I Can Burn Water...

Why is it that when I lived at home, I could cook anything and now that I live on my own and my survival depends on it...I burn water?

Last night I was making pancakes and not once, but twice; I burned the pan. Not the pancakes, the pan. Did you know that non-stick pan spray will catch fire? It really does. I just couldn't get the pan the right temp and the spray kept burning. I have no idea how to get that out of the pan now. In my frustrations, I whipped out the waffle iron I thought I would never use.

I am a waffle goddess. Don't believe me? Come here, I'll prove it.
