Good thing my fire extinguisher works!

So I was making cinna- mon rolls last night and couple minutes after I had put them in the oven I smell smoke, so I open the oven and there is a fire on the bottom.

I call Ivan over and we start blowing on it which doesn't help at all. We pull the buns out and the racks and we stare at the fire for a few minutes and it isn't getting any smaller.

Apparently the cheesy pasta I baked a couple days ago spilled grease all over the bottom of the oven and it's just burning away. Ivan even tried scooping burning bits of grease out and dumping them in a bucket of water but it's still going strong.

The smoke alarms are all going off by now so I pull out the mini fire extinguisher and give it one tiny squeeze. A huge gust blasts out of it, putting out the fire immediately and blowing bits of black stuff all over the kitchen. That thing is powerful!

I'm glad to know that it works and that things didn't end up like the scenario pictured above! ;)

After that I spent about 2 hours cleaning in around and under my stove. I discovered an entire muffin pan with the previous tenants name written on the bottom among other unmentionable disgustingness under that stove, gross!
