Yes. I did. I almost burnt the house down. HOWEVER, the fault was not mine alone. See my husband has this gross little habit. He fries eggs. In a cast iron pan. THEN he saves the pan, grease and all, YUCK. I can't stand to look at it, so I always stick it under the stove (we have an older stove where the bottom drawer isn't really a drawer, it's like a warmer or something) SO generally when I use the oven I take out that nasty little pan. Yesterday, I forgot. I blame it on my mommy brain-if your a mom you know what I am talking about. I also blame my husband, for even having this pan in the first place. I was making the girls DINO NUGGETS, they love these from costco. All of the sudden my kitchen is full of black smoke. I was freak'n out! I grabbed Holden stuck him in the saucer put him outside, grabbed Jos and Keke and said "you get to babysit bubba! They loved that. And THEN I called to my husband! AARON.....he comes in the kitchen so casual. He opens the bottom drawer, FLAMES EVERYWHERE! He just grabs the baking soda and then the fire was out. "GA BABE, you trying to burn the house down?" Are you kidding me right now? NO I am not trying to burn the house down, I am trying to make lunch for the girls-I forgot about the pan. He was amused, clearly I was not. On a good note, the egg pan is D O N E. On a bad note, NONE of our smoke detectors worked, and we didn't own a fire extinguisher.
DO you get "mommy brain"? Do you own a fire extinguisher? When was the last time you checked your smoke detectors?

I do have mommy brain also! However, I do have to admit that I have a fire extinguisher in the pantry and my smoke detectors work (everytime my stove lets off a little smoke it tests itself). I do have to sadly admit that finding the baking soda in my spice cabinet would not by very easy.. ooops.
