Burn Betty Burn

An embarrassing, however very funny moment took place Sunday afternoon... Skyler was so nice and decided to make me Pot Roast in our slow cooker, So he gets out this Betty Crocker classic cookbook and puts it out on the stove, following each step. He had to leave for a couple hours and asked me to make sauce. Let it be known that I am notorious for turning on the wrong burner, the right side, but most of the time, the wrong one. So I turn on this burner and a few minutes later I'm standing in the living room and have this flash picture in my head of me turning on the front burner accidentally and instantly I smell burning. I run into the kitchen and there are little curls of smoke curling from under the precious Betty. My eyes got so wide, I don't know if I laughed first or had a small panic attack of potentially burning down our whole building. There was a small flame on the spine but luckly the sink was nearby. If this were any other of my cookbooks I would have cried, however I think she got what she had coming to her since alot of her stuff doesn't come out very good. So long Betty!
