already been answered again; Please start reading up first. It's not like it's that difficult with only 2 pages.

Alright take it easy, not everyone reads all the way through every thread they open lol. I just think it's funny you spent 45 minutes in your car without realizing it had been that long but ay you do you man.

Well, without looking directly at a clock, 'Tempus fugit' (Time Flies).

I guess something like "time flies until you don't have any left"
or "RIP Chef WM's Youtube channel, I was really hyped for it"

Happened to one of my sons at our local Maccas (our name for McDonalds in Australia). The staff (inside order) accidentally deleted the order before filling it and didn't realise until my son queried his order 30 minutes later. He waited that long because he is autistic, so took a while for him to approach the girl at the counter. He had his receipt. The manager stepped in and made it right straight away, even gave him a full refund plus threw in some extra apple pie on top.

 

Mistakes do happen, no point throwing a tantrum at minimum wage workers who are often under a lot of pressure. Note it was in the midday lunch time rush. They were under the pump. Of course, my son being autistic means he would never chuck a tanty over something minor like that. I'm exactly the same.

I remember my retail/food service days. We used to rotate tables on the patio, and I took one...completely forgot they were out there. I got slammed on my section all at once and ooooops left them out there until they ended up leaving. I wasn't a great waitress. lol.
