Culinary Catastrophes

Yes, I know the subject is over-dramatic, but never mind. I got started on the cooking without any problems, but it all went wrong when I came to do the rice - it comes in one of those laughably "re-sealable" packets (which maybe re-stick once, but never more, and chances are you rip the packet six ways to Sunday when you first open it) - I pull it down from the cupboard and sure enough it got split when I first opened it and rice goes everywhere. By the time I've actually got the rice on, then cleaned up the mess (under-powered vacuum cleaner etc) the food is done - except that the distraction led me to miss out a vital ingredient that I should have added when I put the rice on. Argh!
