A little excitement

I start dinner a bit early while helping R with her homework. I left it on the stove but turned off the burner. Or so I though. I left the kitchen to read for a little bit before it was time to eat. I started to really smell bad all through the house. Chicken chow mien does not burn well. It stinks. I had turned to burner on high and not off. What a mess. We had roast beef sandwiches for dinner instead. Which weren't that bad, we had fancy hot dog buns from Costco and I heated the roast beef slices, so it was kinda like a french dip, just no dip. I haven't made chow mien in a really long time, I was so looking forward to it all day.
