Foods I’ve Burnt As An Online Entrepreneur

When cooking is not the first priority

You would think after years of working online I would have learned not to cook whilst working.

If you are working from home and if you have a head full of creative ideas that never stop, then I am sure you can relate to what I am sharing.

I find it quite amusing, yet not all in the house share this attitude, haha!

Here are the classics:

I am sure I am leaving some out, I’ll add as I go

Popcorn — I just can’t do popcorn.

I have burned them in a pot. I have burnt them in the bag [don’t know why I don’t time it] — it was so bad the entire microwave was stained.

I have since stopped eating popcorn.

Chicken — Once I left the chicken in a pot, boiling away.

It was step one of my great idea to make a chicken stew with vegetables which I could portion up into meals for a couple of days.

I went back to my desk and sometime later I was hearing a sound like water dripping on the bathroom window.

I thought someone was hosing down the window.

Meanwhile, it was my chicken burn-bubbling away.

Oatmeal — trusty quick porridge.

Keeps you going for hours. Forget saving this one once it’s burnt. Permeates the entire pot.

Boiled eggs

All water is gone and eggs had almost exploded. You just smell burnt pot.

I like my boiled eggs medium. I know I have a bad day if I mess up my eggs.

Espresso coffee

I know this is a drink, but I thought I’d add it here as my entrepreneur day diet is clearly limited.

During my years of traveling in Italy, France, and Spain I mostly had to make coffee with a Bialetti Espresso Maker, like the one in the image above. I actually met the owner’s daughter once in France and was gifted my own Bialetti.

Recipe for disaster as the coffee maker starts boiling over.

This happened a number of times, yet if you can keep an ear out, there’s usually warning sounds.

Conclusion

Rather stay away from cooking while you are working.

Or best set a timer on your phone [never thought of that until now].

Would love to know if you have burnt some food yourself?!
