Yikes! I fell asleep with something on the stove.
Luckily, it was on really low.

2. a King Alfred?
I didn't burn the place down or anything - I didn't even burn the soup. Luckily, it had a lid on, so it didn't all evaporate.

3. I don't think he burnt the house down
but did spoil the cakes. Glad that the soup's still ok though...we'll still allow you to keep the "Great" title.

8. That's good it was on low - otherwise it might have burned you.

9. We used to call that "Chef Blackout"
Edited on Tue Feb-14-06 02:57 PM by eyepaddle
usually alcohol was involved. It only happened twice (I was not the culprit in either case-but I slept through one of the fiascos). One was a pizza which got charred to a carbon black--but you could stil ee the individual pieces of sausage and pepperoni.

We hung it on a wall. It was a great decoration, and quite the conversation starter--until an aquaintance did not pay it the proper respect and knocked it off the wall and broke it. :cry:

We used to talk about charring pizzas deliberately and making clocks out of them to sell at Dead shows! ;)

You don't even wanna know about the salmon episode--it took DAYS to air the apartment out after that!

10. I fell asleep while boiling water once.
The teflon pot had turned blue and white. For about two weeks it felt like someone was sitting on my chest.

11. Burning something is really disastrous
Now you can't get something for Valentine's Day, you can't eat something, you can't drink something, and you can't slip into something more comfortable.
