What are you a disaster at?

Larianne

For me, it's cooking. I have my few set dishes that I can make and make well (I make a great lasange!) but if I deviate for that set list of dishes it usually goes bad.

Today I tried to make Beef Pie. It's not that complicated but I couldn't get it right.

Firstly, I didn't brown off the beef pieces properly. They kind of stuck to the pan. But nothing too major.

Then the pastry I bought in the shop was the wrong pastry. I bought filo instead of short crust or puff. Filo is used for desserts I've been told.

So no pastry going over the beef combination. No bother, I'll get some in the shop tomorrow.

I taste the beef and its a little tough so I decide to stew the mixture in a pot to soften it. Only I forget about the pot on the cooker and it now tastes like ashtray. My dog is going to have a nice (slightly smoked) dinner tomorrow.

I've also been known to burn pasta! I just forget I put it on.

So what are you a disaster at?

I've other talents, just not cooking. It does mean I make a great sandwich! :pac:

I was only talking about this yesterday. I get Maths sweats! Someone puts a sum in front of me I immediately go "fuck fuck fuck, how do I do this? fuck ! "

+1 Can barely tell the time on a non digital clock coz numbers confuzle me.

Also a disaster with medication....allergic to codeine, penicillin, iodine, anesthesia and sedation. Add in my asthma and it restricts choice of meds even more.

Am a disaster with money too but since I wont have any for the foreseeable future, that shouldnt be a big problem. :eek:

Cooking. Can be a bit of a disaster sometimes, takes practice...and ehem driving but improving yay! And a bit of disaster with time and forgetting things, walk into things/put my foot in it...but other than that I am disaster free once I don't trip or lose my balance or anything more clumsy more than a disaster freak but do stupid things whether I think ahead or not....but have had calamities but nothing major! Not great with maths/numbers sometimes but good with dates and remembering special dates and occasions like birthdays. Get things mixed up very easily, more so likely to happen if I am on auto pilot. I can be a bit messy/disorganised but can be organised good to plan thing ahead of time but can misinterpretate or judge or estimate things wrongly sometimes.

Making tea. I don't drink it but apparently when I make it it's pure muck!

Selling, in every sense of the word i.e. Selling things to others, selling myself at job interviews, selling myself as a desirable person to be with etc. It stems from a deadly mixture of skepticism (with regard to myself or the things i'm trying to sell) and a kind of self-confidence not that i'll sell stuff but that its not the end of the world if i dont.

Staying calm. If someone says something insulting or does something stupid, I'm liable to flip out and make a swearey shoutey spitty scene out of it.

Edit: Super sibilance!

I used to be the same as a kid. Nowadays I can bottle it but then snap quite dramatically every few years.

Good lad.

At least I contributed to this thread in a meaningful way.

You didn't.

I bet you are a GAA head ready to strike at anybody who dosen't agree with you're little world.

No wonder the GAA so unpopular with loads of people!

Telling Jokes.

I'm just useless at telling jokes. I might hear a really good one, but when I say them they are just not as funny. I might get a few sympathy chuckles of friends, but I usually avoid telling them at all. It really is the way you tell them that makes them funny.

I do make people laugh, but it's either unintentional, or just me retelling a story of something funny that actually happened to me, or me just making jokey or sarcastic comments or observations or suggestions.
If I tell a joke I heard or read before though, it's just tumbleweed.:o

Doing something I have to. If I ever get around to it it'll be a long, long time after it really needed doing.

Finishing things. I'm an awful divil for starting stuff with the best intentions and then not seeing them through to the end.

Taking a nice clean dump.

Invariably I get it wrong, for instance I was a coffee place on the bottom of Dawson St a few days ago when there was severe 'unrest in the south' I hit for the stalls (unisex) and despite my best efforts sludged out a very ragged dump which left the pan like a plasterers bucket.

All I could do was shut the door on leaving,lean over the stall and engage the lock bolt.

God knows what it looked like in a few hours.:o
