Very mad at myself. Somehow totally blanked and put these artichokes in the 450° oven in the plastic tray I was seasoning them in. Ruined dinner plans and had to evacuate while the toxic plastic smoke aired out >:'(

    No Artinopes for me please 🙁

  3. Oh my everdying grief, what the fuuuuuuck. Just found out that this curtain I rarely pull aside in my bedroom in the winter but did to air out the plastic smoke has grown mold from the condensation. Thick fucking gray mold. What the fuck. Nightmare of a night

    Me preheating the oven after my Mexican girlfriend cleaned the kitchen (obviously the oven is for storage)

    You and your girlfriend made it out alive and well—it truly is a gift in and of itself. Grateful you both handled it quickly and together, and that you’re still here. Update us when you try again, from a peruse of the comments you had awesome plans!

    The babysitter did this once. The fire department came, then the babysitter left, and my poor sweet husband scraped, scrubbed, and wore himself out getting all that plastic out of the oven.

    Without my glasses that looks like a small dog roasting.

    How does one even begin to clean this? Is the oven just a write off?

    Aha I baked a batch of biscuits for my mother and sister on WAX PAPER thinking it was parchment (hectic morning) and we had to open the windows run the fans and sit outside for like an hour. I can only imagine the toxic odor this artichoke mishap caused.

    I was half baked the other night and put a pizza in the oven with the plastic wrap on it still, it happens boss. Real bummer still, sorry for your loss

    The universe was looking out for you, friend. Found some potentially hazardous mold AND your steaks get an extra long brine time and therefore will be extra delicious. Happy thoughts, eh? 😅

    Tbh we are all over worked, over stressed, and trying to take things one day at a time. Don’t beat yourself up. Many times I’ve almost burned down my apartment!

    Control your smoke detectors because clearly they didn’t work properly

  19. Can I ask what the dinner plans were with one artichoke cut in half? Once you get past all the bs artichokes don’t have much edible stuff. Was it for dip or pull apart the leaves? Not throwing shade. Glad yall are ok and it sucks dinner is ruined but just curious.
