So my bedtime snack was going to be a small bag of popcorn. I ended up over cooking it. Badly. So I decided to toss it and start a new bag. This time I was staying with it just to make sure it didn't burn. Oh we are a ll glad I did. The smell of bur popcorn made me turn on the stove fan. A minute later the smell gets drastically worse and I look over to see smoke coming out of the paper bag we use as our garbage bag. I immediately pick it up and carry it outside and toss the popcorn bag onto the walkway. Bad idea. Right underneath is a paper towel which suddenly bursts into orange embers. I calmly rush inside and grab a large cup of water and head back out to dump it on it. In the mean time despite the rain the embers continue to grow. I then head back in and grab a large pitcher of water rush back out and tear the bag open and drown it. Repeat that times 3 just to be safe and embers are gone. The house isn't on fire and now I have to clean up a pile of garbage outside in the dark and in the rain. Oh this late night snack so wasn't worth it.
On the bright side the 2nd bag of popcorn came out perfectly.
