What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
That was a tough one to guess. It took us a little investigation and analysis in order to figure out what happened. At least our brand new oven isn't completely destroyed by it. The smell will dissipate over time, lol.
ReplyDeleteI was going to guess a candle, but then thought that was too obvious, not it.
ReplyDeletePlastic in oven or heater coil in dishwasher is a really terrible smell, hope it dissipates soon.
I see it now. I thought it was something on your windshield not in your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI had the great Christmas cookie disaster of 2017. I made a ton of cookies on Christmas Eve, I was going to box them up and take them to a few friends on Christmas Day. They weren't ready to be boxed, so I piled them high on a plastic tray and put them in the oven to keep the cats out of them - the oven was the only place big enough to hold them all. I neglected to tell my mom, and when she came up in the morning she started the oven preheating for the sweet rolls. The entire tray melted, ruined 5 batches of cookies, and I had to replace the oven rack.
I baked a ham one Christmas in the plastic! There was an overwrap that had the printing/label, etc on it I removed.
ReplyDeleteThen there was a tight clear one i didn't notice until I removed the cooked ham from the oven. I was bringing the ham to our family holiday meal. My mom called and told everyone i dropped it taking out of the oven and that the dog got it!
One of the first Thanksgivings I hosted I accidentally cooked the turkey with the giblet bag inside, plastic and all! Did we eat the turkey? Yes we did. And it was darn good, except for the waiting part to die from poisoning. It was another proud moment in the life of Woodsy.
