And about the dog and the spaghetti sauce and dye--that is definitely something my coonhound (in my little picture over there) would do. He's such a clown and a nuisance, constantly causing some kind of disaster. But then he gives you his big hound eyes, and well...that's the only reason we keep him.

I looked at the pictures before I read the post and thought " well, isn't she smart--she put scratch on the wall with her chickies'!

Then I read the post... I am glad you are all ok, You are correct--the walls and floors can be cleaned and painted... Dixie

I'm sorry. I read the post and saw the pictures. If it was me I would be p****d but since it's not , it's kind of funny. Chalk it up to one of those really stupid things you did. You will be laughing about it in a few days.

Clean well grasshopper.

OMG I'm laughing so hard at your pictures that I couldn't even tell DBF what got me started.

That goo on the ceiling!!!

Reading all these post Canning Squirrel, Seems like you are not the only one that has mishaps!! LOL
My cousin wanted to stoke the fire one time- He threw gas on it. Burned down the whole house- but nobody got hurt luckily. So here was my aunt and uncle with 10 kids- no house.

Oh yikes! Just take it one step at a time... maybe try to do one wall, next?

I'm always worried that my pressure cooker is going to blow up and do something just like that!


Can anyone point me in the direction of the sweetened condensed milk thread?

I am almost afraid to admit I thought about that.

Hey, come on, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Color well placed! What more could you want. You might have to remove some of it at eye level, but...

I posted this on the original scm thread, but thought I'd put it here too, just in case someone wanted to try a possibly less dangerous way to get the same yummies.

Rather than boiling it in the can, a much quicker and safer way to do this might be to pour the scm into a small saucepan, heat to a boil, reduce heat to medium or lower, just enough to keep it boiling, and let it boil till it's a nice caramelly color. Shouldn't take more than half an hour, maybe less, depending on the heat. You don't want to leave the heat up too high or it will just burn.

No, I haven't tried it yet, but probably will tomorrow! ;-) Sounds delicious. I make a lot of caramel at the holidays, and I think this would work very quickly and easily just in a pan, with no worries of exploding cans. I'll let you all know how it works when I try it. I'm sure my kids would love something to dip their apple slices into.

And Squirrel, so sorry you had that mess in your kitchen. You'll be finding bits of caramel in odd places for quite a while, I'll bet. Hope you were able to get some good help and get that mess cleaned up. I totally hear you on the can't sleep thing, I have nights I can't sleep till 6 a.m. or later, though most of the time it's 3 a.m.

I can identify with you. I don't have Insomnia, But I have ADHD and often get up very early in the morning.
I wait until 6:00 then I can't take it any more and get on the computer and browse BYC

(Mental note to self, don't cook early in the morning... )
