Melted Mallows

You know that metal vent-looking thing at the back of the stovetop? 

Turns out it doesn't just sit there doing nothing. It is a vent for the oven. And when you use the oven it heats up. And melts your bag of marshmallows. 

So I was making this delicious, brownie, marshmallowey goodness tonight that I saw on pinterest.

I had just barely put the marshmallows on it, and I put the bag of mallows on the stove top that wasn't being used. 

A few minutes later the dessert was done baking, so David and I started cleaning up, and that's when we found this.

The bottom of the bag and the mallows there had melted onto/into the oven vent. 

My fingers will probably be sticky for the next week from cleaning this up. 

Jokes

Talking about Valentines Day:

David: "I'm getting you something but it's small."
Amanda: "I know."
David: "I mean, like, really small."
Amanda: "Like a tiny little diamond?"
*laughter*

Manda's got jokes. 

Engineering

It is really common in engineering to take a dog bone shaped piece of material, pull on it, and figure out it's stiffness. We were talking about it in my composites class today and this happened.

Teacher: "Why is it a dog bone?"
Class: "So when the stress concentrations build appear it fails in the middle rather than at the ends."
Me: "Uhh, because it looks like one..."

Toothpaste

I brushed my teeth this morning before David. He went to brush his teeth later and couldn't find the toothpaste.

David: "Amanda, where's the toothpaste?"
Me: "I dunno, why?"
David: "I'm about to brush my teeth and you were the last one to use it."
Me: "I remember using it this morning." *starts rummaging around the cupboard below the sink* "I didn't leave the bathroom. I don't know where I put it!"

We look in all the normal-ish places for a few minutes.

Me: "We have an extra. Just use it."
David: "Okay. The old one was almost empty anyways."
Me: "It was more than halfway full, but thanks for trying to make it better."

Two hours later...

Me: "I FOUND THE TOOTHPASTE!"
David: "Where?"
Me: "In with the q-tips. I didn't even use q-tips this morning!"
