When Convenience Is Not So Convenient After All

This morning I wanted to make some grains for breakfast and checked the container. 'Stovetop: 10 minutes, Microwave: 3 minutes' Well that was easy. Of course I went for the convenience of the microwave.

Filled a bowl with grains and water. Put timer to three minutes. Walked away. Came back and took out my bowl. The grains in the bowl looked awesome, nicely cooked and yummy.

 

Only...

half of the grains had cooked over the side of the bowl.

And were all over my microwave.

Oops.

Spent quite some time cleaning that up. And learned that next time I'll use a bigger bowl ^^
