your story reminded me of this...van
-------------------------------------------------------------
i was outside raking leaves,,,,and i completely
forgot that i was broiling a steak in the oven...
it was a huge steak too, an inch and a half thick sirloin...
so i had the oven door open just an inch for peeking
i had my back to the house...then turned slightly catching
some movement off ...of the corner of my eye...
reflecting off the glass window...
i look to see an orangey glow coming from the house
and a bit of smoke...so i run over there and look
inside through the window only to see flames shooting
out of the oven.....talk about flame broiled....!!!!
best steak i ever ate.... heh heh heh
