Yesterday I found myself in the kitchen getting ready to enjoy a left over chicken salad….it was going to be my lunch. My husband and a friend of ours were outside in the garage working on our friends truck in the cold. I thought I would be a nice person for a change and make a pot of tea and offer them a cup to keep them warm. So I set my salad on one of the burners and grabbed the tea pot and filled it up and set it on another burner. I turned on the burner then walked across the kitchen to find the tea bags. Within seconds I was hearing sizzing on the burner and I figured it was just water on the outside of the pot. UMMMM NO! I looked over and I see all this smoke and my salad on the burner FRYING!!! Did I forget to mention that it was in a plastic take out container??? So the house is filling with smoke and it smells like burnt plastic. I ran to open doors but then realized the cat would get loose so I had to shut him in the basement. Then franticly ran back through the kitchen to open the door. Then on the way back through I’m desprately looking for the remote control to the fan and put that on at full speed……then over to the living room and crank that fan to high. I stuck my head in the garage to tell them of my own stupidity and also give them some kind of warning that it smelled really bad in the house. So after I got the salad cooled down and it was cleaned up my husband told me that we need to purchase another burner…..So guess what we are going to do today???? You got it! Oh and by the way after a half hour I did remember to let the cat out of the basement!!
