A Lesson learned for all of us:
Potholders made with love by Grandma do not bake well in the oven. They will burn to a crisp and send stinky balls of smoke out the oven and infiltrate your house thus setting off the smoke alarm. No amount of fanning the front door and the back door will help the situation, nor does the 'vent' overhead. All this does is add irritating noise (loud vent) to the already screeching smoke alarm and wailing baby (because she's scared... hell, I dont blame her. I was scared!) It also opens up the doors (pun) for flies to join you for dinner.
Another hint: Although you think you will never need your smoke detector/criminal jerk entry alarm, you will. It's always at the worst moment. Apparently, the 11th try at busting the code is the magic number. I finally got it! Now, I have no idea what it is because I was punching so quickly I'm not sure what I entered.
Grandma's love is in the trash outside and the poop it left behind is stuck to the bottom of my oven. Dammit.
(What happened is... I pulled C & P's dinner out of the oven to check it and it wasn't quite done so I popped it back in the oven. WELL I didnt realize that the potholder I'd sat it on was STILL stuck to the bottom of the dish!)

Oh no! :(
Sorry you ruined Grandma's love, but I'm glad everyone is safe and sound!
Time to move.
That does not sound like fun at ALL!
Oops! LOL!
We can put a man on the moon but we can't make potholders that won't burn. Sigh.
PS: Wax paper doesn't bake well, either. Take it from someone who learned the hot way.
TC: Thank you. I thought for a second that it was going to be a major ordeal... but turns out it kind of smothers itself out.
Grant: and leave Grandma's leftover love for the new owner!
Queen: No fun at all!
Bone: I havent tried wax paper yet. It took me this long just to try the potholder! lol
