Let’s play…

You may have to think for a moment but it (probably) won’t hurt.

Here’s what makes me see red –

I’m cooking, carefully following a recipe and laying out all my ingredients… only to discover that the 12 ounce can/bag/box of whatever I need is now 10 ounces due to shrinkflation and I need to make another run to the grocery store to pick up another full can/bag/box of whatever it is I need to get that missing 2 ounces.

Grrr.

Pay more/get less drives me insane. Add the damn .40 cents to the price and give me a full portion of the product so I don’t have to buy 2 and end up wasting most of the second.

Okay, that’s my kitchen rager. How about you?

What makes you crazy in the kitchen.

      1. I’m pretty sure my current dish pile is, literally, over a year old… chronic pain has non-body complications! Awhile back, I threw away a lot of dirty dishes and it’s time to let go of the reet of them!!

  2. I don’t think I have kitchen rage at all – besides having to be there in the first place. When I am cooking I don’t like other people in the kitchen – When I had a large eat-in kitchen I hated when people would hover while I cooked…(I don’t like to have dishes left in the sink overnight but don’t care if they are in the drainer, my husband was the opposite – so sink/and dish drainer were always clear.)

    2. I actually did put a knife to someone’s throat when they invaded my kitchen – but then I’m Southern Italian – we like our knives…(It wasn’t because they were in the kitchen per se but still – don’t annoy an Italian with a knife in their hands…)

  4. When someone stores a small amount of food (like a couple of spoonfuls) in the largest Tupperware container they can find. Then proceeds to put it in the fridge 😡. Of course then my fridge is overcrowded with all kinds of containers when it should be nice and organized, ugh.

  5. If I see a recipe I like, I’ll follow it pretty closely the first time or two and then I’m winging it. Each of these methods has one very important thing in common: You have to be able to focus. “Can you come in here for a minute?” easily turns into four or five minutes and some burning smell or sizzling boiled over sauce that’s going to add an extra fifteen minutes to the cleanup, as well as general discontent with the quality of the meal. I guess the things that get my goat in the kitchen really aren’t in the kitchen.
    I struggle with issues of focus and concentration in all areas of my life. It’s more a matter of distraction management than anything else, and I don’t expect any help from the grocery shopping public.

  9. My wife writes inspiring words of wisdom on paper and then wraps it around a Hetshey kiss and staples it shut. That’s all fine and dandy but she a habit of opening these near the cutting board, prep area and more than once I have nearly swallowed a staple 😡

    1. I suggest glue dots. They’ll hold the paper in place and, if you eat one, it will just be a little chewy instead of puncturing your gums. Put a pack in the junk drawer where the stapler used to be. 🫡

  10. Living in an RV we don’t have a big kitchen so what really grinds my gears is when someone (probably not the dogs) puts non-kitchen related items on the counter such as hairbrushes, make-up, clothes, and other items of the same ilk.

  12. When my husband can’t find an open container of something in the fridge, he goes to the pantry and gets another – which results in several open bottles of salsa or mayo or whatever in the fridge. We don’t eat that much and so I end up throwing out food totally unnecessarily if someone REALLY looked!
