Just no way

Last night I was attempting to heat up a frozen spinach souffle in my toaster oven. 25 minutes wasn't enough so I started the cycle again. Circuit breaker blew. Fridge light went out so it must be on the same circut. Hubby went to the breaker box. I tried the oven again. Blew. I heated the souffle in the big oven after that.
Then I went on Next Door and asked if anybody knew an electrican? That started a good sized discussion and chat about going to Home Depot and buying parts for the breaker box. Uh uh. NO. Some times you need an expert. I know. Not the cheap way to go. Burning my house down or other nasty disaster is not my idea of fun.
I called a recommended person. He will be here Friday morning. Probably going to be a simple fix. I hope. The breaker box appears shiny new- we were told the house was re-wired when we bought it. Yeah.

Sorry about that. I have 5 things on my fix-it list; and 4 are electrical. I may call the same guy that came out last time. I hope the Friday person does a good job for you.

Let us know how you make out. I could use an electrician too. The lights in the bathroom will not turn on. I dont think two bulbs could have burnt out at once, although I guess I could try replacing them. Other parts of the circuit seem to work.

Thanks @RasmaSandra Most of the house is okay. I just want to be able to use my toaster on a reliable basis.
