First off for all of you following this blog and posting comments, I want to assure you that I have read and do read all comments. I have been very tired to try and send replies but hope to this week.
So it's about 1:45pm the other day and I actually felt hungry. What is easy to make I thought? I know some mashed potatoes, as I love them. I get out a pot put water in it, clean the potatoes put them in the pan with a lid on it and turn the burner on high. All is good.
I go back to lie down in bed and start watching some TV and tell myself I need to check on the potatoes at about 2:05pm.
Time goes by and I am dozing off and on and watching TV. All the sudden my dog Kiya, a german shepard mix, starts barking uncontrollably. It upsets me as she does this from time to time like if she see's a lizard outside she wants to chase, or any noise outside.
I lay in bed for another few minutes getting more upset at her continuious barking. I finally get out of bed to find her about 3 feet from the stove with her nose point right up at the top of the stove. All the sudden my brain kicks in, "Crap the potatoes", I rush to the stove turn off the burner and move the pot, now full of burning potatoes and no water left. I then turn to Kiya and praise her and tell her "Kiya you get the save for the day!!"
Oh by the way by the time I went out and Kiya was barking, it was 3:30pm. That means the pot with the potatoes had been on high for almost 2 full hours. Ok so I learned my lesson, I am no longer cabaple of cooking when my wife is not home. So its microwave or nothing. Thanks Kiya!!
