Well, I just got home from almost two weeks of traveling. I was pretty much starving, so I put a pot of water with some pasta in it on the stove and turned on the wrong burner. A few minutes later I discover that I've set the bag of chips that had been sitting on the back burner on fire. :/ My apartment is now filled with smoke, and I still don ( Read more... )

i've had some similar cooking disasters:

*) i left my oven on all day long. when i came home my apartment was really hot!

*) i accidentally put the setting on "broil" and tried to bake pizza. yeah, my smoke alarm went off later, and i got a blackened pizza for my efforts

*) i did what you did, except i caught it in time when i saw that the package of italian sausage i was going to use was smoking

i've also gotten massive diarrhea from trying to make scalloped potatoes and not cooking it properly. hurray!

lol. I think you told me about the first one before.

hey, when exactly are you celebrating your bday? I'm scheduled off the weekend before and the weekend after - Feb 26th -1st and Mar 6th-9th - but not on your actual bday. I can request a couple more days off if you plan on celebrating during the week, but I need to know which way to request.

i'm probably going to celebrate it the weekend before AND after with my friends. i have to work that day and i'll still be in school, so i'll probably just do something with my parents on the day of. but the weekends are PARTY TIME!!!

Oh, you poor thing. I know exactly where you are coming from. Safe to say, this is why I am banned from the kitchen unless I am supervised. But the answer to this? Pizza. The type they deliver. Pizza helps everything!

I ended up just microwaving some ramen and going to bed, but I think I will compile myself a list of places near by that will deliver for when I'm tired. Pizza would have been much simpler. And smelled better.

on the bright side, at least you didn't set the apartment on fire?

This is true. It wasn't even hard to clean up really, I was just sad facing because I was tired.
