Furnace Motor Fire Causes Dinner Dilemma: My Stove and AC Out of Commission

In summary, a furnace motor fire can be caused by malfunctioning parts, lack of maintenance, or electrical issues. It is not safe to use other kitchen appliances until a professional has inspected the electrical system. The length of time without a functioning stove and AC will vary depending on the damage and availability of parts. Homeowner's insurance may cover the damage, but it is best to check with your specific policy. To prevent future fires, regular maintenance and prompt addressing of electrical issues is recommended.

Furnice motor caught on fire today; called fire department; had to turn braker off. I didn't realize that braker is attached to my stove to, so darn, I had to order pizza. Though I wouldn't want to use a stove. It's 90+ inside and only about 70 outside. Repair man comes tomorrow at 4.
 
Time to dig out those no-cook/summer meals, right? Or use the BBQ?

Husband and son at football practice. Hubby took my keys. It was easier tonight. We did have a delicious roast from the bbq last night with mashed potatoes I made in the rice cooker plus. We'll be doing bbq again tomorrow, as I won't have air until evening.
