Made a rather good kedgeree for lunch, popped it in the oven to keep warm and settled down to finish my coffee waiting for DH to show.
Sort of conscious of a flickering behind me........
I had left a double oven glove on the job and not turned the hob off.
Bit of a situation!! Tried to cover with lids, lift glove into a roasting tin with tongs and get it outside all the while nasty acrid smoke was billowing round the kitchen!
My super sensitive fire alarm just outside the kitchen door, which normally springs into action if I so much as fry an onion, remained strangely silent however. Remembering anya's awful predicament, I was just glad I was still in the kitchen, able to shut Grace on the other side of the door and able to avert a worse situation. Playing on GN of course had nothing to do with it ?
