So I made baked mac&cheese for dinner tonight. While it was baking, I was sitting w/ Lydia in the kitchen, and all of a sudden I heard this sizzle like a lightning bolt. I looked over and the entire lower oven was full of fire, and then it sizzled down to nothing. It turns out, that we have a faulty lower element. I am just really glad that we were home and that I was in the kitchen when it happened, and nothing got damaged. The saddest part? I know we have a fire extinguisher *somewhere*, but I'm not sure where, or if it is even valid anymore. I know one thing I will be doing tomorrow.
