I AM SO FUCKING STUPID!!
I hope you manage to sort out what went wrong. I'm kicking myself right now since I forgot to buy batteries for the kids' christmas presents that need them
It's not as bad as I feared, at first. I was sitting on my ''throne with a screen'', surfing, post whoring on a music site, flipping back here, ocassionally to see if anyone's talking about anything, besides Christmas, listening to "Files de Kilimanjaro" at the level it was, live, in the club in Europe where it was recorded, fairly sure I had twenty or so minutes of free time, when I noticed smoke, no, it was SMOKE!! coming out of the oven, while my pies are cooking.
I had forgotten that my wife had made a huge mess in the oven when she cooked her brother's butterscoth pie ( which I double-forgot about) last week end. I hadn't really had the oven hot before today. I put out the fire, aired out the house, cleaned up the mess and most importantly, saved the pies.
Pies aren't supposed to explode when you put them in the oven, but, I'm sure most know, if your mix is off enough, funny things happen. I expected to see my pies running over, like little volcanoes, for some crazy goof I had made during their assembly. I was expecting to see a lost cause, in the oven, is why I took the time to type that after "seeing smoke". I was already giving up. >>>>>
I feel strong again. I got this.
*pulls out, yet another, sizable chunk of hair from his head*MOD:
The pies just came out of the oven and they are beautiful and they smell so good.
