Warpie Writing Straight Through Explosion in Kitchen

OK, got the kitchen floor moped this morning. That is my least favorite housecleaning task and I am not sure why. While I was in Iowa Mick fed the cats on the wood floor instead of the utility room. Probably because he doesn’t mop the wood floors and hadn’t a clue, BUT they done. First I dust, then I vacuum, then I mop with special solution recommended by the wood floor guys and mop again on the bad spots.
Oh, my Teresa is actually back and in communication again AND wrote a new piece. Then there is the one about Michelle AND I am helping a friend edit a novel she is writing and I got started on chapter 16 of that – whoa she changed many things and this is a really good read! Several people wrote back about my comments and some are reading my new pieces. Man there are a lot of new pieces today…..
And all four cats were plunked, asleep on the master bed right next to the kitchen….
I decided to go peek at the wash and left the computer room opening the door – you might ask why the door is closed. I have one remaining plant and it is sequestered in the computer room away from the cats who munch anything that is green. I have mercy on the remaining plant.
Whew, what is that acrid smell? Oh, my goodness, the EGGS!
I ran to the kitchen to see that pot boiled dry – grabbed it and ran to the sink to turn the water on – what I didn’t notice was that the eggs had already blown up all over the stove, cupboards, countertops and underneath the wall mounted microwave. I quickly doused the pan and remaining eggs in water and there was another explosion and egg blew up in my face, on the wooden blinds, all over the clean hickory floors and into the window sill and mechanism of the slider.
Yes, I am ok. Well, when I went into the mirror I found egg in my hair in two places.
And I cleaned, floors, counter tops, walls, tile are you getting a visual? It smells in here too – nothing quite like scorched boiled (dry) eggs. It is 44 outside and I am opening windows, turning on ceiling fans and exhaust fans.
Is there a moral to this story? Oh, yah, writing for Searchwarp can be an exciting albeit explosive proposition. And here I am back online again….

More commentsMarijo, too funny! Take a break tonight, go out to eat, and then share your next gormet creation with us.Actually, I am making Fran's meatballs for tonight and so far, the timer is working and no smoke from the kitchen! Thanks for your comments! Check out Fran's meatballs too great even without the sauce. Marijo
Great visual and, oh, how unfortunate!Ahh, at least I got my piece done!Welcome to Searchwarp by the way! Marijo
Wow, what a fiasco! I can definitely relate to the "tunnel vision" effect that writing can bring about.It is all better now and I have written more in the days since than in the past week! Inspiring - thanks for your commentsWelcome to Searchwarp by the way! Marijo
Use a microwave..it contains the explosions haha...a good read.Such a wonderful idea and sure to perform with the explosion! Thanks for reading!Welcome to Searchwarp by the way!
Nice little peep into your domestic life, but sorry, not too interesting. I'll bet you could turn that into a hilarious Lucy-type story, want to try? I'd like to read it.Thanks for your honest comments. This one ran the gamut from getting really high to really low marks. Welcome to Searchwarp. Marijo
Hi Marijo,I thought the article was hilarious. I could just see enjoying the moment in your computer room, writing your article. Then the sudden foul aroma as you entered the other room... And the egg exploding in your face! Oh, my goodness, that would have been a sight. I laughed. Glad to hear you weren't hurt.Can hardly wait to read another piece like this.Blessings,Markthanks Mark - a gola of mine is also to make people laugh!
Very entertaining article. Enjoyed the read. Thanks.Thanks for reading and commenting!
Enjoyed your experience. I am not sure it is a good idea to leave the kitchen while coooking though!I now have a little digital timer and it goes with me wherever I go if I am cooking or baking. Thanks for reading!
Marijo,I am glad you are okay and the whole house didn't go up in smoke. This sounds like something I would do. I burnt steamed rice and the pan once because I was probably on SW. I enjoy the article.Love, hugs and blessings,MichelleThanks, Michelle, glad I am not the only one - my little digital timer is invaluable and a recent purchase of my hubby for me! How are you doing? Marijo
Nice to hear someone cleans up after themselves these days!Are you telling me I'd hate to see your kitchen?
