I see...
Slow cooker has low wattage output so takes an hour... Or two... To gradually bring stuff to temperature. So... That adds to the cooking time, considerably...
And now I sort of kind of want to turn it down... But I don't... Becuase i want to see what happens... If I turn it onto 'high' before leaving for 5 hours of class...
Also... I have this mortal terror of burning things. Because when I was little my Mother would scream at me if I ventured into the kitchen when she was doing stuff. She would get upset that I would burn myself or whatever... So I have a mortal terror of burning things... But, of course, really, her worry was that I'd start talking... :-/ And she couldn't concentrate on what she was doing. With her driving, too...
I think...
I told my Mum that I'd been dx'd with Autistic Spectrum. That... Maybe she might want to mention it to the people who are seeing her. She's started seeing people from this new aged care mental health unit they have up at the hospital. I think... Maybe something like this was what was up with her, too. How she couldn't quite function with me (yakity yak yak in case you didn't know) as her kid... When she was (probably) struggling to function with the world... Anyways... If they prick up their ears and take special interest because... That would be good for her. Because... I always had the literal thing. Books and clothes for school. Nutritious food (in some sense) even though unpalatable (in the psychological)... My mother... She did her f*ck*ng best. I see, now. And she loved me. But, uh, incompetent in numerous ways, she was...
Don't get me wrong... I couldn't do what she had to, either. Raise a kid single handedly, I mean. No f*ck*ng way. If I had to... Better job she did. For sure.
