This is my entry on this week topic on #weekend Community.
We live in an era were we are doing so many things at a particular time, which easily distract us from what we had in mind to do or what we are doing.Sometimes we can be on our phone,we can be reading a book,be on our computer or watching television, we might even be talking with others, which can easily distract us from what we are doing in the kitchen and it leads to disaster.
In my case, I have burnt food on different occasions and different distractions lead to food getting burnt. Alot of times the Internet is the main source of distraction But I will be writing on sleeping off while cooking which lead to the food been burnt.while living with my parents as the first child and only girl, I ensure there is food for everyone when they get back from work. So it doesn't really matter when I get back from the office I have to make food for the house.
There was an instance I came back late from work, I was tired,hungry and sleepy but I still had work to do and I had to prepare food also to eat. So I started my work on my laptop, so I decided to start cooking on my gas stove and went back to my work while timing my food. Now my mind is on work, food and sleep, LOL.
Well I did not know how or when I slept off but I my mum had to wake me up from my sleep. The food burnt already and pot was badly burnt.
Sometimes phone or reading a novel could be a distraction But sleep is my distraction. So whenever I feel like sleeping I don't cook.
Thank you for reading, see you next time.
