What is that you may be asking yourself?
It's 'toasted' Top Ramen, of course.
It's 'toasted' Top Ramen, of course.
Here's what happened: This morning while I was watching Kate's kids so she could decorate for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet, Denett and I were making the Chinese Chicken salad for the same event. We were busy cooking chicken, watching 5 kids, chopping cabbage, and toasting some Ramen. I ran upstairs to bring the girls back down, when I started to smell something burning. My thought was, "I should check on the chicken when I get back downstairs." As I started down the stairs, Denett started yelling for me. I ran in the kitchen to see 3 foot flames coming from my broiler (located below the oven). We frantically turned off the stove & oven, took the cookie sheet outside, & opened all of the doors & windows. Of course my smoke filled house set off the fire alarm, which made McKinley cry... but Caitlyn slept through the whole thing. Madisen, Reagan, & Max just watched Denett & I like we'd gone crazy. Once we FINALLY got the smoke alarm turned off, we couldn't stop laughing. I only hope that my oven will recover- there is definitely some smoke damage from the fire.

Oh My Goodness!!!! Glad you had a picture to prove it all happened. How bad does the house smell?
That is hilarious! Sorry you have to have a smokey house, but the story is pretty funny!
All I can say is thank heavens for morning prayers praying for safety. What a blessing that none of you were hurt and the house is still standing. The smell will probably linger for quite a while!
Love, Mom
Yikes! I bet it still stinks! :( Isn't it so easy to get distracted? It is for me! Love the pic. :)
That is such a funny story. It is one of those times where you are really glad you have a camera to capture the moment!
Oh no! I hope you were able to get that smell out of your house. I've done something very similar. Glad you had your camera close by to capture the moment!
Funny story Emilee!!
One of the few times you and I weren't roommates, at the Omni, I started a fire in the oven while baking cinnamon rolls...and watching General Conference. It was one of the more memorable conferences for me...but not spiritually :)
I LOVE that you took a picture of it to post on your blog!
I wished I could have seen the three foot flames and your face. I would have died! I miss adventures like this, not that we didn't burn our cake tonight as well, but hearing you laugh :)

Still looks good to me. I'm glad you guys are okay.
Emily =)
That is really funny! I've never seen that site before of burnt ramon noodles!
