Day three of SBD; only a small grease fire

The diet continues and neither Lori or I have gone astray. :) We have both been eating exactly what we should and not going around hungry. It is really a healty diet and I feel better when on it. I am not sure why I did not stay on it last time. Oh yeah, lazy and "I loves me chicken wings and beer."

Tonight we had broiled sirloin steak. Lori likes her's well done, so I took mine out of the oven at about 4 minutes and she wanted her's left in there. "Ok, you take over from here," I said as I fixed my plate with broiled grape tomatoes- hey don't knock them, they were delish.

Anyway as I am almost ready to sit down with my plate of food, I hear "Oh, mine is on fire!" Great, I look over to the oven and there are small flames shooting up from the pan inside and when she opened the door of course there then was an abundance of O2 and those flames shot way up. So we quickly planned what to do- I was going to open the oven, grab the flaming dinner and put the whole thing in the sink where we could work on it safely. So, I opened it, the flames shot up again and I grabbed and it worked as planned. I grabbed the tongs and removed Lori's steak from the inferno- "just like I like it!" she yelled. The grease on the pan itself was burning and we first were going to just let it burn out, but the black smoke started and we thought we better put it out. Lori said "Don't put water on it," so I said "let me just try" and sprayed a light spray at the edge of the fire and it started to get bigger. Then she said "baking soda should do it" as she reached for the Arm & Hammer. To which I grabbed a different box that was already open and threw a handful on and out it went.

What fun we had. :) Actually, yes it was fun and we had a great dinner to boot. Day three of the diet is now in the books.
