Aunt B.--sure would be appropriate--your cookbook--where I live! Love to you,

n

Dinner is ready when the smoke alarm goes off.

,

Maybe I should loan you my cookbook:

" Dinner is Ready When the Smoke Alarm Goes Off " :~P

Actually it was put out by the Ladies Auxiliary of a volunteer fire

department--bright yellow cover with a girl in a fire suit holding a water

hose.

Every time I opened the oven door, the smoke alarm would go off. It went off

so often it became a joke. Oh, there's the smoke alarm---dinner must be

ready! LOL Finally had to move the darned smoke alarm further away from the

stove!

I am very glad no one was hurt and hope they replace the cooker soon.

Love,

Aunt B

B, this is too funny!

When I was visiting my daughter at Christmas, her roommate (le)

put some soup on the stove to heat. Within minutes, the smoke alarm

went off. le quickly grabbed a dish towel and a chair, placed

the chair under the smoke alarm and climbed aboard madly waving the

dish towel to clear the smoke away from the alarm.

After the annoying, ear-shattering screeching stopped, Danille

climbed down from the chair muttering, " You'd think we'd learn by now

not to use that burner! "

Apparently, that one particular burner, for whatever reason, makes

the smoke alarm go off. There isn't any grease or food particles on

it or under it, it just happens. I asked why they even use that

burner if it always makes the alarm go off.

She said, " Well, ya think we'd learn not to, wouldn't you because

it's been happening since we moved in. But it's the closest burner

and it's just habit. "

(But reaally, it doesn't matter -- I've seen the results of her

cooking!) =

My best friend growing up had an aunt that their whole family had dubbed " Turn

it on high, Loraine. " Her personal motto for cooking was " If it's smoking, it's

cooking; if it's burnt, it's done, " !

We as children found this totally hilarious. Now as an adult with four kids, I

can understand the want to hurry dinner along a bit.
