What an eventful weekend I had! First I almost die while snowboarding and then I almost burned down my apartment...
On Sunday it was my turn to cook dinner, which was simple. But I decided to be nice and make a dessert since I had been in such a bad mood the whole week before. So I decided to make the delicious but easy to make orange rolls that my mom always used to make on Christmas morning(or I think she did!). So I made them and put them in the oven and took them out but they just weren't the same. They had NO flavor!! So later I looked in the oven and found all the flavor...it all dripped to the bottom of the oven. So I found out that the bundt pan I have doesn't hold liquids because it opens at the bottom, it's just really weird. Maybe I'll splurge and buy a new pan...but probably not.
So then I decided to be even nicer and clean up my mess. Earlier I had talked to Meredith on the phone and she was telling me how Lauren always used to do the self-clean on the oven. What a great idea-I won't even have to do anything!! WRONG. Here's a tip....before you turn the self-clean on for your oven try to clean it as much as possible...or you will have the experience that I had.
We were about to watch a movie when I looked in the kitchen and saw TONS of smoke. So I immediately grabbed a towel and opened the door while my roommate took the batteries out of the smoke detector. Who knew there would be so much smoke!
We inhaled a lot of smoke...but my roommates always find a way to make everything fun:
So after 30 minutes of being firefighters we got the smoke to a reasonable amount but had to leave the windows open all night so it wouldn't take over the apartment!! So this last picture is me, "the culprit" cleaning up the mess in the oven after trying to self clean...I will now always clean the oven by myself, I should've known to never trust something that says it will self-clean!!

Time out. How did I get brought into this? I never self cleaned the oven. The only time I ever did that was for cleaning checks, and that was because it was required. Of course you have to clean the oven yourself! All the self clean does is burn everything off!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I told her Lauren. That's how you got brought into this. She failed to listen to the part about cleaning up everything you could first!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I'm sorry Add! The multiple, distressed phone calls I got that night were quite humorous though! I still love you!
Maybe I'll even buy you a new, REAL bundt pan!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you and your roommate look like terrorists, gang-bangers or look you might be hanging out in the park w/ that weirdo who kidnapped people...David somebody...
ReplyDeleteBut...the fact is that you were probably right on the cusp of letting the self-clean work. Meredith is right but that is the point of the self clean option.
As for your bundt-crack, can't help you there but I can confirm that the orange rolls are way yummy.
HAHAHA, "bundt-crack"! She would. And I love that Leah doesn't know what you look like and thinks you're in the picture of Steph and Sam.
ReplyDeletei wish you would cook for me...
ReplyDeleteNo...don't quit cooking! But, I'll bet you never do that again!
ReplyDeleteFTR...I did know the blonde was NOT Adrianne. The other chickee did fool me.
