1) On day one (last Saturday) I froze whole bananas, unpeeled (which I thawed, salvaged and refroze. peeled, in a freezer bag).
2) On day two I twisted the blender and ended up with a smoothie all over my counter (which I scooped up as much as possible and drank anyway).
Well, yesterday, disaster number 3). Last night I made a large amount of wonderful veggie bean soup, half to put in the fridge and half to freeze. When it was almost finished, I got a phone call. I got sidetracked, and when I went back to the kitchen the soup had started to burn. But again it all worked out. Rather than panic, I removed the pot from the burner. I then used a ladle to ladle out all the soup down to the scorched/stuck part. Thank God I had the presence of mind to resist the urge to try to scrape/stir the bottom when I realized it had stuck. I simply carefully ladled everything out until I got to what had stuck. Fortunately, I must have caught it right away, because the soup was wonderful. There was no scorched taste whatsoever. The pot is still waiting for me in the sink, filled with sudsy water to make it easier to clean.
Hope I can avoid any more disasters for a while. Luckily, so far they've all turned out okay. Have a great evening.
