What I'm Reading This Week #23

Hello there!  We made it to Friday.  Halleluyer!  Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week?  No thanks.  Oh yeah, you know what's fun?  When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes.  😤  So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises.  Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks.  I mean for real, who sells those?  I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes.  So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything.  Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves.  Well, I'll sp...

Did You Guess?

I only saw one official guess to yesterday's hump day poll.  

Here's a reminder.

So here's the story.  Last week, we're enjoying one of the dinners the Mr and I made together.  We're eating the broccoli I roasted and the Mr says "why do I smell plastic burning?"  I didn't at the time but we went into the kitchen and opened the bottom oven.  There was that heinous mess on the bottom of the oven and in the track of the bottom rack.  We ate dinner waiting for it to cool down a little and the Mr gently pries it off of the floor and breaks it off of the track.

Then it hit us what happened.  I pulled something out of a bag and put the magnetic chip clip on the counter.   When I put the broccoli on the sheet pan to roast, the tray touched the chip clip and it magnetized to the side of the pan where I couldn't see it and bam...melty lava.

Last night I roasted broccoli again sans chip clip but the lingering smell graced us with its presence which will hopefully dissipate with the next heat up or two.

Have you ever accidentally roasted something extra in your oven?

    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.

    I was going to guess a candle, but then thought that was too obvious, not it.

    Plastic 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.

    I 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.
    Then 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.
