Come in and laugh at my DH

So for dinner tonight we are having Taco Soup via the Crockpot.  DH is off today, so before I left for work, I asked if he could please put the dinner in the crockpot.   I even went over the recipe with him and made sure he understood it.    The hardest thing he had to do was brown the meat first. Everything else was just dumped into the Pot and mixed together.   Easy peasy.    I even took out all the ingredients and laid them out for him.  

I just got a phone call from DH.   He said "this is the reason you shouldn't leave me alone in the kitchen".    He was doing all fine browning the meat.   After that he is supposed to drain it and then throw it in the Crockpot with all the other ingredients.  Instead while the meat was browning, he opened the can of crushed tomatoes and added them to the meat.  What's funny is that the kids aren't even there to use an excuse to distract him from putting the dinner together.  

I'm sure the dinner will be fine (I hope).  I wonder how the soup will taste since he didn't drain the meat.

    Sounds like my husband...he over thinks things in the kitchen like crazy, and you have to be super specific or he gets lost.

    I bet it will taste really good!

    Reminds me of the time I told him to "Cut the peppers so I can make stuffed peppers for dinner".    I came home and he had certainly cut the peppers.  Into little pieces.   So we had unstuffed peppers for dinner that night.    Now I know to say "Please cut the peppers in half and go no further".

    You sound like me. Last week I got out the crockpot, set all the ingredients on the counter. All DH had to do was dump everything in. I'm sure he'd have done the same as your husband if he actually had to do anything else!

    My husband is the same way.  It kills me.  What part of follow the flipping recipe doesn't he understand?  Secondly, he love to add sh*t to the recipe.  "I added sugar" or "I added _____."  WHY???  I have grown to hate the evenings that I have to ask him to start dinner early or put stuff in the crock pot.  Or better yet, when I have everything laid out (and bought in an effort to save money) and HE DECIDES TO TAKE ALL FIVE OF US TO EAT OUT. 

    Don't get me started on him washing colors and whites together....
