Water

What you see there is the bottom of the pot. What was in the pot before it got to be this way was water. Just water. Tap water. See, I accidentally left it on the burner and forgot about it until all the water was gone. And this.... this horrible sight is what I found at the bottom of my pot. It makes me a little sick to think that this is what we're drinking, brushing our teeth with, and bathing in. I never really used our brita water pitcher until now... but I have a feeling it is about to be my new best friend.

Also, since I live in Louisiana, I'd be remiss in not telling you all-- Happy Mardi Gras!
