Oops. I accidentally caused a minor conflagration in my toaster oven today when I took my eyes off some would-be pita chips for just a tad too long. Luckily, I’ve been classically trained in such emergency situations, and I knew to simply unplug the toaster oven and just sit there while the fire raged on quietly, destroying what could have been a wonderful display of pita goodness. It was a rare display of calm by me, as I’ve been prone to get all sorts of cowardly in the face of impromptu fires (and yes, I made sure to have my flour handy just in case things got out of hand). The good news is that aside from some dark residue on the oven door, there didn’t seem to be much by way of damage. Nevertheless, this is an unfortunate blight on what was otherwise quite a perfect batch of pita chips.
