what: the oven
who: jenn
over this past week the kitchen has been a place of animosity. it started off on thursday when we went grocery shopping. as normal, i was distracted with the overwhelming amount of stuff that is in a grocery store but this week it was to our advantage. i discover a pizza dough ball in the bread section and decided we were gonna make a pizza for dinner. we went on shopping for everything we needed then headed home to start our first pizza! turns out the dough is a lot harder than i imagined it being to mold. rachel ray made it look like it just pressed right into the pizza pan. not the case here, it took forever to stretch it out and not rip it.
marsh finally took over and got the job done! then we piled on the spinach, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, and artichokes. in the pizza went and we waited.
ding! the timer went off and thats where the trouble began.
i went to grab the pizza out of the oven but pulled a "jenn" move instead. i say a "jenn" move because i am 100% accident prone and manage to hurt myself no matter what.
this time i apparently decided it would be a great idea to pull the pizza out of the oven without really opening the oven. thus my right arm hit the oven door. ssssssouch! that was my reaction (plus maybe a few tears, cmon it hurt!) i was left with a big red welp on my arm (shown below)
after icing it all night, it finally went down a bit. this is what i am left with now. attractive huh?
lesson learned: open the oven door ALL the way when trying to get something out!
Where: the Kitchen
What: Garbage Disposal
Who: undetermined
sunday i went to rinse off some dishes and run the garbage disposal but it wouldn't run. it made this dying noise until it fizzled out to silence. we hit the reset button and same thing happened again. weird, i thought, but then continued on my way cooking. later i was running water in the sink until i realized that it wasn't draining. oh great! marsh called the office and they said someone could come monday morning to check it out. so for the time being we had to just use the other side. not having a working sink drove me insane! luckily maintenance showed up this morning and fiddled around with the disposal. he said something was jammed in there, a fact i was unaware of because i didn't notice anything missing. plus i had look down there myself and didn't see anything out of the norm. that could of just been because i have no clue what's the "norm" for a garbage disposal. the guy fiddled around some more, joked that he found a diamond ring (luckily i was wearing mine so i knew it wasn't that!), but then brought up some metal. he said," i don't know what it is, something made out of metal. the garbage disposal won't eat metal though." i went over to check it out and discovered our beautiful wine stop in pieces on the counter! apparently it had slipped down there sometime without out either of us realizing! i was left feeling sad for our wine stop and quite silly for having let something like that happen. hey at least i don't have a scar to show for this mistake!
lesson learned: garbage disposal will flush down food but not metal!
i have recently learned a couple of lessons in the kitchen and felt it necessary to share these lessons. maybe i can stop someone from a silly or hurtful mistake! everyone probably already knows all this though but at least i can say i tried to share my knowledge! ;)
