Chicken Dad

It is not often I get to take over in the kitchen.  Usually I am told "It is not your domain. You will just end up burning something." Well that is apart from when I am baking.

Well yesterday I was not baking but cooking.  I was cooking up some fried chicken, healthy fried chicken under the grill.

All was planned so nicely.  My dear wife had marinated the chicken for me and left me to get on with things.

So we have chicken, egg and seasoned powder for the chicken.  All so good so far.

I even put all the ingredients together correctly, what more could you ask for?!  Look at that! Tasty and I have not even cooked it yet.

Well it seems I put on some oil to heat up under the grill and it heated up a bit too much, to the point that it started burning and made the kitchen rather smokey, errr.... VERY smokey.

I got it all sorted out but the words came floating from the lounge, "Hun, what are you burning! That is why I do not let you cook in the kitchen"  :0

Now, though just look at the results.  They were very tasty and kids want me to make them again.  Result!

Eat up  :)

Empty. Nothing.

"Noooooooo!" That was my response on finding out our laptop was dead. I was there thinking, what have we not backed up?
No reason for me not to backup, as we have a home NAS and use dropbox.
Still though, lost a couple months of photos :(

Had to get a new hard drive, install it and reinstall operating system.
Let this be a reminder to you! Backup!
