Burnt to a Crisp!

This week I have been living by myself at the parents’ apartment, since they have been staying out at the lake all week. It’s been pretty nice, since now I don’t have to fight my dad over the new flat-screen TV. So yesterday morning my mom had cooked some burger for me so I could make dinner. Well when she had finished cooking it, she left it in the pan and set it in the fridge on one of those cork pads so it didn’t crack the fridge glass. So when I came home to cook dinner last night, I got the burger out and set it on the burner to warm it up and went out in the living room to kill some time before the burger was warmed. Little to my knowledge, the stupid cork pad had stuck to the bottom of the pan, and I couldn’t even tell when I put the pan on the burner. So I was sitting out in the living room, and I smelled something weird, and I thought to myself, “Wow, that burger really smells weird.” So I got up and walked into the kitchen, and it was filled, and I mean filled, with smoke. By this time I thought that the burger had burned and that it was the cause of the smoke, so I grabbed the pan and lifted it up, and the dumb cork pad fell off from under the pan. It was burnt to a crisp, and embers were everywhere at this point. I had to open both doors to get a nice draft running through the house and turn the vent on all afternoon to get the stench out of the kitchen. To add to that, it’s just my luck that there isn’t a smoke detector in the kitchen, I don’t really know why, since that’s where I think most fires would start. Well everyone, I’ll leave you with a piece of advice, always check under your pan before you set it on the burner (LOL).
