Oops! My lunch almost caused a catastrophe

OK - a little extreme....I have half a leftover Moe's chicken and rice burrito from dinner last night and have been looking forward to it all morning. I put it in the toaster over at 350 degrees and went down to the store in the lobby for a Diet Pepsi. When I got back up to my floor, I smelled something burning. I thought, "oh...I hope that's not my burrito..." I go into the break room and the oven is open and my burrito is on the counter.

The girl who sits next to me said the charred funk on the bottom of the oven (people never clean up their spills) caught ON FIRE! She had to douse the flames. She saved my burrito and I was able to heat it in the microwave. But the poor thing, she said her heart was pounding. And of course, the smell of charred funk is everywhere.

But, my burrito is really yummy!!!! Yeah, Moe's!
 
"Save the burrito!!"

I LOVE Moe's!!! My DH calls their burritos "Doobie" burritos after Cheech & Chong! He always gets his loaded to where they have a hard time closing it!:9
 
OK first of all Donna, quit making me hungry. You're always making my mouth water like 2 hours before I go to lunch!

Second, I think you have got to have the record for most original posts about food on this forum. I am recommending you quit your job & start your own food show b/c you must be an expert by now! You'd blow Rachel Ray out of the water! :p
 
Well, that's a good suggestion. But there's only one problem. I can't cook for sh**. I'd be lost without Shake n' Bake and Shells n Cheese.

(kidding - I don't eat either of those)
 
Nothing wrong w/that. Start a cooking show for people who can't cook (as in ME!). I could use the advice. :p
 
OK - that's easy. The first show will focus on Take-Out. The second show will focus on not using the office toaster oven to heat your leftovers.
 
Cool! Hey wait--you have a toaster oven in your office? Wow, you guys got it good! :D

Can show 3 be about "Tasty Microwaveables?" ;-)
