Next time I'll turn the lights on first.

The other night after I had put the kids to bed I sat down to watch some TV.  It was around 10:30 pm and I was hungry, so I decided to cook myself a frozen pizza.  This is not something I normally do, but it sounded good at the time.  I had bought a 3 pack of the Home Run cheese pizzas - they have really good tasting crust even though they are flat and dense looking. 

Not wanting to take any unnecessary steps because I am lazy turn on the lights, I preheated the oven in the dark with the exception of the nightlight built into the refrigerator.  I pulled out the stone and placed the pizza on it.  Once the oven was preheated, in went the pizza.  

When the timer went off I checked on the pizza and thought it looked kind of odd so I let it cook a little longer.  Five minutes later it still looked strange so I thought I had better turn the kitchen light on to see what the problem might be.  

I flipped the light on, went over to the pizza and realized this whole time I had been cooking the pizza up-side-freakin'-down.  I kid you not.  But I wasn't about to let it go to waste.  It still tasted normal but with an extra crispness of cheese.  

UGH!
