Roased Magnet

Sunday I roasted a chicken with veggies; carrots & potatoes basting in the juices, all seared by the heat. Hmmmm.

I also roasted the magnetic key for the childproof latches. The missing key was noticed and followed by house-wide searches, nothing. But when it was time to add some veggies I noticed this weird, disfigured lump on the side of the pan. So today I was at Babies-r-Us to get another key.

Kudos to Safety 1st. The key melted in the 450 degree oven, but stayed together, mostly. It didn't pool in the bottom of the oven. More important, it didn't stink up the kitchen or affect the flavor of the bird.

Good bird leftovers today - hmmmm. Galen was a chow-puppy and munched away at it. He wasn't so fond of the potatoes, but that's OK, I was.
