Just call me Martha

Ah, yes. This past weekend we added another kitchen activity to the list of "Things Joanna Should Not Attempt Without Supervision." The first item on the list: The use of any sharp objects (knives, skewers, etc.).



Now we add "Turning on the stove top burners."




For the second time in as many months, I turned on the wrong burner and managed to melt both pudding cups and a tote bag. (Last time I melted the front cover off my mom's cookbook!) Some might think I should use this as a reason to stop being so lazy and clean up my kitchen so I don't have to store things that melt on my stove top. I just see it as an excuse to put Dave in charge of the cooking! :P (Jackie, if you click on the picture and look at the bigger version, I'm sure you'll recognize the tote bag.)

Good job! That's like Thankdgiving, when I didn't realize the grill top had been cut on, and a stack of plastic bowls melted, dripped down onto the unit, and started blazing.

I have caught a towel on fire at least twice - once from a burner and once from the oven, and melted the inside of a burner cover. All three of these incidents happened at my last apartment I lived in at SFA. I've learned to be more careful since then, but it's only a matter of time. I'm really klutzy sometimes.

Oh, I didn't include the number of times I've caught the oven or toaster oven on fire. It's just embarrassing.
