A few days ago I was preheating my oven to 450 degrees for some reason or another.

As I'm messing around in the kitchen, my eyes were suddenly drawn to a big orange flame... IN MY OVEN! (I suppose it needed a good scrubbing).

Anyway, I stood there looking at the flame trying to remember if it was flour or baking soda that made fire worse. I did not want to have to use the fire extinguisher in my oven. I think it was baking soda that makes it worse... but no, maybe it's flour because that seems more unlikely. Well maybe as long as I don't open the door it will just suffocate itself.... *STILL BURNING* well hell, I'll google it.... no that's stupid, there's no time for that... call the husband and ask him which one (flour or baking soda) makes the fire worse... *STILL BURNING*... ring, ring, no answer. Crap what if something in there blows up.... ok, I'm gonna use flour.... but what if it blows up.... oh crap, i really don't even know how to use the fire extinguiser, and it will be such a mess.... *and then the fire ran out of oxygen and just went out.*

So. that was my survival experience. Things I learned:

1. Flour makes the fire worse (google)
2. Learn to use a fire extinguisher
3. If u can't handle a small kitchen fire, how are you going to handle some disaster!
4. Clean the oven more often.
5. the fire WILL burn itself out if u don't give it oxygen.
