I laughed out loud when I got to the part about “smoked egg salad!” (Still laughing!) Guess we all can relate to burning food. I can’t seem to heat up a simple can of green peas without boiling them dry and burning them! Thanks for the laugh!

The same thing happened to me a little while ago, but I “only” forgot about the eggs for about 30 minutes while on max. flame and not an enitre hour. They looked excately like in the picture above. There was no pop sound though, but still there was that awfull smell and I threw away all the eggs. (it exactely a dozen) D:
just burned 2 dozen last night. the kids think its funny because i do it 2-3 times a year.
