Argh! Burned 2 pans through not concentrating! What is your favourite recovery method?

Marianne72

I was focussing on a bad review of something that took a lot of effort. I forgot I'd put my dinner on the stove and by the time I remembered the pans were black, food charred - the kitchen full of stinky smoke. I'm surprised the alarm did not go off so must check with the landlord - I think it's a heat not a smoke detector in the kitchen. To recover my balance, I've eaten a dish of crystallised ginger, lowering the level of my goodie jar by nearly a quarter Rolling eyes [oh dear, wry look]. I'm considering making popcorn or chips but trying not to, as my GP wants me to lose weight.. I've put the dishwasher on hoping Fairy 'Skip the Soak' works well.

That aside, what's your favourie method of recovery for something like this? Do you resort to food?

  • I saw a meme - recipe for burned chicken: put it in oven and go to Facebook for 5 minutes. I avoid any multitasking. Even if someone asks me to do something,  especially online. I write it on my waiting list and keep doing my thing. If I would pay the rent while having food on the stove, it could burn, because after doing the money transfer there us a high risk of my attention being swallowed by a captivating article or video about terraforming Mars or Dyson Spheres etc.

    I also avoid "offline" multitasking. If I'm cooking- it's cooking. Washing and cleaning will be next. I'm often so deep in my world that brushing floor and contemplating the structure of the particles of the dust make me deaf to my child crying because she hit.
