Twenty-two Days



In the process of cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for my In-Laws, the wounded count as:

1) Espresso Machine that now trips its GFI plug AND the circuit breaker
2) Clogged kitchen sink drain
3) Stove exhaust fan turning itself on and off at will
4) One kitchen drawer front forcibly removed
5) One self-shattering Pyrex pie plate (see Day Seventeen)

Not bad...

1. Faulty GFI receptacle (outlet). Replace.

2. Clogged sink? Run disposal? Buy a plunger?

3. Some fans have heat sensors that trigger them on/off.

4. Wouldn't open? Sounds like it is binding. Check glides and rails.

5. Next time don't set directly on hot burner. Buy new pie plate.
