So, remember in my last blog when I said I was going to make chicken alfredo that night? I was so excited to finally be able to cook my first meal in our new place and we were pretty excited to eat American food! Well, do I have quite the story for you. Rob and I had decided that we would buy some inexpensive pans, which we thought would last for at least 10 months. Boy were we wrong....
So, we have a gas stove at our new apartment but the landlord needs to get it hooked up for us (which is happening today!!!!) and in the mean time she bought us this electric single burner that we could use. Well, here I am trying to cook some chicken in our brand new frying pan on this little electric burner. I was letting it cook for a little bit and all of a sudden there was this loud popping sound. Then these sparks started flying from underneath the pan, and I mean flying. So, I ran screaming (I know, such a girly reaction) and left Rob to take care of the situation! So, he runs over, unplugs the burner and it finally stops. After it cooled down, we inspected the damage and here is what we saw:
Yeah, it takes a very talented chef to burn a hole through a frying pan! Who knew I was so talented!!! Wow, maybe we shouldn't have bought the cheap pots and pans! Well, I'm not sure who to blame it on, the pan or the cook. Probably a little bit of both. Well, needless to say, we have been eating out since the "burn a hole through the pan" incident. Hopefully we will get our stove hooked up soon so I can start cooking again.
Oh yeah, one more thing (I tell ya, everyday is a new adventure here. You never know what's going to happen). We got to school today only to find out that the school "pet" python got out of his cage and is no where to be seen. Yeah, talk about freaky. I am constantly looking and listen because I just know that this snake is going to show it's pretty little head in my office! Oh, another day, another adventure. I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow...

Hey guys! You just have one adventure after another! It's fun to read what's been going on. I have never seen a pan that burned a hole through it before. What was it made out of?? Plastic?
And I think I'd have something to say about the "pet" python sneaking around my school. It's scary enough to have a python in a cage let alone loose. I think I'd lock myself in my room and not come out til they found it. You guys are so adventurous and brave! I can't wait to hear what happens next!
Christina, Christina,
Why does stuff always seem to happen to you? How about the box under the truck on the interstate incident? You really should write a book about all your little adventures...I know you're grandkids would love to hear them. Have fun.

i remember the box under the truck incident. that was crazy. you little episodes always involves sparks too. :) at least you have rob there to enjoy it with. it may not have been fun or funny at the time but thinking back on it one day you are going to laugh your butts off at it. i'd be terrified of the python too.
LOL-- I don't think I'd be going to school if there was a python loose... eeek! That's hilarious about the pot-- wish I could have seen you running at the sound of the pops. Hopefully all future cooking episodes will occur without incident :)
Yea, Christina, I think I'd eat out too after your adventure. It's amusing reading about all of the new situations that you're getting into though. Try getting better pots before trying out the stove.
