I'm an Idiot

This morning at put some lentils on the stove to cook (I add them to Maddox's oatmeal). I brought them to a boil and then lowered the temperature to simmer them until they were done. At one point I checked them and they were almost done. I left to go grocery shopping (this is where the idiot part comes in). I opened the door and instantly smelled nasty burning stuff. I burnt my lentils to a crisp. Obviously, I forgot about them and am so thankful nothing caught on fire!!! Currently, I have my entire house opened up trying to get the stink out. Yuck, yuck, yuck. See if I ever leave something on the stove without a timer set again!
