Random fact: The scent of burnt buns has a very long life cycle.

I burned burger buns that I set to warm on the toaster nore than two and a half hours ago. The scent is still going strong. I opened the windows (only for a while because it's really cold out there). I set the kitchen extractor fan. It endures. The burn persists.

I'm sure this is parable-worthy.

"And so it came to pass that the foolish woman who failed to monitor her buns while they rested atop her toaster was plagued by the scent of charcoal for four full moons. And she did regret her life choices. And she did wail, 'why me?' But nothing would free her from the smell of burnt bread because the touch of fire endures...

"And so she turned to the children of Adam and said, 'Children do not let your buns rest on toasters unless you watch them close. For it is written that the line between warm toasty goodness and burnt dread is finer than a single hair on this poor woman's head."

And the children nodded, and they heeded her warning, and they ate many happy meals.

Be sure not to over-nuke popcorn or the parable will be Biblical. πŸ˜†
