I'm at work and just got the most interesting call from my husband (who never calls me at work btw)..

"Hey, it's me.  Now I don't want you to panic or anything..."  (too late) 

"First off, the fire's out."  (FIRE?!?!?)

"Well, it was more like just some smoldering and a lot of smoke, but no one got hurt.  We're all fine."  (no one being hurt is good... but smoke/smolder/fire?)

"Remember that silpat thing you got for hanukkah?"  (The silicone baking sheet liner that I've wanted for years and years and finally got, yes I remember that... wait, remember?)

"well......"

As it turns out he put a hot pan, fresh off the stovetop, directly on top of of the silicone pad lined baking sheet, which basically combusted due to the intense heat.

*sigh* and *headdesk*  Can I kill him when I get home?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Spousicide is completely justified, I would have thought. Oh dear...

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Okay, now Jack is preening. *rolls eyes at him*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Spousicide is my new favorite word. I'll have to see how well he grovels when I get home...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you have truly wonderous icons!

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Yours are pretty damn fine too!

I don't have enough of john though :(

"First off, the fire's out."

Oh boy. You know the conversation isn't going uphill when it starts out like that!

So he... almost burned down your kitchen with a hot pad? That's talent! (Of an undesirable kind.) I hope they at least get the smell cleared out before you get home.

::comfort coffee and donuts::

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yeah... any conversation that starts that way is doomed from the getgo isn't it?

it's not really a hot pad, it's a nonstick liner for cookie sheets so stuff won't stick even without greasing it.

*accepts donuts and coffee* *munches happily*

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Well, still. He started a fire with something designed to be put in the oven.

I've caught my clothes on fire on the stove before, but at least they were my own clothes. :)

[unfeathered]

Oh dear... You certainly may kill him.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

GAH men! Cut his balls off, I would! If you kill him he won't be able to buy you a replacement or offer donuts as an apology so I'd lay off that option if I were you *hugs you*

I think at the very least severe bodily harm is perfectly acceptable.

Mind you about a year ago I set my purse on fire (I set it on the stove and accidentally knocked the dial over), so I'm not exactly in a position to judge.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thank you! I knew you guys would have my back on this!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

donuts as an apology.. I like the way you think!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

eeek! your purse? That's awful!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*g*

I set my hair on fire cooking dinner for OH once. Luckily hair grows back.

He needs to apologise with chocolate donuts no less (though I'd settle for just the chocolate). In the mean time, have some virtual chocolate off me.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

awww thanks *g*

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

I was pretty lucky (in my ineptitude) - I was right there when it happened, so quick to the sink and nothing else burned. I didn't lose any of my ID or money, though my library card is slightly warped. I still miss the purse, and I lost a reusable Shiseido compact that was a luxury item for me, but that was about it.

Besides, now it's a good day for me if I didn't set anything on fire!

[badwolf36.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Sounds like you've had quite the day. Physical violence authorized.

(After he grovels properly by replacing everything destroyed and bringing donuts. *nods*)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I say kill him.
