HOME COOKING ACCIDENT BLOWS UP GARAGE, KILLS CHEF

A man in Pasquotank County, North Carolina was killed Saturday morning in what appears to be a home cooking accident. 70-year-old T.C. Oneyear had set some food cooking in his detached garage Friday night, ahead of a family gathering that was set to take place on Saturday. The next morning, Oneyear went to check on the food. He was, for some reason, carrying a candle into the garage and when he opened a door, there was a large explosion that blew the doors – including the main garage door – off the building. Mr. Oneyear was struck by the door he opened and knocked back by the force of the explosion, subsequently striking his head on the ground. He died at the scene. The fire completely destroyed the detached garage and melted some siding on the back of the house.
* And now, more than a few local barbecue joints want to know that guy’s recipe.
* Or maybe it was five-alarm chili.
* Who doesn’t have a favorite meal that’s to die for?
* They were going to do this on “This Is Us” instead of the Crock-Pot accident, but they didn’t think anybody would believe it.
* A candle? Just couldn’t spring for a flashlight, huh, pal?
