Okaaay, communication is most effective when it’s 2-way. RIGHT? So what happens when 
communication happens but there’s still a break down? I’m a hungry man and dinner will not be served (at least the dinner that I thought I wanted)
Let me get straight to it.
British put the salmon in the oven to bake. I have no idea for how long but, she came in the kitchen and tasted it and asked me to taste it as soon as I could to see if it tasted done. I did and it needed to bake a bit more so I suggested that we let it bake for about 10 more minutes at 350 degrees (that’s right…I have some cooking skills too).
Somewhere along the way (without my knowledge) she came along and took it out of the oven and set it on top of the stove. As we missed each others paths, I came back in the kitchen to see that the salmon was still on top of the stove and the oven was still on. Naturally, I assume that the oven was on to put the salmon BACK INTO THE STOVE. I proceeded and did so. About 45 minutes later she pulls the salmon out of the stove…and….ummm…I’m sure you can imagine that it wasn’t as juicy as it could’ve been.
So as you can see in the picture above I immediately suggested the alternative (for ME) It was painful to make that trip to Mickey-Ds as I thought about a Big Mac with special sauce blah blah blah and a sesame seed bun, a cheeseburger, large fry a coke and apple pie.
British wasn’t able to have any. She ate steamed broccoli and black beans with rice. You know, she’s watching her figure and what-not. Eating REALLY healthy.
Me on the other hand…well…I eat healthy too ya know…really I do…it’s just…I COULDN’T HELP IT I WAS CRAVING IT!!!
Should I feel guilty? I haven’t had McDonald’s in years!! It was a treat!!!
Okay the truth is I ate the over cooked salmon anyway and I had Mc Donald’s about a month ago. 
Anyway, the point here is Where was the break down in this “effective” communication??
