The worst chore in the kitchen

There is nothing that I like doing in the kitchen except may be trying out new dishes with help from the maid with chopping, washing etc.
Sometimes when the maid turns up late I have to watch the milk boil - the worst chore ever. While I am doing that my mind is on my computer waiting for responses, comments on my myLot activity I rushed today to see if I there were any and when I returned the milk had boiled over
You kow what I mean?

@allknowing I used to not mind, but over the years with working, commuting, etc. it gives you little time to stay organized and do it all. Now, I don't care. We are both retired, so just going with the flow!

I got a step tracker and am currently aiming for 10k steps a day; if I had to watch something boil, I'd walk around the kitchen table so I could get the steps in while staying near the stove. 
But yeah, being somewhere else entirely would be much better in such case!
Yet the worst kitchen chore for me would be cleaning the kitchen, washing dishes comes second.

For me every kind of household chore is a drudgery.

@allknowing It really is, most people seem to give a clean home, clean clothing and good food for granted.

Well the worst chore for me is washing the dishes. Here in the Philippines dishwashing machine is never a trend, and getting my hands wet and to hold such rough sponge is so not good. I don't know if it's just me, but that's what I really feel. I'd rather wash clothes than wash the dishes

May be you can wear gloves. Many I know use gloves while washing dishes.

@Namaco21 May be after washing the dishes you can apply cream on your hands.

@allknowing I tried that, but it's also uncomfortable, I don't really like the texture of rubber nor plastic.
