Not So Put Together Truth #2

As promised here is Truth #2.


Not So Put Together Truth #2:

Yesterday I made a delicious lunch, while talking to my mom on the phone.  Maybe that was my problem... maybe I was just so hungry.  Who knows.  Either way, after sautee - ing (because that sounds better than  "frying") two beautiful pieces of tilapia in my non-stick Pampered Chef 10 in skillet.  I ate my delicious tilapia.  Yes, I smelled something burning.  No, I did not really think anything of it.  About 5-10 minutes later, after delicious lunch was fully consumed and sitting peacefully in my belly... I looked over and noticed....  I left the burner on - HIGH - with nothing in the skillet.   I ruined my rather expensive Pampered Chef skillet and toxic burnt teflon fumes now filled my house.  

It took all afternoon with all the windows open and fans on (and it was a chilly day yesterday) and throwing away the pan to get the smell out of my house.   

Anything you've done lately that might kill a parrot?
