This morning I did something I've never done before: burnt my Easy Mac. As most of you know, I eat Easy Mac almost every morning for breakfast. This morning, though, I must have been out of it (although... I was quite awake and not tired.)
I was talking with mom about... something, as she was sewing a button on her pants. I put my Easy Mac in the microwave and got everything ready to make it once it was done. I pulled out the potholders and started to smell something. Mom could smell it too. We both thought something didn't quite smell right; it was like something toasting or burning in the toaster... except I wasn't using the toaster. I sniffed the potholders in case those smelled, and they were not the problem. I then checked by the microwave area and that was definitely the problem. I paused my cooking with 50 seconds left, and opened the door. The culprit was in there, and I then took down my bowl to discover browned, blackened, and charred noodles... with no water. For the first time in my long history of making Easy Mac, I forgot to add the water. I immediately put the bowl outside on the deck. IT. REEKED. Oh my gosh, I didn't know that it could smell that bad. It was worse than burnt popcorn, though I can't quite relate it to anything else.
Later on right before I left dad brought the bowl back in and put my charred macaroni's in a baggie and through it in the trash. After doing that, we could see that I most likely ruined the bowl too. The bottom of the bowl is scarred with brown and black spots, with white areas where noodles were; it's a really
strange pattern, haha.
My cousin Jason did this same thing one time, though his was with one of the microwaveable cups and the cup melted too and left a mark on their microwave. I think his was a little worse, but now we're both in the same boat. But he's 10...
Oh well, first time for everything I suppose.
