Almost caught my home on fire!
Published:
Late yesterday afternoon around 4:30 pm I was going to make a sandwich for an early supper...some call it
dinner...anyway I was using some greek pita bread for a wrap and decided I wanted to toast the bread
first so put it in the oven and turned on the broiler.
THEN I was thinking a baked potato would be good with it so got out a potato and got a fork and held the potato in my left hand down on the kitchen counter and a fork in the right hand and slammed down the fork in what I thought was the potato so it would bake quicker in the microwave...well I missed some of the potato and a prong slammed into my left thumb...SO now all this time the bread is toasting so I go in the bathroom and fixed it up then realized I forgot to pour peroxide on it so took off the band-aid an poured it on then put the antibiotic cream on and started back towards the kitchen.
AND THEN all of a sudden the smoke alarm started screaming to the top of it's lungs (if it has lungs)...long story short the bread was burning big time so I did have sense enough to cut off the oven and wait a minute before I opened the door but when I did the bread was on fire but I picked up the pan with a cloth and put it in the sink and turned on the water and it smelled really strong...can still smell it some this morning.
After it cooled a little I took it out on the balcony and sat it down...ended up later throwing the pan away cause it was burnt so bad I could not scrape it clean.
If it was not for that smoke alarm my apt would have caught on fire for sure because when I got distracted by putting the fork in my thumb I completed forgot the bread was in the oven.
I got out a fan and put it in the kitchen and an air-cleaning machine & sprayed air cleaner but the smell would not go completely away...it was raining a little but I opened the door and all of the windows too.
Telling you all about this so you will be careful while you're cooking because it's so easy to get distracted...usually I stay right by the stove when I'm toasting bread but I was distracted when I slammed down the fork in my thumb and missed part of the potato.
...realized later I could have heated the bread in the microwave for a minute and it would have been just as good and much safer since I had the accident with the fork!...live and learn!
After I calmed down I did make the sandwich and baked the potato but I have a big bandage on my thumb...it did not bleed all that much, more bruised than anything else....told my neighbor about it and she wanted me to
make sure I had a tetanus shot so will call the dr. this morning to see for sure...think I have had one.
Betcha I don't put any more fork holes in a potato when I toasting bread in the oven ever again...oh after all of that I was bound and determined to bake the potato to have with my sandwich and I did & the meal was good but my nerves weren't.

second!
But then again I didn't have to hold a fork in one hand to pierce a potato & my thumb with either.
It's ironic the smoke alarm battery went off last night with it's chirp chirp so got up in the middle of the night and climbed on a ladder and changed it...thank goodness it worked one more time for me before going out...thank you Jesus!
Stay focused
Sometimes too many minds
