Here’s what we do for fun when things are slow:

Now, here are the answers to your questions:

1. Yes, everyone is OK, aside from breathing in more smoke than we like.

2. Yes, this did require the use of a fire extinguisher, which I thank the Lord we had on hand.

3. No, we did not try to eat this.

4. No, I did not cook the taco shells too long. They were honestly in there, like, 30 seconds. That’s it. I saw smoke, opened it up and flames shot up the front of my stove. Big time.

5. Yes, my children obeyed perfectly and did exactly what I told them to (for once). And yes, they excitedly told Daddy, “We didn’t get to call the firefighters, ’cause Mommy put it out.”

6. So, no, Nate was not home.

7. Yes, we still had tacos… just soft shell instead of these extra crispy ones.

8. No, I’m not exactly sure what happened, but I think it had to do with lots of dust and such in (under) the broiler. I haven’t used it in more than 4 years.

9. Yes, thankfully, it’s all clean and you can’t tell what happened. Amazing, though.

10.  We slept with the windows open and fans blowing outward, so, no… our house doesn’t smell too bad now.

Thank you for your concern. Please direct any further questioning to my mental health professionals while I put on this white coat. I can’t handle any more excitement.
