Well, my wonderful cog fog brain did it again!! I forgot I was cooking and left a pot of oil on the hot burner and it almost caught fire. I realized I left something on the stove when I smelled something burning. I was just trying to make fried cucumbers, and I got a HUGE scare instead. I cant begin to tell you how terrified of cooking I am anymore and tonight is not helping!! This is not the first time Ive done this, but this pot of oil on stove thing happend to me when I was first dx. I did the same thing only that time it did catch on fire. I had to grab my 2 baby girls and the dog and run out of the house to the neighbors. Im really trying to stay on a good healthy diet and not eat any processed foods, but Im telling ya, Im terrified this will happen again and next time we wont be so lucky. If I can put something in the microwave, at least it will ding when its done. Ive tried using a timer when I cook, and find myself not knowing what the heck the timer was set for....

Maybe I should just cash in all my chips and quit cooking... I dont know
