I woke up to the smell of burning this morning... hah I say "morning", I didn't get out of bed til midday (cuz I'm a proper student and it's technically still summer). Whilst some people set alarm clocks our flat take it to the next level and set off the entire building's fire alarm system (some days that's the only thing that would get me out of bed). Turns out my flatmate had boiled cremated an egg and forgotten about it. The water had completely evaporated leaving the pan scarred brown externally (it used to be white) and internally remained a flaky, black substance that looked a little like charcoal crystals.
The egg had subsequently exploded and turned to molten ash in the eggpocalyptic panic
(geddit?! egg-pocalypse... yeah okay I'm not funny).

The thing that stunned me most is in the picture at the bottom. You can see the remains of a wooden spoon being engulfed by the black substance. Although it looks shiny at the center it was completely dry. In a weird way I kind of love the crusting edges, the texture of it is just insane and with the flash on my camera it looks almost iridescent. What worried me the most however is that we still don't know what happened to the other end of the spoon...
Mhmm, wow, what an egg-citing story ay? (oh yes, I'm full of puns today) the kitchen may have almost burned down but at least it wasn't my fault for once. Moral of the story? Pay egg-stra attention when cooking, oh and stay in school kids!
(seriously, real life is hard, just don't grow up okay.)
