A Griswald Thanksgiving

Matt's mother and I decided to cook Thanksgiving dinner together this year. Initially all things were going well until I came downstairs and discovered billows of smoke. Perplexed I could smell burning plastic I then discovered Matt's mother accidentally turned on the burner with a plastic container sitting on it. Alarmingly Matt's mother thought it would be a good idea to leave the burner on and let the plastic "burn away". Unfortunately this was not a good plan of action and I had to utilize pliers to pry the plastic off of our stove top. Luckily the firemen were not needed.
