How does a pot burn? It's meant to be on heat for long periods of time

She went back to play on Farmville on Facebook and forgot about it for over half an hour.

ooooooh, that's what I've been seeing everyone on campus playing. I thought it was a bit strange that an RTS-looking game with cartoony graphics was entering the mainstream.

No, I don't have facebook.

Update - she put it on facebook that her "roommate" burned water. When I commented that it was her, she promptly denied it, then realized that she could delete the comments.

And now that a bunch of people know about it, she has temporarily deleted her account.

Fucking awesome

I hate that part of Facebook. It's like you're the dictator of your own little wall. You can skew how people view you just by deleting bad comments.

Why would you even want to have female roommates who you aren't in a relationship with? You get the worst of both worlds--having to deal with their shit all the time and not getting the benefits a relationship would bring.

Why would she post that on facebook anyways? I think shes a little attention whore who isn't too smart.

I've burned water at a pal's many years ago. Jesus, the stink of it never leaves the walls, it's so damn persistent.

To clarify a bit - you boil water untill it's basically vaporized, which results in the last bit of water getting fried on the bottom of the cooking pot. Nasty smell.

It is physically impossible to burn water, and dissolved salt in it won't just "burn" until-after all the water has evaporated and you're cooking in a volcano.

That is the worst kind of cleaning up one has to do. I hate it when people leave a pot with burnt/dried up food stuck to it. Then it has to be left to soak forever.

However, there are a few girls (and guys.) who I've seen carefully and skillfully preparing seafood, vegetables and other yummy things which make the whole corridor smell delicious.

Yesterday, I made a batch of chocolates using melted chocolate, ground nuts and other decorations from scratch. That's the kind of decorative cooking I'm good at and enjoy. (Along with baking bread and making cakes.)

Are you sure it wasn't some froot-loops or old ramen that was stuck under the cooking grill or something? Stuff can often fall in there and burn up as the flames or heat above them start raging.

I think baking deserts can hardly be compared to cooking meals. Baking a desert requires almost no attention. You put your mix together, throw it in the oven, and come back when it's done. Cooking (at least if you do it right) requires attention, and sometimes even spending the whole day in the kitchen if you're preparing for a special occasion.

I find myself consistently annoyed that very few women in Canada know how to cook, and it's something I really like when I find out they do. Not cause of some chauvinistic "I want a woman who'll cook for me" but more of a "I don't want some idiot who eats macaroni noodles everyday cause they're too lazy to learn. Human culture is so centered around food I can't believe everyone doesn't at least get the basics down.

That's an epic generalization about desserts you're making there. For a start chocolate making requires constant attention or you end up with blackened sludge. Also what about more delicate items such as meringues, spun sugar for decorations on elaborate desserts like Croq en bouche, and items which require piping (like decorating basic sponge cakes or inserting fillings such as for profiteroles.) or construction such as a well-made trifle.

Also I'm not sure if you consider it a condiment or part of a dessert menu (if used in an appropriate manner.) but how about producing strudel fillings from scratch or making Jam. Neither of those are just things you can 'throw into an oven.'

I'm not even going to start on shaped items such as certain pastries (apple turnovers etc.) which all require shaping by hand upon an individual level. If you bake from scratch - which I used to do before coming to Korea and finding myself oven-less, that method of chucking everything into a bowl and leaving it to cook is only applicable to a tiny amount of the potential dessert recipies.

I was also surprised by the amount of people of both genders at university who arrived incapable of boiling an egg or making something totally basic such as spaghetti. I suppose it depends upon personal circumstances, but they had to learn quickly or spend a large proportion of their basic student loans on take away/live on sandwiches.

or construction such as a well-made trifle.

You must be joking. Trifle looks amazingly complicated, but when you actually make it, it feels so pathetic. Cake, pudding, whipped cream, sprinkle crushed skor bar, repeat another layer. Looks awesome, tastes great, effortless to make.

Melting chocolate... gimmie a break. Put the burner on low heat and move it around for 4 minutes.

It is way, waaay more work to prepare a good meal. I'm always annoyed when people say "did you make this" when I serve them desert. Of course I made it. Anyone who can follow a recipe can make just about any desert. However, it's pretty easy to screw up most meals, and those skills used are usually taught by a person, not a recipe (which always assume you already have the skills, unlike a baking recipe).

rofl I've never seen anyone be as wrong as this : "I think baking deserts can hardly be compared to cooking meals. Baking a desert requires almost no attention. "

baking a great dessert requires way more attention than creating a great meal. it's a fucking science and you need to be absolutely exact. if you're making a meal it generally doesnt matter if you take 120 grams of something instead of 100, if you're baking a dessert it might matter if you take 105 instead of 100. it might matter if you heat something for 60 instead of 50 seconds. this depends on the dessert, obviously there are easy ones, but some desserts require amazing precision not to get fucked up.
