Speaker A
Last summer I came across a bag of stale tortilla chips. To revive them, I decided to toss them

into the toaster oven. I guess I must have set the temperature wrong because they burnt
to a crisp very quickly. When after 10 minutes I saw one of them going up in flames, I thought
that the fire-plus-electrics combo was really bad news. I freaked out and immediately opened
the toaster oven to prevent a catastrophe. Yet, it didn't occur to me that I'd be letting in way
more oxygen, and the flames exploded out of the oven. Fortunately, I kept my head and tossed
the whole tray into the sink. The oven glove I was wearing was only slightly singed, but
the food was ruined.
Speaker B
It was our wedding anniversary so I decided to surprise my wife and came up with the idea of
making steaks in cognac. Even though I'd repeatedly proved to be all thumbs in the kitchen,
I knuckled down to the new challenge. I started frying the fillets and got the cognac ready.
However, when I was pouring the liquor into the pan, I got really heavy-handed, and the alcohol
caught fire, creating a very impressive volcano effect. The roaring fireball was so big that it
was sucked up into the vent fan over the stove, set the filter on fire and melted the plastic fan
blades. My wife got alarmed by the peculiar smell drifting up from the kitchen and rushed in
from the garden. I guess she was afraid that I'd aggravate the situation so she grabbed the fire
extinguisher and sprayed everything, including the would-be steaks.
Speaker C
Last month, I bought a spit roast attachment for my charcoal grill. Anxious to try out my new
gadget, I placed a few pieces of pork on the skewer and positioned it over the drip pan. Content
that everything was well, I retreated to the house. Thirty minutes later, I heard what sounded
like rain, so I went outside to check that it wasn't raining too hard, only to find my entire
backyard engulfed in flames. It turned out that the sound I thought was rain was actually
the popping sound of coals falling on the ground and igniting a backyard full of pine needles.
A garden hose which had caught fire was making things worse as it had spread the flames
to wooden chairs on the lawn. To put the fire out, I desperately chopped off the part of the hose
that was on fire so that I could use what was left to soak everything else. Obviously, the dinner
was wasted but I managed to prevent further disaster.
