Elaine’s Story

“I just HAD to tell you this one. It’s actually a story about my Mom. She was using a pressure cooker for potatoes. She got so busy talking to me, that the top exploded off the pressure cooker, and the ceiling was spattered with potato pieces. Even though it looked like she was about to pop a gasket herself, I burst out laughing! I laughed SO hard, she started laughing – then told me to get up on the counter and clean the mess!” Read More

I was in college with a small child and husband and we were expecting company. As always I was in a dither as to what to clean first and decided to make my job easy and just put all the dirty dishes in the oven. Read More

The picture to the left is entitled Melted Tupperware with Baked Grapes of Wrath.

I am very lucky that there was not a fire. Read More
