"It's raining Bean Juice!"

Bean rain!  This is what 3 of my 4 children were laughingly  yelling today as bean juice became a misty volcano and then rained down on my kitchen!  That picture is Ronnie & Anna pointing to the ceiling where evidence of my folly was dripping down.

Let me back up...it is cold here...like single digits cold...so I decided to make a large amount of chili and let it simmer all day.  So...after soaking 2lbs of dried pinto beans overnight, into the pressure cooker they went.  Well...as I usually do, I used the 'quick release' method and removed the jiggler from the pressure cooker...apparently, I had a lot of liquid in there and it spewed all over...looked just like a volcano! LOL  As the jiggler was hot...I was frantically trying to get it back on to stop the explosion while the kids are laughing hysterically!  Ronnie says "We are SO lucky!  I bet we're the only family in the world to have it raining bean juice in our kitchen!"
Sara said " Wow....Meghan and Dad don't know how much fun they miss while they are at work!"....This was before she had to clean the ceiling since she was the only one who could reach.  Fun times, fun times!  LOL

What silly 'unique' to you memories have you made in the kitchen lately?  Blessings!  ~Sue~

Ah, so THIS is what you were taking about! Now, of course, you have an out-of-control moment that turns into a classic story!

Truly hilarious! I remember stories of my gram's encounters with her pressure cooker years ago. My worst mishaps seems to be burning rice, not once, but twice in one day! oops. Trying to use a timer for all my cooking these days as I get distracted very quickly!
