I cook a really lot!
Thats why I find this mystery so disturbing.
The past several times I used my oven, I noticed that it was smoking slightly.
Each time, I would remember.. "Oh! something spilled in the bottom of the oven, I need to clean it tomorrow."
Well I never remembered until I would heat the oven up again and would smell a faint smoke smell.
Last night we had tacos for dinner.
I crisp my taco shells by hanging them on the wire racks in my oven, It works great and they just hang there! They do not go flat like on a cookie sheet and I can cook a TON at once.
Anyway...
I pulled out the top oven rack to begin inverting my taco shells.
Sitting on the back of my top oven rack, I found THIS!
The boys think it kinda looks like a pile of cow poop.It is now a nice crispy charcoal lump.
I know what it is.
and I am ashamed to admit that It originally made it's way into the oven on Christmas morning.
So.... my wise internet friends?What did I find in my oven?
I'll figure out some silly little insignificant prize for the winner.
(I'll randomly choose a name out of the correct guesses Sunday evening.)
Without thinking twice, the girlie and I suspect it's a thrice-and-then-some-crispied-up cinnamon roll :)

I am guessing that it's some kind of sweet roll or cinnamon roll!
ReplyDeletelooks like a sticky bun... very well overly cooked! lol.

Looks like a very overcooked cinnamon roll.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a blackened cinnamon roll. :)
ReplyDeletegeez woman! I don't HOW it jumped out of the pan and ended up at the back of the oven!
ReplyDelete- your spoiled rotten, "city girl", little sister
That looks like a cinnamon bun to me.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Cinnamon Bun too.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with cinnamon bun!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! A burnt to a crisp cinnamon roll! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you didn't forget you had a package of cookies hiding in the oven...I did that once...holy moly the smell of melted plastic in the oven is not a pleasant thing! :)
Looks like a cinnamon bun to me! A very well done one...
ReplyDeletebut again, I see why your kids think what they do... lol
That's now a charcoal roll! lol
ReplyDeleteLike Stacy, I used to hide my Tupperware of cookies in the oven, well that is until one day I forgot they were in there and turned the oven on, lol!
I, too, think it's a cinnamon roll. If it was from Christmas morning in the bottom of my oven, it would be an orange roll and indistinguishable from a cinnamon roll due to the extreme burning it's had. Poor little thing. :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely a cinnamon roll or sticky bun of some sort. That is one heck of a cooked treat though, if it makes you feel better, we had a baked potato in the back of our oven through about eight usages. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing cinnamon roll too. Looks like poop though! Hehe..
ReplyDeleteIt's a poppin fresh cinnamon roll...right out of the can! Not that I know what they look like mind you...;)
ReplyDeleteWonder if you could market this as "specialty" charcoal? You could market different shapes and flavors! This one, of course, looks like a cinnamon roll; but think of all the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteIt's a cinnamon roll on a jadeite plate. :)
ReplyDeleteblackened poppin fresh cinnamon roll that got away!
ReplyDeletelooks like a cinnamon roll or sticky bun..don't worry i found 4 french fries in mine last week left over from so long ago only God knows

Oh too funny... I'm hoping it was a cinnamon bun -- cause if not, then 2nd guess is poop! ha ha :)
ReplyDeleteMust be a cinnamon roll like everyone else said. Although the size it hard to tell it could be a cookie too. Something like a Rugalash or snail. But I really think it is a cinnamon roll.
ReplyDeleteIt looked so much like a well-toasted-crisp cinnamon roll or the precursor to cinnabun!
ReplyDeleteYeah some sweet bu.
ReplyDeleteHi hi i would love to know what tehy were.
Looks like a cinnamon roll at one time-lol!
ReplyDeletelooks like a cinniamon roll or some other kind of sweet roll. oh the inhumanity of something yummy like a sweet roll turning into charcoal.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I keep threatening to cook "poop on a stick" for my kids when they refuse to leave me alone about what's for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI never thought someone would actually DO IT! :P
It's a cinnamon roll of course. We had a can of the store bought ones for dessert last night. Yum and generally when they are less black they smell great don't they?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cinnamon roll to me too!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a meringue cookie.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cinnamon roll to me, Dana. So were any of the boys brave enough to take a bite? Come on, Mom baked that thing with love!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, is that your own recipe for Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls? My need some work!
ReplyDeleteI'm saying that is a cinnamon roll that is slightly over done.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cinnamon roll gone horribly awry. Though I have to say it would make for a great poop gag.
ReplyDeleteThe Pillsbury Dough Boy would weep if he saw what you did to his cinnamon roll!
ReplyDeleteOk I'm with the boys on this one but can't imagine you cooking cow poop on Christmas morning. So I'm going on a limb to say a pop-over??
ReplyDeleteSome kind of a roll, to be sure. Maybe a dinner roll though but it could be a sticky bun or cinnamon roll.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon roll "fo-sho"
ReplyDeleteI think it is some of the sugary ooze that comes from baking sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a cinnamon roll or a piped muffin.
ReplyDeleteHubby says cinnamon bun.
ReplyDeleteWell, either your cat snuck into your oven and left you a present, or it's a very well cooked cinnamon roll. You could probably keep that for many Christmases to come. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt does look like an overcooked cinnamon roll to be as well. It is rather good kitchen humour :)

Is that where Santa threw the coal when he realized he was getting some awesome treats? LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBut not really sure how a cinnamon roll could end up there to get charred to it's dear ending life!!
Looks like something boys might have fun fooling their friends with.
ReplyDeleteWell, since everyone else guessed this already it's not much fun but I think it *was* a cinnamon bun too. But I had to add that my son looked over my shoulder and had a good laugh over this.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the crowd--looks like a forgotten cinnamon roll. Though I did wonder briefly if it was some kind of meandering meringue.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find your blog again since the breakfast burrito post because I wanted the promised mini meatloaf recipe. Typically I figured I wouldn't forget where I saw it and then promptly did. Couldn't remember where it was! Finally, I found it today!
~Jenny~
to me, and I am sure this isn't what it is, but it looks like one of those meringue cookies!
