Never, ever, ever put something in the toaster oven with the broken off switch and then go sit down at the computer "just to take a quick look at my email."

I don't know whether I am more annoyed that I burnt yummy Greek spinach bread stuff to a cinder, or more troubled that the entire apartment is full of smoke and none of the smoke detectors seem to care.  I am however sheepishly relieved that I still haven't put plastic on the windows and thus was able to open a window and set up a fan to get the smoke out.

Also, I do believe I will be picking up a new toaster oven on my way home tomorrow.

Wine, that's what I need.  And food that cooks in the microwave.

edited to add: and my hair, freshly washed this morning, now smells like smoke. Lovely!

Rest assured that you are not alone in burning your food to a cinder while just "checking your email" or "playing a little freecell" or "getting absorbed in watching Green Street Hooligans."

That reminds me... *runs off to kitchen*
