It was hard to see through the billowing smoke, and the sirens and screaming made it hard to think clearly. Panic and terror pursued my tender heart as I realized that Jeremy would most likely never let me cook again. I couldn't believe that I let it get to this. First the melted plastic spoon, then the melted plastic crock-pot handle, now this?! I must really be letting myself go, or being with 35 eight- and nine-year-olds really is sending me to the nuthouse.
Okay, it wasn't really that bad, but it felt like it at the time. I had just finished cooking dinner (I was in a bit of a rush because my Presidency meeting was coming quickly upon me), and we sat down to eat. The meal was delicious, if I do say so myself. Jeremy went to the other room to check his phone because he had heard an alert. I was sitting at the dinner table, praising myself for whipping together such a lovely meal when I smelled it. I caught the terrible whiff of something burning. What could it be? I thought, The food is on the stove, and I turned off the oven. I quickly turned around and saw my favorite grey pot holder smoking! "Not again..." I moaned. Jeremy quickly asked me what happened. He dashed into the room, and said, "It smells like something is burning!" Come to find out, I forgot to turn off one of the burners that was keeping the sauce warm, and later had set the pot holder on it. This was the end result:
On a happier note, yesterday was Jeremy's birthday. He's a whopping 27 years old! We're thinking of getting him a hearing aide (aid?) next week. To celebrate we had my former roommates, one of his former roommates, and a coworker of his come over Friday night for games. On Sunday his siblings came over for dinner, and last night we went to dinner to Sam Hawks --where we went on our first date almost exactly a year ago (awe...). It was a lot of fun to go back. That place is delicious. If you like Korean food, I highly suggest that you check it out.
**And for all of you smartypants out there that are thinking Nicole will eat Korean food? The answer is yes, so ha!
