Due to the fact that Im an idiot....I almost lit my entire apartment building on fire last night! Okay....it could of happened if I didnt come back in time but luckily there fire didnt escape the pot in started in. Heres the story. I was boiling about 3 pounds of chicpeas in a big pot of my stove so I could freeze them and have just a little when I want them. I never had tried making so much at one time but I figured it wouldnt be any different. I know this is a bad idea but I do it all the time..when I left for yoga (1 hour class) I left them on the stovetop simmering at an extremely low heat. I have a gas stovestop. Anyway....by the time I walked into my building I could smell this terrible stench of what I thought was some really foul smelling Korean food from a different apartment and it was smoky. After complaining to myself about the stink I opened my door to come to the realization that it was my apartment that stunk! My entire apartment was filled with smoke and the chicpeas were on fire! I put the fire out and opened all my windows to try to get rid of the smell. There are no smoke detectors so nothing went off. I had just washed all my laundry the night before so all my clean things were terribly stinky again! The whole pot is burned and the chicpeas are like soot in the pot now! Needless to say I couldnt sleep in my house so I stayed at a friends house and left all my windows opened. When I came home this morning the house still stunk and now Im at work and I can just smell this aroma of burned grossness on my clothes : (
At least I didnt catch the building on fire....
