Nuked Kaaju Katli

So, as I was saying. I set fire to my microwave the other day. My roommate, having received a fresh box of kaaju katli from somewhere, promptly dispatched it to the refrigerator. If there is one thing I don't like - thats eating mithai from the refrigerator. It becomes all hard and .. well .. just loses a large chunk of its value to me. So when I was in a KaajuKatli eating mood, I took out 2 pieces and wrapped them in a paper towel and kept them in the microwave for 5 seconds. Just 5 seconds mind you.
Little did my brain contend that the thin wafer of silver thats on this kind of mithai is actually metal .. that shouldnt be put into the microwave. It sparked. The sparks set the paper tissue on fire. I was blissfully unaware of anything. I opened the microwave after the beep and put my hand inside to retrieve the rejuvenated pieces of delicious mithai. Instead I ended up yelling 'my microwave is on fire!!!!' (I was on the phone at that time). The other person was like 'Whattt???' I blew on the stupid thing to try and blow it out. Nope .. nothing doing. I thought about taking pictures while the stuff was on fire .. but wisely decided against it. The fire was limited to on the top of the rotating glass thingy inside the microwave, but it could spread and who knows what burning microwaves can do. A few careful splashes of h2o did the trick.
So anyways .. here are the results. If I were a disshevelled artist I am sure any Museum of Art would gladly accept my entry.
