Drinking and driving is dangerous, but drinking and cooking?

Let me tell you a story!!!! 

It was our turn to host Christmas.  We were having Andi’s family over.

Andi and I love hosting—planning the meal together, getting everything just right. She gets obsessed with all the little details.

We’re good hosts. Our guests usually leave happy and stuffed.

What we hadn’t planned for was a comedy sketch—a bit of unscripted dramatics, courtesy of Andi.

See, Andi is great at burning herself while getting things in and out of the oven. 

She’s also a pro at creating that smoky atmosphere…the kind that sets off the fire alarms.

Add a few glasses of festive cheer, and you’ve got a priceless moment none of us are ever going to let her forget.

Fire alarm goes off. Andi bolts into the living room, tea towel in hand, waving it frantically to stop the noise.

Everyone is watching her, wondering what on earth she’s doing.

And she’s wondering why the noise isn’t stopping.

Turns out, she was waving the tea towel at the light fixture.

Moral of the story:

👉🏻 Don’t let Andi near the oven at the same time as the wine.
👉🏻 If the fire alarm goes off, clear the smoke around the fire alarm, not the light fixture.
👉🏻 Be grateful the fire alarm works—and don’t forget to keep changing those batteries!

And that’s how Andi earned her holiday nickname: Smoke Show 🤣.
