Reminder to self:
When baking store-bought frozen pie shells or any other aluminum-ware which has those tiny holes on the bottom, *always* place them on a baking sheet!!
Oil dripped out from the holes to the bottom of my oven and caused horrible smoky fumes. Since the pies weren't finished baking, I thought it made most sense to put up with the continuing fumes until the pies were done, then to clean the oven later. That was yesterday. Today, I'm still trying to get the smoky smell out from the house.
If this ever happens again, it would be better to remove the food from the oven *right away* when I notice something like this happening, deal with the oven, and finish cooking the food later.
.
I'm happy to report that the neighbor is not keeping that dog in the cage most of the time. I haven't seen it in there since that other day. I still can't figure out why they put it in there in the first place, and the cage is still there, but at least it is empty.
