pictures first...
this last picture here is a little smokey... if you couldnt tell.
so, i was going to make a pie for my mom. a banana carmel pie to be exact. i was very excited about it and found this great recipe. the recipe called for one 14 oz can of sweet condensed milk (unopened) to be boiled for 3 hours. yes, unopened. boiled. for 3 hours. so, one hour down i get a text from amanda. "happy hour at dark star" long story short... went to happy hour and left the unopened can of sweet condensed milk boiling knowing that i wouldnt be gone too long. as soon as we pull up to the apartment, amanda calls it. you can smell something burning from outside... and i was just praying i wouldnt open up my apartment to flames. luckily, this was all i found.
i ended up making my mom a pie but it did not involve boiling unopened cans of any kind. and yes, ive learned my lesson. alcohol does not trump leaving the oven on. hahaha.
