I was thinking back to when I was pregnant and the number of things I forgot to do or let’s just say the biggest possible brain farts possible and they were in the hundreds. I had them all!I had a few doozies during my first pregnancy let me tell you; however there is one that stands out and it’s pretty safe to say I will never live it down. EVER.
I was about 5 months pregnant, was working 10 hours a day 6 days a week as a chef. I was exhausted. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Anyway, one afternoon I was starving – fading away to a thick shadow and so I did what any food deprived hormonal woman would do. I grabbed a frozen pizza out of the freezer and put it into the preheated oven. I impatiently waited 20 minutes before eagerly opening the oven door, at which point I was thrown on my thrown by a burning plastic smell.
Oh wait a second, what the fuck has happened? There is plastic melting everywhere. The smell was something that can only be described as toxic.
Yep that’s right, I had forgotten to remove the black plastic base before cooking the pizza. The smell never left the oven and after a few attempts of using it to cook dinner we soon realised the taste was never going to leave either.
So this baby brain moment was bought to you by a still left hungry and quite embarrassed bulging bellied girl.
What has your most memorable baby brain moment been?
