Some of you may have read my Homeschool Journal where I blogged about a big Syrupy Mess? Well, today was my day to make a HUGE mess!!!

Here I am cooking the most delectable barbecue pork… I was cooking a tasty meal for my husband who has been gone for four days. I cooked it in a pressure cooker so that all the flavor would be cooked in and the meat would be tender.

I had popped a nice bottle of Merlot and was enjoying… Everything was done so I decided to cool my cooker with some cold water so I could pop it open. All of a sudden I see this haze and hear this fizzing, spewing sound. It took a second when I finally realized that the rubber valve in the lid blew out… next thing I have barbecue sauce EVERYWHERE — on the ceiling, window, wall, counter tops, floor, and ME! Oh my god… what a terrible mess!

When I finally realized what was happening, I tried to direct the volcanic eruption into the glass window… So the eruption ends and I am dumbfounded, my son comes in laughing his head off! That little rat! BBQ sauce is dripping everywhere… and he’s rolling on the floor laughing at me. I finally put the pot down and threw a sponge at my son and began the clean up.

Both my boys climbed up on the counters and began mopping the ceiling and walls… I started mopping the puddle in the windowsill. It was a mess!!

About an hour later, we enjoyed a beautifully cooked (bbq sauce free) pork with garlic mashed potatoes, some mixed veggies and a bottle of Merlot.

Oh, btw, I am covered too…

I suppose that’s one way to clean the kitchen.

More later…
