Today I went about my business in the kitchen getting things prepped to cook. I turned one the oven to preheat and started doing a few other things. About 5 minutes later I notice an interesting smell (not a good one) and some smoke coming out of the oven. It wasn't a lot of smoke so I thought at first something had spilt on the bottom of the oven that I had not noticed since earlier this week I baked sweet potatoes and they have a tendency to spill over my pan that I place under them if I am not careful. Then there was more smoke so I opened the oven and there was a fire! Something on top of a cookie sheet was fully engulfed. I closed the oven and turned it off but after 4-5 minutes it was still on fire, so I grabbed a pitcher of water and my oven mitt, grabbed the cookie sheet ran out side and doused it with the water. I came back in to ask the kids who did that, the big kids had no idea and then Hannah looks at me with a serious face and says, “Oh no mommy, you broke it, I cooked dinner for you.” She was really bummed that I messed up her surprise dinner for us. Luckily it was just a kitchen towel (she usually wraps her dolls in the kitchen towels). Here is her first and last (for a long time) dinner creation, or well what's left of it.
That's hilarious, you'll have to get her a little easy bake oven or some thing that she can actually bake in but not catch kitchen towels on fire.
ReplyDeleteHaha Now we need to get her watching Great Chefs and Graham Care!! And Bekah still uses her Easy Bake Oven! :P I think she wants to use it to get all her class hours done! :) Say hi to the kids.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED my easy bake oven!!! That's really cute though. I mean the part about the surprise dinner and it being a towel... not so much about the fire. But I'm glad it all turned out all right!
