#12: Flambé!
I’d put money down on that being a marshmallow-laden sweet potato casserole. Nothing else burns so beautifully. You have to love the expression on her partner’s face, too. He is absolutely delighted with the whole situation. He’s probably been waiting his entire life to pull that little fire extinguisher out and put it to use.

It’s almost as if you’ve made one of his lifelong dreams come true! Just roll with it and laugh about it next year when it doesn’t feel like an utter travesty anymore. Also, maybe add the marshmallows closer to the end next time and use a larger dish.
