We had an interesting afternoon here, but before I can tell you about it, you need some back story.
Yesterday, I cooked for my in-laws. I made roast turkey with all the fixin's. Only I don't have a roasting pan, so I used a large rectangle pan instead.
Somewhere between the chicken broth and the meat juices, the turkey seriously boiled over into the oven. A lot. So much that the house smoked up while the turkey was still in the oven. When it was time to serve dinner, my nephew asked, "Are we having a smokey dinner?"
Today when I got home from work, I decided to fix the oven mess. I set the dial to self clean, locked the door and walked away.
About an hour later, we were in the kitchen making dinner when Tim burst out, "Holy shit!"
There were flames inside the oven. Great orange flames that licked the oven door window.
We managed to keep it under control--no fire department was necessary. And no damage was done to the oven (damn). The only issue right now is the house stinks like burnt turkey feathers. We tried opening the windows, but one can only do that for so long in March in Michigan.
While the turkey was pretty good, I'm going to have to get used to eating crow, I guess. You see, I made fun of Tim mercilessly on his last birthday because he had fire extinguishers on his wish list. And I'm doubly glad he got one.
