Asymptote and I were making french toast and syrup. Adventure number one; I decided to add cloves to the syrup to spice it up a little bit. Little did I know that this would change the properties of the syrup, so when it was boiling, and I looked away for a few seconds, it decided to boil up and over the edges of the pan. It went down onto the foil. It caught on fire, but it burned itself out fast. Normally, the syrup doesn't expand at all when it boils. Adventure number two; Asymptote sprinkles cinnamon directly on the french toast when she makes it. Once upon a time, too much came out, and there was cinnamon everywhere. Then the foil on the stove lit on fire. Don't worry, it didn't last long--the flame died quickly as well. Adventure one meets adventure 2; While I was trying to help Asymptote clean up the cinnamon, the syrup boiled over again.
Eventually we decided to be done cooking and eat. This was much less of a fire hazard.
At some point, Asymptote jokingly threatened to poke my eyes with her fork. I ran to my room and grabbed my safety goggles for chemistry lab, put them on, and finished my meal with them.
