Miscommunication Keeps Life Interesting

Do you ever feel like even when you have everything organized things don’t go as planned?  Well last night poor Brad was the victim of my organization gone bad.  Last night I had plans with a friend to take the dogs and Claire for a walk.  Even though I was planning to be gone I still wanted to still have a nice dinner for Brad.  So while Claire napped in the afternoon I made dinner in a casserole dish, set it in the refrigerator and planned to just throw in the oven after my walk.  Perfect plan I thought!

As I was packing up my dog, Claire, and the stroller to head out for our walk Brad pulled in the driveway, and I mentioned that I would be back in an hour or so and dinner was in the refrigerator.  I failed to mention that it still needed to be baked!  Oops! 

On my way back from our walk, I texted Brad to tell him we were almost home and also said “dinner will be ready in an hour”.  Almost immediately I had a confused husband on the phone asking, “what do you mean dinner will be ready in an hour?  I thought you said it was in the refrigerator!” 

Brad had eaten a large section of the casserole that had raw egg in it thinking it was all ready for him!  In between my laughs I apologized for my miscommunication and asked “weren’t the noodles slimy?”  He said they weren’t too bad, ha-ha!

So when Claire, the dog and I got home we BAKED the remaining dinner and ate it.

So here is the recipe for our dinner last night…and don’t forget the baking step, or communication step! J
