This is Wwwwaaine Gaaaayule!

They are showing Natural Born Killers on IFC. I love that frakin' movie. I've decided to only say "Frak" instead of "Fuck" because according to Batttlestar Gallactica, that's how they will swear in the future. And I want to be cutting edge.

Of course, I had many occasions to say Frak this evening, or this morning rather. I got home from K and N's around 1am, with N leaving around 1:45 or so. Right away I started making muffins to take to the housewarming of [livejournal.com profile] uterdic and [livejournal.com profile] smarbaby tomorrow. I mix a fabulous batter of corn and regular flour, canned and dried blueberries, and a yummy array of extracts. About five minutes early, it starts to smell done. It can't be done yet I think, as I filled the cups nice and full. Then the timer goes off, and my olfacotry sense assures me that i have burned my muffins. What's more, they have spilled all over the inside of the oven. I pull them out and they have caved in terribly (24 muffins mind you!) and not one is suitable for a guest to eat. Sad.

Just in case that wasn't bad enough, around 2:30 we decide to have some fries with the burgers I'm about to cook. Duh. Big Mistake. I fill up my apartment with a bunch of dark smoke and had to dissemble (or is it disassemble) the smoke detector. So guys, sorry I'm not bringing anything to the party. I suck. But beleive me when i tell you, you would not have wanted what I made. Anyone know how to go about cleaning the oven? I've never used a self-cleaning cycle before?

In other news, thanks to the anonymous person who gifted me 1 years paid LJ and 1 years paid userpics. My Lj is now paid thru Mar of 2007. That's really something. But don't anyone tell [livejournal.com profile] itches as last I heard, he had failed miserably in his attempt to solicit a wealthy benefactor to buy him some Lj time. He's cool, if you don't know him; and he writes fiction like all kind-hearted nut-jobs.

I think with the self cleaning ovens you just lock it and press clean. Then when it's over, if there is anything in there, wipe it out. But, I've only used it on a gas oven, dunno if yours is gas or electric.
Otherwise, I just use some vinegar and water :)

It's an electric oven, which I'm not very used to. I like gas. Although I had an electric oven at my old place, I never cleaned it.

I am all about the gas oven/stove. No spillover, etc.

But, if it's self cleaning then I think you just flip the switch :)

It might get the apartment kind of hot though. I remember we used to do the oven cleaning in the winter since it heated up so nicely :)

No ones loves me! Still a free plug is cool, and napalm has always worked well as an oven cleaner for me.

Really? Maybe I'll turn it on and go to bed. I asked over at [livejournal.com profile] food_porn as those people are crazy knowlegable.

Thanks!

That Battlestar Galactica is frakking cool cause they swear more than any other frakking show on frakking television and there's not a frakking bleep. And then occasionaly, folks actually frak on Battlestar Galactica. Sometimes people and synthetic people frak too. And there's lots of frakking automatic weapons fire.

I had a feeling you'd see it my way.
