Erika (from I’m Free!) and I were discussing decisions, and what to cook for dinner. By some strange twist of fate, I had taken a photo of my cooking this evening. Last year was a pasta-free year, but this afternoon I decided to be a rebel and indulge.
So here is my dinner decision for today: pasta, cream and vegetables! With salad. (I’m feeling kinda shy at sharing such a personal photo, lol!)
Today I’m on fire. I’ve had a slow cooker cooking today, and this evening I put one of the hot plates on by mistake. Not realizing the cord of the slow cooker was on the plate. My laptop power tripped and when I looked towards the kitchen, I saw red flames. My reaction was a bit delayed. I stood looking at the fire thinking to myself, there’s a fire. In slow motion. Now what? Okay, calm. Fire. Calm. Put. Out. Fire.
I grabbed a tea towel and fortunately the fire was small enough for me to put out with a tea towel.
My reaction was very similar to a time when my daughter aged three, nearly drowned. She was submerged, and I was two swimming lanes away from her. My mind went into slow motion. Daughter. Underwater. Drowning. Save daughter. I waded across calmly and yanked her out. Just in time.
Dinner is nearly ready?
