DH has the annoying habit of asking if cooked food, such as roast chicken, is properly cooked. He usually carves and will say ‘does it look a bit pink to you’?
Tonight we had a Tesco Finest Chicken and Prawn Paella. I asked him to serve up the meal while I did something else. He then said ‘this prawn feels a bit tough’. I tried it and it tasted fine but chewy. I told him I had cooked the paella for the correct amount of time. I then went and found the cover to check that I had done everything properly. Then I noticed it said, stir half way through, which I hadn’t done. We then decided to give it another minute in the microwave and all was well.
I decided to broach the subject of the turkey at Xmas and suggested we bought some device to check the bird was cooked through as I didn’t want the usual old barney of is it or isn’t it cooked. I heard DH mumbling ‘I won’t say a word but I will eat the outside of the bird’. I almost poured the paella over his head ?
We have very few arguments but this is a perennial one. Your suggestions please.
