You know how when someone F's up, it can be very cathartic to lash out at them?
Well, tonight, I was the F-up in my own kitchen. I was cooking some rice to eat with some leftover cabbage, and I turned on the wrong burner...and quickly turned away to talk to my Dad. While the one under the pot remained cold, the burner under the plastic microwave lid heated up, melting it.
A momentary lapse in attention turned a mere oops into something that may result in having to replace the stovetop.
And nobody to blame but myself.
