Disaster Kitchen: Discoveries this evening.

[caffienekitty]

First discovery: If I have something approximating the ingredients I can make a batch of cookies (well, a batch of cookie, singular, since this batch also amoeba'd like a previous impulse batch did) with no recipe at all in about half an hour.

Second discovery: Trying to get said cookies to 'firm up' from hot oozy goo into a solid of some kind by turning the broiling element up to high is not a good plan, especially when I subsequently turn around, get distracted and forget to set a timer.

Third discovery: The smoke alarm in this apartment doesn't work. At all. No flames, but a LOT of smoke, and not a peep from it. I should probably do something about that.

Yeah, you probably ought to get a new smoke alarm (or your landlord should, if you're renting). Test the batteries first, though.

Broilers must be used with caution, I have learned.

I'm guessing the prior tenant probably didn't change the battery. Half the bulbs in this place were burnt out when I moved in.
