Flames of Bacon Hell

I had a severely blonde moment today.... 

I cut up some bacon and set it to frying, then went outside for just a moment to water the plants.

Just a moment thoughtlessly turned into 20 or 30 minutes - not exactly sure, but I forgot all about the bacon and damn near set the house on fire. 

I opened the door and smoke BILLOWED out, followed by two gasping cats very near to suffering smoke inhalation damage. 

Rushing to the stove I saw nothing but a pan full of smoldering charcoal... it was brutal. 

A pig gave his life for that price reduced bacon, and I made a mockery of his sacrifice with my carelessness. 

I'm going to need to purchase a few bottles of Febreeze.

  3. I locked myself out of my house when the bacon was cooking.
    Had to hunt down a ladder from a neighbour three houses down, in a light gray tank top, braless, barefootin' it and a pair of shorts two sizes too big. Sexy and I know it..

    But you got me beat, Venom. Can you still smell the burned bacon in the house?

  5. Suz: It was going off, believe me, the cats were half deafened!
    But I was outside watering flowers....
    I'm an idiot.

    Coffey: I stand by my above statement. *hangs head*

    Jamie: Faded out fairly quickly, but I did have open every window and run fans -- bloody hot day too. Waste of good air conditioning.

    #1: You're a life saver!! Thank You.

    Michelle: We share the pain. ;-)

  6. I've done that, but with a taco. That set my kitchen on fire. Sad day. My tacos died.

  7. My dad used to do shit like that and tell me it was 'Cajun' in efforts to force me to eat said lump of charcoal.
