Fire Hazard~!

So late Saturday afternoon I thought to myself. "You know, I'm hungry for something breadish. Don't I have some muffin mix in the cupboard?" And I did! So I turned on the oven to start heating up and turned to the eternal debate between Lemon Poppyseed and Blueberry.

Then I heard this weird CRACK and SIZZLE sound coming from the oven. Weird, since there wasn't anything even in it yet. So I opened it up to discover that the heating coil on the bottom of the oven had split open in one spot...like a power cord chewed by demented rabbits. And now was arcing with white hot electricity. I quickly turned the oven off and everything cooled back down to a bright orange. Only that one spot was even warm at all yet. The oven had JUST started to warm up.

I called my apartment complex, and just got their answering service. She promised to call the manager and have them decide whether it counted as an 'emergency' or not. But looks like it didn't. Knowing this complex I'm betting I'll have a usable oven by Tuesday at the earliest.

So I was all sadly without muffins. But then I thought. Idiot! This is why you have a toaster oven! And I was instantly cheered. But then I noticed that my milk was expired and there were no muffins after all.

...this story is so tragic. I was all set for a happy ending, but no! No muffins! The horror!

Hope they fix your oven soon.

I know! There was much wailing and knashing of teeth. Actually there was just wailing, since there was nothing to knash my teeth on.

But NOW I have milk. AND muffin mix. And a toaster oven. Victory may yet be mine.
