Keep a lid, baking soda, or a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen.
Laura was in town this weekend and I had asked her to share her recipe for a home made es special. Pat's favorite dish from his favorite Mexican restaurant in college. By the end of the cooking process Laura wanted to warm the chips... and then the chips caught on fire. I looked over and saw flames shooting out of the oven. We couldn't reach above the oven to turn it off, they were too big. So Laura and I proceeded to scream for Pat - who in true fireman like fashion ran in the kitchen, saw the flames, ran into the garage and stormed the oven with fire extinguisher in hand to put out the fire. Way to go Pat! Luckily nothing was burnt except the chips and the inside of the oven. Pat and Laura cleaned it out, but I still haven't used it again yet. I'll be buying some oven cleaner first and making sure all the fire extinguisher stuff is gone before we deem her ready to bake again.
