One of those weeks

My head has been somewhere else this week. I can't seem to get a thing done, and when it seems that nothing else can contribute to my stress level -- this happens:

You may wonder what this is. This is burnt macaroni and cheese. I haven't burned mac-n-cheese since I was 8 years old. Even then, I don't think it was really burnt. I am not a novice cook, some have even complimented my abilities in the kitchen. This, however, even I could not disguise and feed to the kids. I was trying to do fifty things at once and completely spaced out the burning food on the stove. I had to laugh.

Live and learn. Even an experienced multi-tasker has her days. (p.s. the pot survived the ordeal unscathed. Yay for All-Clad!)
