my toaster oven caught on fire today. apparantly that’s what happens if you leave toast in too long. the funny thing is that i didn’t put them in any longer than i normally do. when i tried to open the door, flames shot out. my smoke detectors were going crazy (it’s good to test them out every once in a while!), and i couldn’t get the stupid fire extinguisher open. i wasn’t smart enough to use the handy little hose attached to my sink (as joe mentioned after the fact. thanks.), so i threw about three glasses full of water on it, putting out the fire and soaking my kitchen. fabulous.
so now i think my toaster oven is dead. i’m not sure, but it’s drenched and has burn marks all over it. i can’t even look in the window anymore. sigh. what is it with us and fires?
(Please tell me you watch The Office.) Cady started the fire! It was always burning since the world’s been turning! Cady started the fire!
hahahaa…that was so freakin funny. i’m picturing dwight and michael singing that.
Actually, I told you during the fire to use the hose, then you hung up. Just for the record… 🙂
Let me also add with Nanette… “JFK blown away! Cady started the fire!” You’re the fire girl now. Ha!
This is why I don’t use toaster ovens. Somehow, they have too much power for their small size!!
