what an effective appetite suppressant the smell is

Nov 08, 2009 22:32

Good heavens. I just opened my preheating oven and a gigantic fireball FWOOMPed out. Singed off most of the hair on my right arm, left the skin blushing pink, and charred and shriveled the hair it didn't take. Did a nice bit of work on my left arm, too, but nothing as impressive. Jeez. And I all I wanted was to warm up some naan. Does EVERYTHING ( Read more... )

Are you okay???

Startled, more than anything. Well, startled and relieved that I didn't wind up with burnt-in bangs and burnt-off eyebrows. I do have my small vanities, after all.

The ferrets weren't in the kitchen when it happened, so it wasn't panic-inducing. Just appetite-killing and deeply weird to dust off the blackened remains of the hair on my arms and the back of my hand.

O_O But I thought you were DA BOSS, and TOTALLY in control and all that.

Yeah, that smell IS really effective at killing the appetite...

I only extend my claims of being THE BOSS and IN CONTROL to the ferrets. I might have to consider issuing a similar mandate with the appliances, though.

Such a mandate might actually be more effective with the appliances . . . . . ;)

I haven't been posting much, sorry, Kim, but I've been reading -- and being glad that things are going better for you -- 'bout damn time.

Being THE BOSS and IN CONTROL and all, could you please give teh sparkly-brained one a smooch for me?

**hugs**

Hopefully you're okay.

Here's hoping this your only adventure for the week!

I'm fine. Put off my dinner and trying not to scratch my arm, but otherwise fine.

Shit, I'm topped off on adventures for at least the next decade. I just wish the universe would stop ignoring the memo.

*boggle*

Robot Phil says no more adventures for you.

(but we can still douse you if you're singed, right?)

Is it a gas oven? Sounds like your pilot light may have been on the fritz.

Dear lord. Heating up dinner should not be so hazardous! Glad you are largely unscathed!
