Fire!!! Fire!!!

I live on the 18th floor of a 23 floor condominium building. The fire alarm has gone off twice so far today and 5 times this month. The first one was an actual fire. The elevators shut down as they were supposed to do and I walked 18 floors down the stairs. When I got to the first floor, I just went to my car and went grocery shopping. Nothing like a fire to get you out of the house to do what you keep putting off. When I got back about an hour later I only had to wait a few minutes to catch the elevator.

Since the actual fire, I haven't really paid much attention to the alarms. I stood at the window and watched the people watching me. They probably don't know I have a highly developed sense of smell and I know nothing is burning. By the way, don't try this at home or anywhere else.

Here's my food experiment for today. I pretty much do all my cooking in a stainless steel frying pan. It's easy to clean. Put a can of salmon in the frying pan (remove the can first). Add two cups of V8 juice, one cup of water and some curry powder. Bring it to a boil and add two packages of semi-crushed Ramen noodles. Turn the stove down to simmer and go watch tv. Don't get to comfortable because it will be ready in about 5 minutes. This is one of those dishes that's better if it's given time to "rest". My nephew taught me about "resting" food. It just seems to help some food. I'm not sure any of you will think that this concoction could get enough "rest".
