Quote of the evening:

"Eeeewwwwww......what you're smelling is burnt dead mouse."

Byron, as he peeks inside the oven, afeter setting it to preheat for our dinner tonight. Our best guess is that the mouse was chased down into the burner, and went into the oven, where it got stuck under on the heating elements.

And, for the record, burnt mouse smells like burnt hair.
