I would like to point out that you have something linked to this post that would count as wood… “All Artichoked Up”
So, you’re closer then you thought.

I think we have all had experiences like that. I guess we need those experiences to give us funny stories to tell our children.

I also had an experience while making hot tea. I wrote about it on my blog http://tabetha.gedeon.name/burning-incense.html. I also once accidentally put a pan in the oven with a pot holder in it. Oops!!

You know, this may be inspiration for a group writing project on my blog next month! Thanks!!

Haha! No danger of burning down the apartment… i did mention that I was in the next room the whole, time? Which makes it so much more of an epic fail.

I had a roommate in China that left something boiling on the stove while she went to take a quick shower. Well, after she got out of the shower, she forgot to go and see if her food was done. I’m not sure how long it had been on the stove, but when I walked in the front door, I knew something was burning. As soon as I screamed, she remembered, and we both flew up the stairs to the kitchen to see the destruction. Thankfully, the melting/smoking pot was the only thing ruined, well, that and my air supply, and of course her meal. I’m glad you didn’t burn down your apartment.
