yet another update..and a crazy explosion!


I'll tell you the good stuff first..lol

2 nights ago, 2 friends of mine were heading out after work and asked me to join them. I declined. I'm super sociable but I just didn't feel like going home to change and stuff.
ANYWAY...they ended up going to Flemings, a higher end steak house where my -in-law had recently sent his resume. Turns out, one of the girls knows someone who works there and they met the manager. The manager picked up their tab. When she told me this..i said..CALL HIM!! lol

I told her that Kev is trying to get a job there and thats when she told me about her friend as well who's been there several years. Well...not 2 seconds later her friend called her to ask her status because the manager was interested in her. He had started the conversation with...''I have business to talk with you.'' lol She said no thanks and then said...''ok it's my turn, i have buisiness to talk with you'' And she proceeded to tell him about my in law and gave his name..etc and the guy asked what he does. I said he's a soux chef. The guys says...we're looking for a soux chef right now.

Sooooooooooooo..hopefully he'll pass the information on to his boss. Kev is going to call there on Monday to follow up.

OH...my was here for 5 days and looked at houses and found one she loves. Kev doesnt want to follow through until he sees it. I told him i'd buy him a ticket to come here overnight or for 2 days to interview and check out the house. I'm praying that his all works out in good timing.
Thanks to everyone for praying...keep it up..it's not over yet. lol

ok...now the explosion. The other day when my was still here, i was about to make soup. I started the pan, put some oil in and then cut onions. I had just stirred it with a Metal spoon, turned to get the garlic and heard a big BOOOM ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP zzzzzzzzz. I high tailed it and then thought..i can't let my kitchen burn down. I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye and thought the oil caught fire but i had just started the stove.

I turned back and there was no fire..i was confused for a second. My was like..HOLY C, R, A, P!!!!!! She said there was a HUGE white blast with a bunch of little blue flashes that filled the kitchen.
WELLLL...what happened..I turned to shut off the stove and i went to take the pan off the burner and it was stuck. I yanked it off. There was a hole blasted in the burner coil with melted edges and the silver collar around the burner had a hole and there was a hole in the middle of the pot. A big old soup pot..with a hole blasted in it!! CRAZY!! Ya know how you can take the burner out and replace it? Well it's welded in there now. It scared the bajeezus outta me. LOL

Now..it's 3 days later and i have all the stuff to make soup and I'm scared to start the stove on another burner..but I'm daring like that..i'll let you know how it goes. LOL
