Exciting and Excitement

Last Friday was the first time that someone came to look at our house (that's the exciting part). I was very careful in cleaning up, making the house look it's best. As I was doing this, I thought that the brownie pan with plastic blue lid shouldn't be left out, so I put it out of sight, in the oven. At the time that I did this I thought, "I'm going to forget that it's in there and start the oven", but did it anyway. I must say, as a biased voice, that the house did look incredible. Well, they came and left and I came home to get dinner ready. We were going to have pasta and breadsticks. So I turned the oven on and started the water boiling. About 15 minutes later, I started to smell an unpleasant odor. At that moment, I remembered that I'd put the brownies in the oven. Opening the oven, the smell of melting plastic assaulted my nose. I removed the offending pan, and cooked the breadsticks, which luckily didn't smell or taste like melted plastic. (That's the excitement part.)
