only you can prevent waffle fires

Standing in the kitchen (sick again) staring at the omelet in the pan wondering why a person who can flip the thinnest of crepes can't seem to make an omelet.  I watch the cheese in the middle melt and seep out through the cooking egg waiting to attempt the doomed flip that turns omelets into scrambled every time. Now while I am intently staring at eggs, wishing my coffee cup was closer, thinking the pot looks suspiciously low for this time in the morning, realizing I need to blow my nose, and resenting the sound bites of Mr. R-Money coming through the ghost radio which flipped on this morning at 6:30 am waking Beach up way too soon for me, the toaster 6 inches away bursts into flames.  Curious really.  I thought the waffles I put in there on 250 were just warming.  Apparently warming into flames.  BC laughs, "I've done that before."  That doesn't make me feel better.  Beach from upstairs complains about the smell then offers "Mom, some waffle fires are just unavoidable."  Really?!?! I wonder about that..
