Never Ever Let your man in the kitchen

And so here it is, Coral and Ashley went to the Circus today, I thought I would make a great dinner for them. When Coral and Ashley came home I offered up my suggestion. I was going to make a large ham with Au-gratin potatoes that have sliced portions of the ham in it.

Here is the set up to my story. Last night before bed I placed three rather large bags of marshmallows into the oven to keep the animals out of them, (are you beginning to see the picture here), I prepped the ham and potatoes for cooking while the oven (still having the three rather large bags of marshmallows inside) warmed of to 400 degrees. Now I was relaxing in front of the computer to check my e-mail, several minutes had passed. I started to notice a rather sweet smell through the house, I thought it was a really nice smell as we had the house opened up because it was a very nice day out.

Now the smell is getting rather strong, and a terrible flash ran through my mind, I glanced over at the oven to see large amounts of smoke coming from inside. As I noticed this, Ashley came around the corner to see me open the oven (with the three now melted bags of marshmallows inside) only to find the entire inside of the oven now on fire, we are talking Bonn fire size flames erupting from the marshmallows.

Long story made short, Keep your man out of the kitchen, and marshmallows don’t actually clean up all that bad from the oven, lots of hot water.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. Paul
