cooking, claire style.

oh, how i love her voice.

you know what that means.  that means i'm pretty sure i was just now seconds away from starting a fire...
but seriously.  i was following the directions.  the pie crust directions say you have to cook it with wax paper crumbled on top.
so i did it.  although i don't remember ever doing that before.  but it's in mikah's writing, so this fire nonsense is all on her head!
i even made sure all the edges of the wax paper were away from the elements...  and i turned away for one second (not to do the dishes, though, let's be honest).  when i looked up the oven was smoking profusely.  i opened it and it smelled like burnt plastic.  and all the edges of the wax paper were black.  so i took them out (you should be proud).  and now the whole house/apartment/flat is foggy and smelly.
so. gross.  smells like burnt plastic.

i took pictures, but you only can tell if you look closely (cameras are good at shooting through fog, even phone cameras)  (i do not know how to find Paint or something else to circle the fogs in the photos...)

ok, ok, you can't tell at all, which i'm really disappointed about, because it really was a complete mess.
also, how perfect does my pie crust look?!  the advantages of a blurry shot!  (i actually messed it up and just had to mash pieces together in the pan because it kept falling apart when i rolled it out a billion times.)

also, mikah said she had no idea what i was talking about when i told her about the crumpled wax in the oven.  even though it was her handwriting....sneaky.
