Burn, Baby Burn

That's what happened to my little black-eyed peas yesterday. I dumped them in a pot, turned the stove on high, and then walked Jack down to our neighbors to play. I meant to drop him off and come back to cook the peas, but I started talking. And talking. And talking for about an hour and a half before I remembered the little peas. I ran back to my house. Before I even opened the garage door, I smelled smoke. I ran into the house to find it completely filled with smoke. I opened all the doors and then called Amy to let her know my kitchen was still standing. She could see the smoke coming out of the doors all the way from her house. So now, my house absolutely STINKS! And not just stinks like I burned something in the kitchen. It stinks like someone has smoked in this house for a year. Or 5 years. I've washed, mopped, Lysol-ed, vacuumed, and on and on. And it still stinks.
