Third Time is NOT a Charm

I almost burned the building down yesterday. Not once, but twice. I do not want to know what a third time would bring.

You see, I have these chocolate chip that are super tasty, and they're even better when they're heated up and slightly crisped in the toaster. The problem was, they kept crumbling and falling onto the heating element. Nevermind that I turned the light/dark dial waaay down, for some reason the toaster didn't even pay attention to that setting.

The first time, I didn't know anything was wrong until I smelled smoke. If fire hadn't been threatening to burn all of my worldly possessions I would have grabbed my camera to show you what three fully-flaming chocolate chip cookies look like in a toaster oven.

My cookies were burned, what's a guy to do? Make more cookies! But this time I would watch them and make sure they didn't burn. Right? Ha!

Again, smoke, flame, fire alarm, blah blah blah.

Oh well. I managed to salvage some of the second batch enough to feel like I'd eaten dessert.
