It All Came Back to Me!

I am now a firm believer in all the fire safety drills they used to make you do in school! (Not that I wasn't before!) Here I am being vulnerable in this post and exposing something very stupid that I did (after swearing Jon to secrecy about the whole ordeal)! Yesterday I decided to cook a couple of tortillas on the stove. I love the uncooked tortillas from Cost-Co and I skipped lunch to take Emma to a birthday party. Well, I have made these a hundred times and we have had our gas stove for over 3 years now. So, there I was in a somewhat loose and flowy shirt cooking my tortilla. I reached up in the cupboard just to the left of the stove where we keep our paper plates. A few seconds later I smell something burning. I start looking around and all I remember is screaming, "Oh my gosh...I'm on fire!" Jon and Emma were both in the room. I'm not sure what they did because all that was going through my head was "Stop, drop and roll"! OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but the thought did cross my mind! But luckily all I did was grab a kitchen towel and put my shirt out. It caught fire pretty good! I was freaking out a little at the thought of how it could have been a lot worse. My hands were shaking like crazy after the whole ordeal. Thank goodness all I lost was a shirt, because it could have been bad! Moral of the story...don't wear loose clothing when cooking on a gas stove! Or, just be more careful around fire (unlike me)! :)
