Easy!!
Just prepare it, have a bit of a taster, look forward to the rest in the evening and then LET IT SIMMER FOR 3 HOURS WITH A LID ON WITHOUT REALISING IT.
By the time I finally thought 'gosh something smells funny' it had developed a few milimiter deep burnt crust and the rest had gone just dry. Pfff.....
It happens so often these days... and there are many excuses like 'the sun shone so bright so I couldn't see that the gas was still on' or 'I am doing too many things at once' and even though that is all true and valid....
.... I remember so clearly when I was a child that my family was talking about a poor old aunt who was getting more and more forgetful that they thought they had to put her into an old peoples home. I clearly hear one of my aunts say 'yes, it is really bad, she even forgot to turn off the gas and that is so dangerous, she could have hurt herself!'
Oh dear... I am so glad my child and other family are too far away to realise my decline :-D

Lol, reminds me of the time I had potatoes boiling on the stove, a roast in the oven and just sat down on the couch for a wee rest.
Well, waking up two hours later the potatoes had firmly merged with the pot and the roast, the beautiful roast ... too cruel to go into details really :)
