My dad's baco
My dad's bacon
Hey, everybody! So, this morning, after I watched the Casper movie, I prepared some hash browns for lunch and went to do some stuff while they cooked. So then my mom says, "____, your bacon is on fire," with a tone as cool as a cucumber, and my dad walks in, opens the oven, where his bacon is cookin', and it is LITERALLY ON FIRE! I mean, like, blazing! And my dad tries to like, wave the flames away, and my mom says to put a pot lid over it.
Dad puts the lid my mom handed him and keeps it there for a bit while standing there in the kitchen holding the baking pan, and then takes the lid off, and there's still one small flame there. He waves it out, and I'm like, "So what are you going to do with the bacon?" And Mom says he can eat the half of it that isn't burned, cause only about half has been reduced to bacony ash by the fire. So then he separates the burnt half from the nonburnt half and then we continue going about our business and then eat our lunches.
Anyone else had interesting experiences with food?
I know of a three-year-old who was left alone in the kitchen for a few minutes. He pushed a chair up to the toaster, climbed up on it, broke pieces of bread into the toaster, and pushed the Toast button. When Mom came back into the kitchen, flames were shooting up high out of the toaster, and the child was smiling with glee at his creation. Mom grabbed a box of baking soda and quickly extinguished the flames.
Morals: never leave child unattended in the kitchen and keep the toaster unplugged.

Ahah! Fire, yay!
I don't really have amazing adventures with food, although I did just find a can of salsa in the refrigerator. This is the really really spicy kind of salsa, the ones that the manufacturers put warning labels on. So I open it because salsa is good on eggs and I'm fairly inured to spicy food (except horseradish. I can't stand the stuff.) and when I do, this little teeny seed flies out and lands just below my eye.
AND I FLIP OUT. Mouth is okay with spicy things, but I like my eyes clear. Luckily I suffer no lasting damage but I'm a little worried that I'll accidentally rub my eye.
But it's really good salsa.
Yava just swore at me!

My brother caught a cheesy tortilla on fire once; he was trying to make a quesadilla but he put the tortilla in the toaster so it caught on fire. It was hilarious.

Admin: Nay.

I always burn kilbsa when I try to fry it.
Cappie says "rcye" Cappie wants me to recycle my burnt kilbasa. I eat it Cappie, if you were wondering.

My friend was trying to perfectly toast a marshmallow (i.e. lightly golden brown, all that stuff. I personally like them burnt.) and it fell into the fire. And it turns out one of the counselors was filming us laughing, and he said, "That's going into the slideshow." Because at the end of camp every year there's a slideshow for some reason.

One of the science teachers lets kids into her room at lunch. Her microwave has certainly seen better days. Here's an example of what happens at lunch everyday:
Kid: Ms. -----, you're microwave's on fire!
Teacher: Again? I just cleaned it yesterday!

My Mom left my Dad and me home once with only a quesadilla maker and some quesadilla stuff. Neither of us had ever made a quesadilla before. We thought we figured it out, but both of the quesadillas we made stuck to the quesadilla maker. We ended up with big cheesy messes we had to eat with a knife and fork.

One time I tried to make eggy rice (fried rice w/ nothing but eggs and rice), but I added too many eggs.
