I Got Fired.....

[Ron]

...well, I will when my wife founds out about it.
My wife is coming home about nine o'clock tonight & I get to cook.
I ask my wife, "what should I feed them?"
She replies, "food!"

I think she didn't finish school!

Nevertheless, I am going to cook--"Hamburger Helper!"
The patron saint of Bachelors & Dad's that don't cook!

Anyways, I brown up the Hamburger add the seasoning water & milk, bring to a boil while stirring, then bring the heat down to a simmer & let it sit for a bit while stirring occasionally.

I yell, "Soooeeeee, I mean, kids dinner is served!"

Meanwhile, I say to myself, "man this is pretty thin, it is like soup!"

A light bulb goes off & I am saying, "ya didn't put the noodles in dummy!"

Thank goodness my kids have a sense of humour!

I am not so sure about my wife unit!

I absolutely HATE hamburger helper. Nasty stuff.

I have never eaten Hamburger Helper and have no desire to either.

Well, I really don't know what to say. Except maybe, boy you should have tried something simple like, um I dunno, maybe............soup.

It's unbelievably salty. I call it "Heart Attack in a Box."

I like the HH with rice, not noodles. YUCK!

[Sherri]

Eddie refuses to eat any main dish that comes from a box. I actually like some of it, but never fix it.

[Sherri]

AND - P.S. - thanks for scaring us all by thinking you lost your job!!!! I was feeling all sorry for you right here at Christmas time.

[Ron]

My wife just shook her head & laughed, I think she is used to it!


BTW Sherri, sorry for giving misleading signals, I just thought the thread title would get people to read it--it did!

[Sam]

I used to fix Hamburger Helper once in a while for our kids when my wife was away. I actually like a couple of different kinds of it but we haven't had it for many, many years.
