16 eggs
yup, that's the number of eggs i've burned! you read it right, i have the ability to burn boiled eggs!!! grrr!!! and not once, but twice... it's actually 8 eggs per batch. it all started two weeks ago, when i was cooking adobo, i was already simmering the dish - turned off the electric stove, and left it there - when i decided to boil some eggs to add to the dish. at first i wanted to just boil 4 eggs, but then adobo gets tastier as time goes by (... hehehe, ewan ko ba kung bakit, baka parang wine, pag nag-e-age eh it gets better!), so i prepared to cook 4 more eggs. set it up, put the eggs in water, and turned the stove in high heat... and then left it to boil and planned to come back after, say, 5 minutes to turn off the heat. but that part, i missed! so after probably 30 minutes, while i was busy with other things... i heard popping sounds, i just ignored it coz i thought it was just the wind and the curtain, and then there was an aroma that filled the house... it wasn't bad at all, it actually smelled like popcorn so i still didn't panic, and no bell rang, just thought it could probably be the neighbor's lunch. and then, all of a sudden, it hit me! i totally forgot about the eggs!!! so, there, i wasted eggs, water and electricity! and that doesn't stop there.... it happened again today, with the same number of eggs. i hope it doesn't happen again, i pity those 16 eggs whose lives ended in a very unfortunate way...
