    Yesterday evening I was just about to continue writing an article for CP, when I thought: Let's cook something for supper, before diving into the code! Soup with noodles and amaranth, yes, that sounds simple and can nearly cook itself while I'm writing. So I filled water and amaranth into pot, put it onto the cooker and left the kitchen... About two hours later I had forgotten all about food. As I left my computer to go to the bathroom, a strange smell of smoke tickled my nose. I wondered where the strange smell came from and for a second I thought it might have come from the hall through the closed door. But then the harddisk in my head started to work ... SCREAM!!!! I took a deep breath, ran into the kitchen (which was a single grey cloud), turned off the cooker and opened the window. Then I ran back into the living room to continue breathing. the kitchen was nothing but smoke, the hall began to stink as well. Well, it's really not the first time I forget my food on the cooker. So I calmed down quickly and started coding again. When the smoke in the kitchen had cleared a little, I returned to check the smell. It didn't get any better. Again, the rarely used parts of my brain started working ... of course, there's more and more smell coming out of the pot! So I put the pot out onto the terrace. Out there in the night, in cool fresh air and this winter's first snow (yes, last night I saw the first snowflakes fall!), I could take a closer look at the thing. There were black marks all over the lid, the plastik knob on top of it had little blisters. Damn it, my only small pot had experienced some kind of meltdown! As I said before, it wasn't the first time my food burned whil I was writing or coding. I happend quite often since last year. Until a year ago, I hadn't had a kitchen and the cooker had been standing in my living room, together with the computer... Well, it was just another coding night without supper. But it was the first time there was thick smoke in my apartment and also the first time I destroyed the kitchen hardware. Someday I'll starve (in the morning my "body mass index" was 18.1, I can't afford getting any thinner) or I'll burn inside my apartment and my gravestone will say: Died of C# overdose and CodeProject addiction. Anyway, I think I'll finish the article next weekend. :) Have a nice day (and cold food) coco

    Reminds me of the time my mother was steaming some vegetable and the steamer pot exploded! Good thing is she was away from the explosion and the force of, bad thing was it cracked our stove's top, and the kitchen walls, roof and cupboards were covered with vegetables! The ironic thing was the pot was clean however... Anyways the above probably tells you I'm living with my parents (when I get an actual secure job that doesn't bore me I'll move), but when I think of it my diet will be just BREAD. Bread and butter for bfast, bread and peanut butter for lunch and dinner. I should thank you actually, I've now realized all I need in my kitchen is a toaster, and a fridge for the butter :laugh:

        Yikes! My mom had a gasket fail in her pressure cooker and squirt scalding bean spray all over the place, but nothing nearly as spectacular what happened to yours.

            I admit to being concerned, but it's not a big worry. Heck, I'd cook for her any day and every day.

                This happens sometimes. I burned a pot at least once. ;) Nowadays I mostly forget about my tea and when I come back to take it it looks like coffee. :/ I don't have to add that near the cup's bottom it tastes awful. I learned to use a timer on my mobile to remind me when the tea's ready.

                        Amaranth is a grain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain ^ "Amaranth has been cultivated as a grain for 8,000 years. The yield of grain amaranth is comparable to rice or maize. It was a staple food of the Aztecs, and was used as an integral part of Aztec religious ceremonies. Its cultivation was banned by the conquistadores in 1516. Because the plant has continued to grow as a weed since that time, its genetic base has been largely maintained. Research on grain amaranth began in the US in the 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, a few thousand acres were being cultivated. Much of the grain currently grown is sold in health food shops." I tastes great with other grains or with noodles. The only thing I dislike about amaranth is that is has to soak in warm water for 30 minutes before you can cook the rest of the meal. -- modified at 5:05 Friday 16th November, 2007

                          Naw, I would have just cooked some chili for her. "Don't worry, Hon, finish your article, I'll have dinner on the table in another hour and everything cleaned up and defumigated. You just finish up and I'll knock gently at the door and remind you dinner is ready." After all, any excuse is a good reason for chili. Global Warming? lets eat some chili. Ice Age coming? lets eat some chili. Recession? Depression? Lets eat some chili. Earthquake? Plague? Flaming Hail? Seventh Seal is opened? time for Chili!! But I am taken.... hmmmm by someone who thinks pepper is hot.... hmmmm.... oh well, it happens. :-D At least she encourages me to have some chili from time to time, this is a very good thing. Life without chili is very cold....

                            Emmmm, perhaps a smoke alarm for Christmas is in order ... We'd hate to see anything happen to you Corinna, then who would tell us how to go about embedding data into the molecular structure of a Quark??? ;)

                              I know why I never cook beans... Usually it's pasta. Burnt wheat doesn't smell that bad.

                                Yesterday evening I was just about to continue writing an article for CP, when I thought: Let's cook something for supper, before diving into the code! Soup with noodles and amaranth, yes, that sounds simple and can nearly cook itself while I'm writing. So I filled water and amaranth into pot, put it onto the cooker and left the kitchen... About two hours later I had forgotten all about food. As I left my computer to go to the bathroom, a strange smell of smoke tickled my nose. I wondered where the strange smell came from and for a second I thought it might have come from the hall through the closed door. But then the harddisk in my head started to work ... SCREAM!!!! I took a deep breath, ran into the kitchen (which was a single grey cloud), turned off the cooker and opened the window. Then I ran back into the living room to continue breathing. the kitchen was nothing but smoke, the hall began to stink as well. Well, it's really not the first time I forget my food on the cooker. So I calmed down quickly and started coding again. When the smoke in the kitchen had cleared a little, I returned to check the smell. It didn't get any better. Again, the rarely used parts of my brain started working ... of course, there's more and more smell coming out of the pot! So I put the pot out onto the terrace. Out there in the night, in cool fresh air and this winter's first snow (yes, last night I saw the first snowflakes fall!), I could take a closer look at the thing. There were black marks all over the lid, the plastik knob on top of it had little blisters. Damn it, my only small pot had experienced some kind of meltdown! As I said before, it wasn't the first time my food burned whil I was writing or coding. I happend quite often since last year. Until a year ago, I hadn't had a kitchen and the cooker had been standing in my living room, together with the computer... Well, it was just another coding night without supper. But it was the first time there was thick smoke in my apartment and also the first time I destroyed the kitchen hardware. Someday I'll starve (in the morning my "body mass index" was 18.1, I can't afford getting any thinner) or I'll burn inside my apartment and my gravestone will say: Died of C# overdose and CodeProject addiction. Anyway, I think I'll finish the article next weekend. :) Have a nice day (and cold food) coco

                                  Amaranth is a grain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain ^ "Amaranth has been cultivated as a grain for 8,000 years. The yield of grain amaranth is comparable to rice or maize. It was a staple food of the Aztecs, and was used as an integral part of Aztec religious ceremonies. Its cultivation was banned by the conquistadores in 1516. Because the plant has continued to grow as a weed since that time, its genetic base has been largely maintained. Research on grain amaranth began in the US in the 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, a few thousand acres were being cultivated. Much of the grain currently grown is sold in health food shops." I tastes great with other grains or with noodles. The only thing I dislike about amaranth is that is has to soak in warm water for 30 minutes before you can cook the rest of the meal. -- modified at 5:05 Friday 16th November, 2007

                                  Oh, OK. I guess the grain comes from the flower then ? I'd not heard of it, but I'm more of a meat and potatoes guy, the only grain we eat here is rice. I haven't been to a health food shop since I flat shared with a vegan in the late 80s. Yeah, my cooking plans are sufficiently ad hoc that a 30 minute wait would be a deal breaker for me.

                                        Only potatoes and rice would become a little boring over the years. I tried several exotic grains I could find at our three local health shops. My first favorite is amaranth, my second favorite is quinoa ^. I also tried millet ^, but it tastes like wet sand and I can't understand why my birds like it.
