Meh.... Slept like shit despite spending a goodly portion of the day skiing myself silly. Wife has decided not to return as a full time teacher next year and that has been the source of some consternation. We don't need the money, but it sure helps take the edge off. *le sigh* I guess we'll see where it goes from here.



Holy balls. Monarch got 4" last night. So much for "slight chance of light accumulation". :mad:
Tell her that you decided not to return to being a full time aero grease monkey.

I do, you're supposed to cover it and/or use baking powder/soda, don't remember which one.
i've told this story before, but back when my sister and i were both in high school, we got home from school one day and she decided to make popcorn on the stove. someone called her and she forgot about the pot of butter (she hadn't put the corn in yet). i was in my room putting on music and she runs in freaking out that there's a fire. i go into the kitchen, observe the fire (flames to the ceiling!) promptly grab the fire extinguisher and put it out. i told her she better have the mess cleaned up before our parents got home.

That sounds intense. Luckly, i have never managed to start a fire i didn't mean too. But i have had the FD tell me that i needed to make one smaller because it was huge.

I have a similar story with the toaster oven. and my wife. not sure what she did, but it caught fire. she was freaking out, screaming, looking for the fire extinguisher. I came downstairs, observed the flames coming out of the oven, and licking the cabinets. I thought about it a couple of seconds, unplugged it, grabbed some oven mitts, brought it outside and let it burn out on the sidewalk. she was very impressed with my calm demeanour and cool level-headedness. I scored a few brownie points on that day. :brows:

Microwaving a bagel for about 6 minutes will cause it to smolder and emit massive amounts of noxious smoke, with little to no risk of an actual fire. Pretty handy for those times where you need a good excuse to leave work.

Handles with an oven mitt, a burning bagel is a lot of fun to throw into someone's open window.
