Day 56

How many kitchen mishaps can a PCPr have in one day?

I just got back from a relaxing weekend at home (yeah, I know I go home a lot for someone about to graduate, but there's a relaxation factor I get at home that cannot be undervalued) and decided to start prepping all my veggies and eggs for the week. So I cut up my bell peppers and onions and started steaming. I went to my room to start some homework, and 13 minutes later, I smelled something funny and realized it was the veggies! They were burning! So now that pot is ruined. I mean, it'll still be usable and we're in college so we'll still use it, but it won't ever return to it's pre-burn shiny glory :(

After about 15 minutes scrubbing that pot as clean as I could, I decided to boil some eggs. Well when I checked on them 12 minutes later, 2 of the eggs had cracked, leaving a big white puffy mess all over the pot. So I sadly had to throw those two eggs away and spend another 5 minutes cleaning the pot again!

And I also realized I forgot to bring back all the shrimp that my mom had bought me just for PCP. 3 lbs of shrimp still back at home, sitting in the freezer. I'm pretty disappointed about that.

So how many kitchen mishaps can a PCPr have in one day? Well, I've had two and a half so far, but I haven't even attempted making dinner yet.....

At least I had my indulgence over the weekend. On Saturday, I bought some Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, the best flavor in my opinion. Basically crack for any chocolate lover. It was delicious, beyond amazing. I wish I could say I rationed it out, eating it throughout the day, but I ate the whole caloric alloted amount in one sitting. I mean, I tried to eat slowly and appreciate each bite, but before I knew it, I was almost halfway through the pint and it was time to stop. I probably had too much in one sitting, because I did feel a little sick afterwards, but the feeling went away pretty quickly. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth for a while; I think I'll be just fine until the next indulgence!
