Ok, so I decide to make dinner for my cousin and his wife. This is the cooking test, she's fabulous at it and I wanted to be perfect. Days starts out bad, as I am sick, and have to leave work early. Then I get up and start cooking...well, apparently oil leaked out and we have a small semi-fire and end up smoking out our apartment..lol.. So we open the windows, get a fan from the front desk and start airing out the place. Jake cleans the oven while I finish puting the food together. It starts clearing out finally only, to have the meat leak cream of mushroom soup into the oven..SMOKE OUT #2... lol..I seriously start laughing...and jake AGAIN cleans the oven..
Finally dinner starts coming along nicely....then the pan falls out of the oven..oil everywhere..more smoke...We fix it and air out the apartment more.. Finally everything turns out perfect and Nick and Angela arrive with only minor haze in the air...
They loved their food and my salmon, pork chops and veggies turn out fabulous. The wine and beer helps us ignore the smoke still lingering... as we enjoy peanut butter cheesecake Angela brought...and our guest even vacuum our place..(cause we don't have one yet)..
A great night full of laughter...what can you do when everything that could go wrong does? Just laugh...cause crying was out of the question as my tear ducts had been smoked dry.
