BEFORE she put the damned stuff into an electric oven at 350 degrees. When the flash fire hit... I grabbed the kitchen fire extinguisher (yes we keep one on hand) as I yelled "Call the Fire Department!!". Flames were shooting out the front of the oven! By the time the FD showed up... I had the fire out, but the oven was a total loss, and I had a 2nd degree burn on one hand.

She got a new stove delivered the next day.

Moral of story. If you know Grace. DO NOT ASK HER FOR THE RECIPE FOR BOURBON PECANS! (Please? For your own safety!)

And yes... this really happened.

And yes, we are still happily married!!!!

My sister grew up not knowing life without a microwave. I am just a few years ahead but am the big brother. So mom is out of the house and sis wants to be independent and make her TV dinner but the microwave is broken. She says she has it taken care of until I smell smoke, I sprint down stairs, and flames in the oven, I grab the extinguisher from under the sink and give it a blast. Seems independent little sis only had microwave experience and put the plastic tray on the oven rack. Tray melted, plastic and food ignited, ceiling with smoke damage, yellow powder all over.

Place was a rental so we just wiped the stove down and touch up painted the ceiling and scorched areas.
