Musings of a Holly-Homemaking GLAMour-PUSS....

[mistressfreyja]

My fire detector has been on hyper-drive everytime I boil eggs or the kettle.

Hmmm...I decided I would clean the burners and wrap in aluminum foil. One side was fine.

However, the other 2 burners on the right were not that dirty, but OMFG. The pan underneath them was coated in a super viscous molasses-like RESIN. I had to wipe it out and then throw out the rags. Finally, some ZEP and hot water....(and GLOVES), and the glamorous moment was finally over.

Seriously, how do people not notice these things?????

Well, frankly, I'm glad that they don't or didn't. How else would we get to hear about the musings of Holly Homemaker? Not to minimize your pain, but it's fucking funny to read and thank you for it. I, for one, had no idea that a fresh battery was the answer to my fire detector chirping. Thanks to your question and PG's logical input, I do now.

thanks for the morning chuckle,

eddie

I usually wait untill little fires break out under the element and then only clean after the steak is cooked.

You didn't think this through did you? Now there won't be any young firefighters knocking on your door with their hoses out.

Clearly, I didn't give it ANY thought at all.

I should have been armed with a cute dress, big smile, and a camera!

It can't get much better than in Monterey though. (Unless they actually were running in slo-mo into my house, wielding hoses, with 'Chariots of Fire' magically playing from nowhere!) They actually WERE putting out a fire (not just mine), and completely dressed in gear, beginning to unload. I got a picture in between them and their sooty coats in my white sundress.

Gawd I love firemen.

You boys are too funny!

Those claiming I might be a little OCD according to my cleanliness/tidyness/orderliness status....no comment. I like it that way, though. We have enough garbage in life, not to bring it around physically with us!!! (Hoarders???? omg.)

I think heels, rubber gloves, and an apron sounds really hot too, but I would also enjoy wielding a wooden spoon! That was my spanking implement! My mom never warmed me up first, though. She would whack me a couple of good times, and then feel badly. haha
ALso, I have found whisks to be incredible for nipple torture. Just insert nipple, slide nipple down into narrows.....and turn.....

Eddie, you're making fun of me, and it's hilarious I won't even tell you about my pilot light.....at least not in print. hee hee.

Don't the Burner Grates and Pan come out? On my stove they do, and they go into the dishwasher once a week.

There are 2 types of fire detector - one type detects smoke/steam and is probably what you have, they are a pain if they are in or near a kitchen or bathroom. The other type detects heat and is what should be used in or near a kitchen or bathroom. http://www.ehow.com/how_4919_choose-install-smoke.html

Great. Party at Al's!
