\n2. Happy Birthday to Erik<\/a>! Alas, I saw the announcement too late to plan my menu, so I will have to have roast pork and Sapphire martinis another time.
\n3. I did make pizza last night. I tried using bread flour to make the dough and was very, very pleased with the results.
\n4. I also had my very first grease fire in the kitchen. Yikes! It was all my fault, too — I just was not using my brain. I had filled a saucepan with water and bit of olive oil and brought it to the boil (the plan was to use it to cook the sausages for the pizza.) I got sidetracked washing the dishes, though. I looked up and realized the pot had gone dry. I turned off the burner and removed the lid. I neglected to move the pot off the hot burner, though — really, where was<\/i> my brain? — and all of a sudden FOOM!<\/b> the remaining olive oil ignited. So there I was with flames shooting up ten inches into the air, and all I could think of was “oh no! the microwave!!!!!”<\/i>
\nSo I pulled the flaming sauce pan out from under the microwave and realized that you really do need both hands to extinguish a fire. I have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, but I couldn’t remember where it was. (It was under the sink, behind the dish drainer and dish pan. ) By now my husband had heard me yelling and he came in to see what was going on. I put the pot down and he started for the sink to fill a cup of water to throw on the fire.
\nBy this time I’d recovered my wits. I grabbed the can of salt that was sitting on the counter and threw salt on the fire to smother it — it worked right away. (The microwave and pot seem to be okay.)
\nWhen my sister was small, she gave my mom with a present: a small coffee can filled with baking soda and decorated with crayon drawings of fire. She’d made it in Brownies. The idea was that you kept it by the stove so that you always had something at hand to smother a fire. I think I need to make one of those, since I cannot count on having a Brownie to make one for me.
\nI was also disturbed to realize that the smoke alarm didn’t go off during this little adventure. So at the least I have a battery to replace. If I don’t get it done this week, maybe I can get my dad to do it for me when he comes next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
