Omg I almost burnt down my kitchen!!

[rubber pants]

I put some pasta on so I would have a bunch for DDs lunch all week. I then went to iron while it was boiling. Then after that I was all "lets clean out my closet while she's asleep". Yea. An hour later I'm like "wtf is that smell!?? It smells like smoke"

I go in the kitchen and there's the pasta, the water boiled out of it a long time ago and it's all black and burnt to the bottom of the pan.

Holy mother of God!!!

Yikes! Glad you're ok. I did something like that once, though it was water for tea. Had to throw away the (formerly nonstick) pan and air out the toxic smoke.

How scary! I'm glad you were able to catch it before I got bad.

Eeeek! I did that a few weeks ago but it was a corned beef in a pot. I had decided to add potatoes and cooked it as long as I normally do but I normally don't add the potatoes so I guess they soaked up all the water. I had to soak the pot in vinegar (it is stainless steel) for 3 days to save it.

I'm glad you caught it in time! So scary!

Yikes!! That is scary!

It also reminds me of when TrudyCampbell did this to her nipple shields. lol

I do this all the time. It is terrible. When I steam vegetables MH now asks me if I remembered to put water in the pot.

I'm glad you figured it out before things got really bad!

Yikes! Good thing it wasn't any worse!
