I need to read directions

Bought a frozen pumpkin pie and left it out so I could have a slice. Turns out it needs to be frozen and than cooked for 70 minutes. What a mess. I think I spent most of my life not reading directions like for me Do Not Drink

((Fitz)) - I only read directions AFTER Isomething doesn't turn out, usually

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I don't take directions well either. (lol) I screwed up so many things, because I just don't listen.

Hey Fitz, I know what that is like. I went through chemo 12 years ago. Kept telling my doctors that this chemo is killing off my brain cells. Burnt 2 tea kettles, and also an electric tea pot. I put that electric tea pot on the stove and cooked it.

Even though a bit overcooked, I hope you enjoyed some of it.

Funny story, Fitz... I probably would have done the exact same thing. Heck, until I read the "what a mess" I was thinking what the big deal could be, lol.

I never set out to be weird. It was always the other people who called me weird.

Maybe it'll balance out. I have tended to be undercooked or overcooked most of my life and I am seeking balance

Did you see that guy a couple years ago, retired from the service, and ate his c ration pound cake from nam? 40+ years old, he had saved it for retirement. Said it was still good. Lol
