Health, Food, Gross and Cooking: It's toasted

It's toasted

Today, I opened the preheated oven to discover the chicken casserole I made last week is now sludge. The freshly toasted maggots are scattered all over the oven. I took the casserole out, but didn't have my glasses on to see the maggots before placing the pan of biscuits inside. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went to put a lasagna in the oven for dinner. I was greeted by a revolting scent of a chicken-soup and biscuits boxed dinner. The fridge apparently was too full for my brother to put it away inside, so he covered it up and forgot about it in the oven. We made that dinner two weeks ago. FML.

Today, I found maggots in the ketchup on my sausage. Too bad I had already eaten half of it. FML

Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML

Today, I found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead-mouse water for the past week. FML

Today, I made a delicious casserole for dinner. Just as I was about to serve it, a bowl fell from the cupboard above, exploded on the counter and made it rain tiny, sharp glass shards on my food. I can't pick them all out. FML

Today, I baked a chicken pot pie in the oven. I pulled it out, and noticed a big piece of tasty-looking, flaky pastry had come loose. Without thinking I ripped it off and popped it into my mouth. I HEARD the skin on the inside of my cheeks burn. FML

Over unready

Today, I finally found our big casserole in the attic. Once the food was all nicely layered into it, I realized why it had been in the attic. It doesn't actually fit into our standard-sized oven. By a few millimeters. FML

Today, I was feeling down and decided to eat one of my roommate's chocolate Pop-Tarts to cheer myself up. I took a big bite and thought it tasted "off". It was full of live maggots. FML

Today, I was preparing food in the microwave. I hadn't noticed that a fly had flown in until I noticed its melted corpse engraved into my hot-pocket. FML

Today, I went to throw out the garbage outside. I noticed at the bottom of my can was a lot of rice. I was angry at my brother for making a mess. As I went to clean it up, the rice moved. It wasn't rice, it was maggots. FML

I think there might be some serious problems with how you live every aspect of your life.

I put a painting in the oven to let it dry without my cats stomping all over it, forgot about it, and went to make something one day and smelled something burning before I realized what it was. Luckily it looks like it just toasted the back and didn't damage the work (I made it so it's not worth any money anyway). Sometimes we just forget things

Let's just hope maggots like biscuits! That is the point of this story, right?

You left food in the oven for a week? That doesn't seem to surprise you but the maggots do? I think you should reassess your life.

How the hell do you possibly forget you have something in the oven...? And why weren't you wearing your glasses? My mother refuses to wear hers and then complains that she can't see anything... seriously, wear the damn things. Sounds like you shouldn't be using an oven. Next thing you'll do is burn the house down.
