Just Bizarre

The other day I decided to make myself a smoothie because I couldn't use the water to make my breakfast. (I use water to make oatmeal in case you are wondering, if you weren't wondering that's crazy, always wonder!) So, I was like, okay, I'll make a smoothie; I'll use a frozen banana, some frozen berries, and orange juice. First things first I thought I should defrost my banana so I go ahead and put the banana in the microwave to defrost it and I leave it alone. I go to the couch and sit at the edge of the couch because there's a heater there and I dry my hair in the morning by the wall heater. I left my hair dryer in Barrie and I just haven't replaced it. Okay, so I'm sitting there watching Barefoot and drying my hair when all of a sudden I see flames in the micorwave. I'm not talking about little sparks, I'm talking about an actual fire in the microwave. So, I start screaming to Dave, who is sound asleep and I leap off the couch and dart to the microwave to see what the heck is going on. I open the microwave door, take the flaming banana out and throw it under some running water. It was at this point that I started to shake, Dave was freaked out and shaking, and Twoberdoo's tale was puffed up. It's safe to say that we were freaked out. This all happend at 7:30 in the morning. Luckily no one was injured in this freak microwave accident.
If someone out there is a banana/microwave specialist it would be great if you could explain to me exactly what happened. It's safe to say that I'm not going to defrost bananas in the microwave EVER again.



Now that's crazy bananas!
