It's like 'The Ring', only in blog form...

So, the very night of reading The Waghorns account of kitchen appliance mishaps, I had my own incident.

Was about to boil pasta, got the water in pot, pot on the stove, turned the burner on. Two minutes later, I hear something bubbling and think to myself "Gee, that was fast." I look at the stove to see that I turned on the wrong burner. Lying on top of this burner, was a plastic kitchen utensil. Or, what was left of a plastic kitchen utensil.

Now, I've never had cat pee on my stove, but I'm thinking the smell of burnt plastic must rival it.

So, in the spirit of The Ring, I've made a copy of my kitchen mishap story to share with you all, to prevent some ghastly chick from coming out of the oven and making my face all creepy-like.

Your kitchen will combust in seven days.

Try cat pee + charred chicken fingers. Now THAT'S the smell that keeps on giving.

Oh, wait, I just got a comment. God damn it Scott. Apparently the cat will pee on the stove again in 3 more days.

Please, everyone, stop reading this post. Stop reading the comments. if you finish reading this post you too will have a kitchen mishap in 3 days!

So who's Naiomi Watts in this sick little Ring remake we have going on here?

Speaking of kitchen catastrophes, when I was 15 yrs old, my youngest brother was born. I was babysitting and one of our "BAD" habits was to leave a burp rag (which was usually a clean cloth diaper) in the middle part of the stove. I was in the other room, changing the baby and asked another brother to go turn on the stove and start heating a bottle for me. We had a gas stove that when you turned it on, it would "whooooosh" and then the flames would sort of explode then go back down. Well, to make a long story short, we started smelling something strange and my brother went back into the kitchen to find out what was burning. Next thing I heard him doing was huffing and puffing, like he was trying to blow out a candle. Well, he was trying to blow something out but it was the burp rag that was completely and totally on fire. I ran in, filled up a pitcher with water and doused the flames, only in time for the smoke alarm to start going off. Needless to say, we never left the rag on the stove again.

By the way, Henly, I was very pleased to meet you at Sara and Scott's wedding.

Good story. I think it's funny when you refer to Kraft Dinner as "pasta" -- makes it sound like you're cooking something all fancy-like.

FYI,

Kraft Dinner by itself? Not pasta.

KD + cut-up hotdogs? Pasta.
