A little ~too~ well done.

I had a sweet tooth last night to decided to make pop tarts.

I set the toaster and sit down on the couch waiting for it to pop. I start smelling them burn, which confused me as I set the toaster on low. I walk into the kitchen to find smoke billowing out from where the toaster sits.

As I turn the corner, I see HUGE FLAMES and I yell for Tom to come in because there is a fire. He runs in to find the toaster on fire and I was reaching for the fire extinguisher under the sink. In a flash, he unplugs the toaster (I couldn't reach it) and dumps water over it.

We immediately removed the smoldering toaster from the house and turned on our attic fan to remove the smoke. The cabinets over the toaster are hot to the touch and the dishes inside are all warm. ~whew~. I almost had a catastrophe on my hands. All over a pair of pop tarts.



Do you think they still look good enough to eat?
