Burned my cheap chili so bad the pan went in the trash
Wednesday night I got distracted by a call from my sister and let a pot of pintos scorch beyond saving, that $14 batch of chili for the week turned into a smoke alarm and a ruined saucepan. I ended up eating eggs for dinner and started over with a pressure cooker that afternoon, no soaking needed. Anyone else find those little short cuts only work when you actually stay in the kitchen?

Watching a $14 pot of chili turn into a smoke alarm and a dead saucepan is a special kind of pain, right up there with stepping on a Lego barefoot. My pressure cooker sits there like a loyal dog until I walk away for five minutes, then it just waits to betray me too. Those shortcuts only work if you actually stand there and babysit them, which kind of defeats the whole point of a shortcut. My sister always calls at the worst time too, and somehow she never believes me when I say I have to go save dinner. Eggs for dinner is still a win though, at least you didn't burn those. Next time just put the phone on mute and let her leave a voicemail, the beans will thank you.
