If you're a working parent, you recognize that some weeks, the bottom just falls out. Maybe your kid started a new sport and you're running him/her to practice right around dinner time. Or you have meetings every other night of the week. This is what happened in our house recently.I was determined to have dinner ready before I left for a meeting Thursday night. I had rice in the Instant Pot and started a chicken at 4:15 to be cooked by 5:45 when my husband got home from work. I knew a friend was picking me up at 5:30 for a meeting, so I told my 14 year old daughter to "turn off the oven when the timer went off" since I wouldn't be home.My husband texted me during my meeting and asked if I was being fed at the meeting or if I'd be eating at home. "Home", I answered. "Chicken and rice for dinner".I got home about 8:15 PM and was famished. He said, "chicken is in the frig, rice is still out". But when I went to get the baked chicken out, I discovered it wasn't there. There was some shredded chicken left from 2 days ago. The only reason I baked a whole chicken was that it had been in my frig a few days and needed to be cooked.I asked, "where's the chicken I baked"? His answer- "what chicken"? Imagine his surprise when I opened the oven door and there was the dutch oven with dinner I had prepped a few hours before. "UGH", I exclaimed, clearly exasperated.Note to self. I need better communication. I should have said, "there is a chicken in the oven that IS FOR DINNER" to my daughter. I should have also told my husband, "I baked a chicken for dinner, it's in the oven". Either way, I ate the chicken. It was delicious.
