The mug shot.
Why is this man smiling? Unknown to me. In the photo, he just destroyed a pan of broccoli (which destroyed the pan and the broccoli). In the process, the house filled with a dark gray cloud of malodorous smoke that permeated into everything, even the clothes in the closets.
Even with every window open, the stench has lingered now for 3 days.
I made sugar cookies yesterday in an attempt to neutralize the smell - things were definitely better while the cookies were baking. But if you leave the house and come back in, the smell is still hanging around and very noticeable.
Had this been a first offense, the judge would have been more lenient. Unfortunately, the defendant has been brought up on the same charges previously. The penalty for this offense is steep: broccoli has been banned from the D'Alba kitchen for a week, and there's a new rule about cooking vegetables in the microwave. (Note from the judge: The defendant is pretty cute and may get a reduced sentence or time off for good behavior.)
