Make sure you heat it enough to kill Campylobacter and Escherichia coli.

Anything left cooking on the stove should be watched. It isn't as simple a matter as "Cook on 2 for 97.3 seconds". You have to observe what's going on and decide for yourself when it's done.
Baking and roasting are different, because the heat is more controlled and done-ness can be determined by a rough approximation of "mass x heat x time". Even then, there are enough additional variables to require the cook's own judgment.
Microwaving prepared meals is the only way to get consistent results. |
Yeah, I know that now. From now on I'm microwaving bacon.  |
Bacon - funny. Good directions, Fnord.
It's taken me 52 years to come to terms with bacon. I like it but it's not the funnest thing to cook. It spatters, gets my face all oily and sometimes my clothes and I don't like the clean up. Now, I fry up an entire pound at a time, keep it in the fridge and use it in sandwiches, eggs and salads. It lasts me about three weeks. I do it on a Sunday morning with my headphones on and take my time.

- Doing strategic planning as part of upper management in the company.

I have to disagree with that as someone with a background in strategic management. Strategic planning is one part of the strategical change process. Strategic planning is not the sole domain of profit making organisations, there also used in the public sector and by non for profit organisations. Strategic planning is not the sole domain of upper management, strategic planning analysis tools can be used in all areas of an organisation plus strategical knowledge in both lower and middle management levels helps with understanding an organisation's Vision and/or Mission statements. Also strategic planning and its tools are a great help to entrepreneurs for creating business plans for there start ups.
Also knowledge of strategic management can help to fast track with promotions, I know of a few part time university students I studied strategy with that got managerial promotions months after studying the subject

Sorry I quite don't understand, what specific detail do you what?
Or did you mean, what is strategic management?

A civil servant pointed out errors in the long term changes of his department to his line manager three months later he end up get promoted and became the boss to his old line manger.
An IT project manager reviewed his company's IT strategy as part of coursework for university after about four months he became IT director of that firm
An social enterprise project coordination looked into how to improve awareness & promotion of the small charity she works for, with in the space of six months she founded the charity's strategy department became its head & she also became a member of the charity's broad of trustees.
As for myself my strategy coursework in which I did management consulting for a SME a friend of my mine is a director of, helped to increase the company's market share by 20% & there turnover by a 1/4 million pound over a period of three years, plus I done voluntary work helping local two charities change there IT strategy.

| Back to bacon: Oven, 400 deg F. Bacon on a rack (a cooking rack, not just the oven rack) over a cookie sheet (to catch the grease). Twenty minutes in the oven, don't need to turn it, perfect bacon each and every time. |

Really annoying (how she is being in the OP).
However she is probably telling you almost the same as she was told. It's what people do.
It's good of you to put up with it. Now I see you told her to cut some of it out. That's ok.
Some of it could come in handy someday. I would try and learn some of the better useful parts. Most people when they get older start to want recipes, particularly the older and less common ones from their grandmother's grandmother. It doesn't hurt to start learning them.
I wish either of my parents or other relatives would have taught me. Grandparents and other relatives had little opportunity and I would have resisted in all likelihood, but my life is worse because of it. Being taught basic skills at the youngest age is best. I'm sure by now you do have most of the ones you need. I am just sharing my own experience. |

I can cook and clean at a basic level, I'm just not as good at it as they are. Mom and grandma have had more time to do it so of course they're better at it. My bf thinks I clean just fine and am a good cook so I guess that's what matters.  |

You're absolutely right about that, Erisad. Whatever you do, if you do it long enough, will become almost organic. In my opinion, if you can feed yourself and you're still alive, you can cook.
My mother had 6 kids after me. My older sister taught me to cook by putting me to work helping her prepare the family meals. We all pitched in to run the household as we became old enough. Anything fancy I can do, I taught myself. It's not hard to follow a recipe. I tend to think that anything a woman can do, another woman can do. Except Martha. She's unreal. The instructions are all in a book or online someplace.
Can your bf cook and clean?
Does he?

Good enough. 
He can do the laundry, wash dishes and cook pasta, salad, sandwiches, and anything that requires a microwave. He'll survive and be able to help me out. |

To Erisad,
I wish someone had told me the basics, my first serious boyfriend taught me how to shop & cook, told me bleach is for cleaning toilets and that the fire won't light if you don't clear the ashes.
Basic stuff would have been good to know, but your mum sounds like shes training you out of being an aspie (well trying). She is giving you the message that there is only one "right" way of being an acceptable woman. What a load of bull.
Don't think you are any less of a person for not automatically being what she sees as ideal. This is way more about her than about you. Domestic godesses are long out of fashion.
My parents were reasonably accepting of me as a person but they never tried to teach or influnce me in any way.
There is a happy medium. Somewhere between indifference and controlling.
I get my kids to help out, they learn how to do housework in the process, but I have never told them their future happiness will depend on it! WTF Don't believe her. Theres another agenda going on there. |

Most likely. Oh well. I do need practice with grilling and cleaning some stuff. I do okay though. My bf loves the enchiladas I make. XD
Trust me, I'm nowhere near her ideal woman so she's going to have to deal with it. >.< |
