Um. ...I need help. I tried to make cookies, because I read somewhere that people do that, sometimes, you know, at Christmastime.

...is the oven supposed to be smoking...? Because that wasn't in the recipe...

	The oven is not supposed to be smoking. ~~I know this from personal experience~~ Is there a fire extinguisher anywhere nearby? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh no...so I ruined them :( ~~What's a~~ What does one of those look like...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is likely, but cooking is a difficult task. I am comfortable admitting I have not mastered it myself. It's an object that is red, cylindrical, there's a hose attached, it is used to put out fires. You'll want one near by if you're going to be cooking. I keep the same thing in mind, just in case. Was there a fire at all in this particular case? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was supposed to be a class...but I didn't know when it started and I just wanted to try because it looked very easy on the instructions. Oh! Yes, there is one of those. What do I do with it? ...it's pretty bright inside there...should I open it and look? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't believe that Mary has begun the classes yet. I intend on attending them as well. Get it out and sit it close by, should you need it. First thing you should do is turn the oven off if you have not done that already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay, yes, there is fire. I closed the door again...how do you work this extinguisher thingie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 04:27 am UTC (link)
	There is a pin that you pull, and then you point the front and squeeze the back end. There are instructions on the back of the fire extinguisher. Please be careful, no one wants you to get hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...is it supposed to make a huge, white mess...? Or did I do that wrong, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 04:45 am UTC (link)
	It does make a huge white mess, but it puts the fire out. Are you all right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm fine, thank you for helping. My cookies aren't, though, and the whole room is smokey ~~and hurting my nose and lungs but~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're welcome. Opening the window, if there is one, will help with the smoke, I believe.

There should also be a fan knob above the stove that you can turn on. This should help a bit as well?

Cooking is difficult, the fact that you did not cause any physical harm to the stove is a good thing. I cannot boast the same feat myself. The first time I attempted to cook I damaged the pan with which I was attempting to cook.

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:55 am UTC (link)
	But it's very cold outside... I found the fan, though, thank you! I'm okay with the stove, I just make noodles. But I did burn my hand the first time, touching the pan by accident. I'm sticking to the noodles. And the cereal I think it's called. I can't mess up cereal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Yes, but you would not have to leave the window open. Opening it up for a few minutes would have helped, but the fan should do the trick well enough. You're already better than I am. Until you can take the class it might be best to do that. My husband and I order out a good deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Oh, well I'll try that, too, then for a minute or two. The fan isn't working so well. It is a little but... I don't have any money. Except when Abby takes me places sometimes and she buys. I just make things I can find in the complex kitchen...well, things that can go in the microwave mostly. Or don't need any heat at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:12 am UTC (link)
	I believe it will help. ~~You're here all alone, save for some friends~~ You should come to dinner some time. Here, that is. While I am not skilled at cooking, Jacen is not bad at it and sometimes we order things as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:14 am UTC (link)
	It did. It's a little cold in here but that won't last long, right? Really? ~~But I haven't talked to Allana since~~ Are you sure...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:16 am UTC (link)
	No, it shouldn't. Once the window is closed it should warm back up quickly. Really. I'm positive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Okay, that's good. Um...I'd really like to, Mrs. Solo, and I appreciate your inviting me but...well, do you speak sign language? Because I can't talk...and I'd feel rude... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:28 am UTC (link)
	No, I do not speak sign language, but I learn rather quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Really? You'd do that just so I could come have dinner? That's really nice of you! ~~Does Allana care if I come?~~ If you learn the alphabet, I could just spell things...I'm really good at the alphabet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:36 am UTC (link)
	I would, yes. I think that learning the alphabet can be done with relative ease. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, the alphabet is really easy. For words, there's always Youtube. I learned a lot by watching people sign songs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jediqueen 2011-12-19 05:39 am UTC (link)
	I will certainly be looking things up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 05:40 am UTC (link)
	You're the best, Mrs. Solo, thank you so much! :) If I hadn't ruined these cookies...I'd make sure I sent some over. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	wingleader 2011-12-19 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I so did that before! Warning, it's going to smell horrible for at least a week. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	wingleader 2011-12-19 04:18 am UTC (link)
	There's videos on youtube, Terry showed me when I pretty much left the entire floor smelling bad. They can teach you how to cook all kinds of things. ~~Not as good as my mom's, but~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Terry showed you?! UGH! I HATE YOU! I'll check it out, I should have thought of that... It helps with sign language anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wingleader 2011-12-19 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Is sign language hard to learn? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Um...some of it. Some of it is easier. Jimmy seemed to be picking it up all right and Abby says I'm doing really well so, maybe it's not that hard. Then again, I can hear. Mostly I think sign language is for people who can't hear, so I bet it's harder to learn that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wingleader 2011-12-19 04:39 am UTC (link)
	My brother is blind, but he functions really well. Always wondered about that, though. When we were reading about that girl, Helen Keller? I mean, she was deaf and blind, too. How do you explain what something is to someone without being able to show them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:41 am UTC (link)
	~~I've never heard of~~ I don't know how anyone could learn that way... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wingleader 2011-12-19 05:17 am UTC (link)
	http://www.afb.org/section.asp?SectionID=1&TopicID=129 Here. I don't know if it'll help you actually learn it at all, but it is a really interesting story. Iggy went through a whole phase where she was his role model and he wanted to be just like her. Never mind that he could at least hear and had super senses too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You okay? Anyone show up yet to help with that smoke? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	onlythreedays 2011-12-19 04:38 am UTC (link)
	I'm okay. Allana's mom talked me through putting out the fire but there's a huge mess... I don't know if I did it right. Well, the fire's out so I did something right but, you know... ~~He doesn't like it when you talk, so shut up~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2morrowknight 2011-12-19 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Good. Hey, don't worry about it. Cooking is hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My grandmum's famous cookies. I'm going to bake you lot some. And then an offer to teach either of you too. My grandmum taught me a lot back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think I've ever actually had cookies, which is why I wanted to try making them so that's great! :) I would love that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, Ariel, you need to try these cookies, then. I'm going to have to bake some beforehand so you know what you're looking forward to. Wicked! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
