Rain yesterday, rain today.
I thought chili sounded like a good thing. I started to brown the meat in the ceramic crock pot container on the stove, and when I walked away, didn't the pot crack, causing a grease fire and hysteria by DD10 who was making popcorn. I turned off the heat, not realizing it cracked, thinking it would go out....
then I realized grease kept feeding the flames so I got oven mitts to move the crock pot and when I lifted it , the whole bottom fell out.
Disaster.
I now have the cleanest stove in town.
And I need a new crock pot.
This is my first ever FIRE on the stove, with leaping flames.....
We are still going to have chili.....
with less meat!
