I decided to boil eggs tonight just to have boil eggs or make some egg salad...I don't know, just wanted them. So at 5:45 I put 6 eggs in a pot and started the water boiling. At 6:45, Tim, the boys and myself, were upstairs in our bedroom getting some quality time in and some "quiet time" in. When we heard a few "pops". Didn't think anything of it. In fact, we thought it was one of the dogs turning over their dog food dish in the laundry room. Then the next pop was louder and Tim said, "Have you been back downstairs since you started boiling the eggs?" "nope...oh crap".
I stayed upstairs with the boys while Tim went down stairs as I hear another "Pop" I just started laughing realizing the eggs were what was popping. "Tim, are those the eggs popping" "yeah, I'll let you come down and see the damage."
So I learned that a few things happen when you boil eggs for an hour on high:1. Obviously all the water boils out
2. The bottom of the pan burns
3. The eggs explode
I only hope I didn't ruin the new stainless steal cookware we just got for our anniversary...sorry mom.

Yikes. Did it smell horribly as well? My college roommate did the same thing with Boston. I thought out third roommate, whose pot it was in, was going to lose her mind.
I do this just about every night w/ dinner.
I have a bad habit of putting things on the stove and then forgetting, but never as bad as this! I am glad nothing caught on fire.
