Oh no...I got so engrossed doing online tasks when I smelled something. I still ignored it because I thought it was just normal kind of smell,but when I checked what I was cooking, I found out that I had over-over cooked the rice I was cooking. It's totally burned at the bottom and yellow on top. Oh my! Do I have to cook again? I do not have time for that. Have you ever experienced this? I mean, have you accidentally made a mess of something you were doing like ironing or cooking because of your online activities? Do share.

I made a discussion about my own experience last year. I was so highly addicted to mylot, it was all I could think of all day. So when I was washing my hair and putting on some henna treatment wax, I washed it off immediately without leaving it on for the required time. That's because I was too caught up in my thoughts on the topic I was planning to discuss on my lot!

Awww man, burnt rice is hard to clean off the pot. I have never burned something while I was engaged on an online activity but I did left the water running one time. I was filling up the bucket at the toilet, thinking it would take time to fill it up because I made sure that I set the flow of the water from the faucet on low. Well, when I ran back water is overflowing and the shower area is so wet and full of overflowing water.

I cook my rice in the microwave. It's impossible to burn that way. I have a nice plastic bowl with a lid. The lid has a tab to let air out. They sell microwave rice cookers, but my Tupperware bowl works great.

These days it seems I have so much on my mind that I forget everything. I will take something out of the refrigerator, sit it down, leave the room for whatever reason, then come back several minutes later to find the thing I took out still sitting on the counter.
Because of this, I have a timer I set often when I have rice in the cooker or something in the toaster oven so that I don't over cook it.

Yes i experienced to over cook my dish when I am busy working in front of the computer and it really a waste of food and effort and i really regret that incident although I learned my lesson that not to do other activities while cooking because it might happened again. Regarding to the rice, to be honest I can only cook rice with rice cooker without it for sure the rice will over or half cook.

I have also experienced that, I burned almost all of the rice, I burned the buttom of the rice as well I'm cooking, because I was too busy with my latop doing something. We still did ate the rice that was still edible, but the rice that was burnt I don't know what did my mom do with it.
