I am feeling terribly guilty today-spilling milk over

It seems that you are a very serious person. You couldn't allow a mistake. Or maybe your hubby is. Anyway, don't be too hard on yourself. I burned pans and woks several times when I cooked. Sometimes because I was watching TV while cooking, or I forgot that I was boiling something while I worked on the computers. I would only regret it for a while. Accidents do happens...

I think this is a common occurrence in every household. Relax kala. Feeling terrible means that it is a rare occurrence in your house. Lucky you

In fact I did something like this just last week. I had something cooking on the stove and there was to much liquid in the pan so I wanted it to cook down. While waiting I started to read and if my nose, the smell, hadn't warned me the whole pan would have been burned and our dinner with it. It just goes to show even those of us who have been cooking for years can get distracted. Don't be to hard on yourself.

Yah, I did. And regret is useless, but the lesson learned is a good experience. It is always said that, bad experiences teaches us the best lesson in life.

Hiya kalav, Most thing you can get to feel is a bit silly I think that is how you are or really could be feeling. One in my House yesterday spilled milk all over the place in the Kitchen and it was very late at night so I just got up and cleaned it all up. They were fussing much more than me. Now if the Dog makes a real mess breaking things up for me because its outside and its so hot at the moment I can lose my rag a bit. Trouble is if I keep doing that he keeps doing it even more to get my attention so I have to hold myself in check so although milk is not something you would normally spill what I find most annoying about milk is how hard it is to clean up the white marks on the floor it took me four buckets of water to get it all clean not to mention the kitchen top so that for me is a lot of waste really. Please don´t bash yourself up for that us women do this far too often perhaps its something we learn as we grow up I really don´t know. In England we have a saying no use crying over spilled milk. In other words what is done is done although it is annoying. I make lots of mistakes and if I were to blame myself for everything life would not be worth living. Cheer up kalav and take time out for yourself more often and don´t feel bad about it. However that takes practice I can tell you. It has taken me all this time to learn how to sit still and think of myself first although there are so many things to be done. Now I am learning to have a bit of fun lol. xxx

At least you're not seriously hurt, or burnt. And I'm sure you've learned your lesson. :)

My country has a saying "Do not cry over spilled milk". Feeling bad does not change it. You probably had to deal with cleaning up the mess, and if someone goes without, it likely will be you. You have learned an important lesson about paying attention while you cook. You will do better next time.

What do you mean that you decided to pay a penalty?

Innumerable times..lol. It happens, take it easy..lol hugs

You must have heard the famous adage,'To err is humane.'You made a mistake and you have realized and accepted it as well.Such things often happen in our life.Your husband is certainly a mature person.He knows there's no point in crying over a mistake that has been done.Certainly you should not have done that,but now you have realized you have done it.What matters is this realization.Leave it.What has happened has happened.You can't revert it.So take a lesson that you have already taken and forget it.Don't harbor any guilty consciousness.Cheers!

Kala, this kind of incidents are quite common to most of the women. My wife is careful in this sort, she is using induction stove to boil the milk and cook some complicated items. Most of the time she keep the stove in sim while cooking. I too follow this way. Don't worry a lot for this, as you mentioned you don't do this activity again, that's good

It is unnecessary to be guilty just for spilling milk over, which is a common thing often happen in any homes. I often boil water till no water left in kettle. For boiling porridge, my mom even fire the boiler a hole. Now it can not be reused. hehe I need to pay more attention in future when cooking. Can not be careless.

yeah, I do it every time. yesterday i burnt tea. I had put tea on fire and forgot because i was watching TV. after some time i could smell something burning , only the i realized that I had kept tea on stove. I was shivering but I don't know why i forget all the time. I try not to do this in future. Don't worry too much because happens with most of us. have a wonderful day.

There is no perfect scene to commit mistakes, we are not even a perfect creation of God. So, take it as a lesson for you not to do it on next time around.

don't be too harsh to yourself dear, everybody make mistake and most of the time grave mistake. What you've done is a part of being not focus and we cannot focus at all times specially if something is grabbing our attention. We cannot say we can do all things in perfect way with no mistakes because mistakes is part of our lives, as long as you've learned from it and admit than you've done then your good to go. few people are behaving inappropriately towards their own wrong doings but you admit it religiously and that's a good thing for me. Loosen up and don't blame yourself anymore. Have a nice day!!

somehow we makes mistakes right? i do that too..so i guess you should not be hard on yourself too..well i am also that hard on myself sometimes but i try my best to get over it..

I am a very good cook. Yet, some times, when I`m mylotting, I burn potatoes and smell them when the water I used to cook them has evaporated. I just laugh, although I know that it will be difficult for me to clean the pot. I think that you don`t have to feel guilty about it: it`s only some milk.

That always happen to be especially when I am cooking soupy meals. I always cover the pan so that when it boils the soup will spill. I don't know why because the stove heat is at lowest already. That's why my husband told me that to cover the pan too tight.

Dear Kala Why you are taking this so seriously, as if you committed some crime, spilling of milk is so common in almost all homes of indians; well ok next time you put a metallic spoon of big size in the pan you are using to boil; the heat gets conducted and prevents spilling Also you can use an induction heater, there is a setting in such heaters, milk wont spill; hope this helps happy mylotting

Hi aunty. Would it not be better if you used a milk boiler than an ordinary vessel? I know because this happens to me ALL the time!I always stand there and keep watching the vessel but the minute I turn my back on it to do some other work even for a second, it boils over. I really got fed up and finally purchased two milk boilers so that the milk would not boil and spill over. But even now sometimes that happens in milk boilers too when there is not enough water.
