I Suck!

For those of you that know me, you know this about me well....for those of you that don't....I'm not one to follow a recipe. I usually make it up or use a recipe as a guideline. I have never had something not turn out. My odd creations always taste alright if not pretty darn good (if I must say so myself). Until tonight. I started supper at 4:30. I was just going to do a type of goulash with random things thrown into it....sorta like a make-shift casserole. It started with brown rice, which I've made before without a problem. I actually follow the directions for rice. I decided to do it in broth instead of just water. I set the timer for 50 minutes, but checked on it about 40 minutes later. Good thing I did because my rice was stuck to the bottom of my pot. At this point things were still ok. It wasn't burnt, just very brown in some spots but still salvageable. So I proceeded to toss in my random things and let it simmer.....this is where I went wrong. 10 minutes later my rice sunk to the bottom and burnt to a crisp.
Good thing I caught Jon on his way home from work......tonight is Pizza Night! :)
