A Whimsical Medley – Is my theme for the A to Z Challenge !! Hope you smile today 🙂
*****************
I am notorious for multitasking. But with so many tasks to be completed, what else can one do. So while I am listening to Ellen DeGeneres and typing a new Blogpost, in-between folding clothes I keep an ear out for the Pressure Cooker whistle. In the meantime Potato Paneer is in the making, bubbling on the stove. Although most days I manage without major disaster, there are days when the Paneer would get stuck to the pan, or I publish without proof reading.
I am also notorious for setting off the fire alarm. Since most Indian cooking involves preparing a set like Alif Laila, with smoke and fog and all things blurry, even in cruel winters I used to cook with doors and windows wide open, dressed like an eskimo.
During my hostel days, I used be so lost watching Hannah Monatana that I would lose track of the number of whistles. And then I would have to run to my roommate, hoping that atleast she had kept a tab. Although nothing burnt, ever, but there was a day when I forgot to put water in the pan while trying to boil eggs.
Oh was it me or my roommate. Well, we both were the same – incredibly absent minded.
Along with Claire, Parul and Shalini we have formed an Unconventional Alliance with A to Z co-host Pam Margolis as the ring leader … all set to rock the party.

ha ha! boiling eggs without water was funny 🙂
I have burnt many pans while making tea. I still forget that I have kept tea for brewing. My challenge is losing track of time while relying solely on my sense of smell 😉
haha.. for me, its tv shows. I get lost while cooking cos I will be engrossed in the shows… esp when u have to wait for 10-20 minutes while cooking meat and ur expected to toss n turn it… never happens without it ending up getting burned a bit 🙂

It easy to lose track when you're doing several things at once. Good thing there weren't any real disasters.
My husband (the family cook) has had his share of mishaps. He's ruined pans, burned holes in potholders, and even forgot to turn the stove off once (our son caught it before we had a disaster). By the way, I am so laughing at the Gordon Ramsey illustration.
Please stay out of my kitchen. just kidding! #notkidding
you and your multitasking absentmindedness! 😀 😀
Occasionally I don't get the top pressed down tightly, or close the whistle on the tea kettle, and it steams away until I randomly wander in or it runs out of water and burns the house down. Okay it hasn't burned down yet but has def blown most of my tea water into steam before I realize. If it weren't for whistles and beeps on my appliances, I'd have been burned out years ago.
Haha 😀 I often lose track of the number of whistles too! And may I ask how the eggs turned out?
Hhahaha!!! Boiling eggs without water… I like you <3 <3 <3
I make silly mistakes all the time! And I feel so bad, but I'm not feeling bad when I'm writing about it!
