I caught my sausage on fire this morning

[kellymch2006]

Yep, I teach at a middle school and we were doing some testing today. So, I ran upstairs and stuck my Jimmy Dean sausage in the microwave and left for hall duty. I figured I'd grab it when I got back from duty before I went to pick up my testing supplies.

I was in the hall chatting with my AP when the doors all automatically closed and the fire alarm went off. We evacuated the school and when we got the All Clear, she came up to me and told me that my sausage had caught on fire.

The whole eighth grade wing smelled like burnt sausage and melted plastic all day.

And I didn't get my breakfast, darn it.

Re: I caught my sausage on fire this morning

lol - i opened hoping there was a picture...

I remember when my son had tried to nuke pancakes in my moms microwave in her basement (he was 4ish at the time) and my mom, my son, and i were upstairs and smelled smoke... went in the basement and all you could see was smoke, i remember screaming, "what's on fire?!!Mom! Somethings on fire down here! I can't see anything!!" And, after the initial panic was over I realized the microwave was running...

I have no idea how long he put it on for or how many minutes/hours it had been running, but the pancakes had become a hard solid black rock and teh glass turntable in the microwave was shattered...

It was scary.

I feel your pain.

Doing something like that is bad enough by itself, but to have the whole school involved must have been so embarrassing! I'm glad it all turned out alright for you! Thanks for sharing.

Re: I caught my sausage on fire this morning

I'll remember not to put Jimmy Dean in my microwave....poor guy, and the worst part was you didn't get breakfast.....

You do realize this is something you'll never live down.....hope you have a yearbook that someone puts something in about the smoking sausage.....

From now on, take 2 sausages for breakfast...you never know when you'll need a backup.

Actually, Jimmy Dean is good from the microwave. I buy those fully cooked patties, microwave them, break them into pieces.

then I crack a couple of eggs over it and microwave it again, stirring frequently. A little sausage and scrambled egg bowl. Add some cheese if you want. It's really good.

But, yeah, I took egg salad for breakfast all week last week. I don't want to touch the microwave.
