Runaway Oven & #24

Last night I was cooking dinner {bacon wrapped hot dogs & baked ravioli}.  I check on the meal, and it wasn't quite done ~ so I added 5 more minutes to the timer & went on my way.  By the time the timer went off everything was smoking & burning..."oops," I thought, "I cooked it too long."  I pulled it out & shut off the oven.  As I'm getting the meal ready I notice the heating element is bright red.  I check.  The oven's off.  The element is still red.  The oven is REALLY hot.  REALLY REALLY hot.  It was, what the manual called, a runaway oven.
We now have a new one.

Book #24 ~ a great summer read, the last original wife by Dorothea Benton Frank.  Great story about the trophy wives of a group of people & the remaining first wife.  Funny, brave, sad, enjoyable.  Poignant in that a marriage must benefit all members and a family must work together and be honest, but really a light-hearted book.
