Oh, story time:
To ring in the New Year, I set my oven on fire.
More specifically, I had a grease fire while trying to broil salmon steak without a proper broiler pan. (Memo: baking rack and cookies sheet just will not cut it.) The fire was quickly doused with the ever handy baking soda, but the smoke made for a teary dinner.
(I'm still working on getting the fish smell out of the air.)
