I'm going to be embarrassed if this turns into a "how not to cook" series.

How not to make penne with butter

1. Put a large quantity of water in your pot and put it on the stove. Turn the heat to high.
2. Start reinstalling Windows on your computer.
3. Gee, it's hot in here. I wonder why it's hot in here. The air conditioner says 82! Is there something wrong with the AC?
4. Why does it smell like marshmallows toasting? Maybe there IS something wrong with the air conditioner! Turn off the air conditioner.
4a. Fail at reinstalling Windows.
5. And now the fire alarm is going off? WTF, why is the fire alarm going off?
6. Oh hey look over there! I have a pot of water boiling.
7. I HAD a pot of water boiling.
8. Darn.
8a. Reinstall Ubuntu.
9. Order pizza.

Yes. Lesson learned.

The really sad thing is that, it being a studio apartment, I wasn't more than a couple of steps away from the stove, with a direct line of sight to it, but that's what comes of trying to install Windows.
