So I've been on this diet for a while now, and it's working out pretty well. I try to eat 2 hard-boiled egg whites a day to get some protein. Well, I boil them a dozen at a time. So there I am one night boiling some eggs when I go do the 'getting ready for bed' routine. Well, after coming out of the bathroom I just switch off the kitchen light and head to bed.

Well, when I woke up the next morning, I was greeting with this overpowering stench of Burnt Egg. I walk into the kitchen, and there's egg all over the stove. On the stove light above. On my fridge. On my floor. I look up. Covered my ceiling. The pot had about 3 inches of egg ash in it. To sum up: My kitchen, my studio, my clothes, everything smelled like Burnt Egg.

I managed to Febreeze most everything, but that kitchen still smelled like Burnt Egg until I bleached it.

I am now obscenely paranoid whenever I boil eggs, for hopefully obvious reasons...
