 Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 3:27 am Post subject: Teaching a 14 year old how to cook |
 |
|
With all of my children, as soon as they are old enough to stand at the stove for more than 5 minutes, I stared teaching them to cook.
My youngest is 14 and today for lunch, he wanted to cook some breaded chicken fillets. He didn't want them cooked in the oven, like he normally does, he wanted to fry them like I do. So I preceded to explain to him step by step on how to cook them.
Apparently I failed to remind him of one step: NEVER WALK AWAY FROM A POT OF HOT OIL!!!! Guess what--- he walked away from the stove while the oil was heating up. By the time I got in the kitchen we had flames shooting up to the ceiling. Did you know a fire extinguisher made for grease fires will spread the fire? Finally got it out with good ole baking soda. Smoke was billowing out of all doors and windows after I got the fire out and opened everything up to clear the house of smoke. One thing I did notice though the fire alarm was going off but didn't hear it till after I got calmed down.
Now I have to wash all curtains in the house,all rugs oh heck wash everything to get rid of the smoke smell. But on the bright side, it didn't ruin the stove and only bubbled the paint on the wall in one small spot(easily fixed) made my wooden shelf above the stove look older than it really is and most importantly NO ONE WAS HURT.
He didn't get his chicken for lunch, had to settle for pizza.  |

When we moved to this apartment last week, the first thing I wanted to do was cook, because before in the studio I didn't have a proper kitchen. So I cooked a pot of spaghetti and made some bread. A few minutes after pre heating the oven for the bread, I noticed a funny smell but thought it might be something outside. Anyway the smell got very strong rather quickly and I noticed it was coming from the oven. I opened the oven to see flames billowing out of the handle in the lid of a pan the previous tenants had left in the oven.
The place still smells like burnt plastic/tires, even though I have cleaned even the walls with Pine sol and have used almost an entire bottle of Febreeze.

I am glad everyone is ok.
Neighbors of ours who live in an apartment complex near us (it is made up of buildings each with 8 apartments) burned theirs down about a month ago. They were melting candle wax, had the flame too high and it was a really bad fire. I think they had to move out but the other apartments are back in commission now. |

I rarely use more than a tablespoon of olive oil when frying something on the stove. If hubby wants fried chicken or potato wedges - we use a lidded deep fat fryer. (restaurant grade)
I've had two house fires in my life (the second one destroyed the house) so I'm very very careful about fire (candles must be sitting on large plates inside of glass holders and never left burning without someone being in the room), I never walk away from the kitchen when cooking, and I'm very careful about the containers that go into the microwave. Plus I clean my lint filter on my dryer every time (and I wash the filter with a toothbrush and detergent every month - if you use dryer sheets it causes a film to develop on the filter that can decrease efficiency and cause fires. Twice a year I clean the dryer hose out too.
Fires are scary things..............glad everything is ok...........a little damage is better than the place burning down or worst yet, someone getting hurt!

fiery, I think he learned two lessons: 1) don't walk away from your cooking 2) don't panic.
At least now I can look at the mess I still have and laugh about it. Oh well I didn't do a real through spring cleaning this year so I guess I'll do it now.
Ocean- a little fresh lemon juice in your cleaning water works wonders on getting rid of smokey smells. I've got to go and get a dozen lemons so I can put some in the wash with all those curtains. |

Thanks for the tip deb!
Your son will grow up to be a fine cook, and now he has an interesting story to tell about the time he nearly burned his Mom's house down.

 So, is that 4 of us?
Two days ago I accidentally left a pot of sugar water on the stove and it caused a burned (white) kitchen cabinet door above and 2' of smoke in the kitchen. The alarm went off and the house stinks. Had a pot full of black sugar. I have cleaned everything twice.

The very same day that Deb had that happen, I had to rescue my kitchen from two teenage boys that were trying to cook breakfast.
The smoke alarm had gone off, the rooms were so smokey that I had to open all the windows and turn on all the ceiling fans. They were trying to cook bacon and pancakes and had gotten bacon fat on the burner and it was almost in flames. The smoke was so thick you couldn't breathe.
Must have been the moon or something, huh?

Wow that is kind of strange, that so many of us in one week had similar kitchen fire experiences.

Maybe it is some of that whatever bad energy that someone mentioned was being thrown at at members in some of these forums.
Bad witch, bad witch!!!

Well, maybe, except that would have no effect on me, I know for certain.
Anything sent my way with that sort of mal-intent goes ricocheting right back to the poor fool who sent it, knocking them right in the noggin- while I go about my life in secure bliss. 
Fire is in the air- wildfires are burning I over half the country, fire is burping up from the earth, and this weather, it is hot as fire. Whew...
And maybe, its just a coincidence. What percentage of our posters does 5% make?

OK then, what I was hoping to say was, out of the number of people posting regularly here, say at least once a week, what percent does 5 of us make?
<slept during basic math>

I know what you meant, Ocean, I was just havin' a lil fun!! LOL
I believe with 222 members (am I right on that one? I just looked at the members list and that number was there), it would be appx 2%.
However, with the number of people that posts regularly here? I don't think we have that kind of search on this site, huh? If we did, I could run an in-depth analysis of what the percentage would be for regular posters. But we would have to come up with all sorts of criteria for figuring out what "regular" means...once a day, once a week, do vacations count? Average per month? And what does it mean to be in the low end vs. high end of postings within that average.
You see, I can make a government issue out of anything. I should have been employed by the govt or at least have been an attorney.
But just a mom used to getting out of answering her teens' direct questions....SNEAKY!

Glad you are all OK
If they are 20 regular posters, 5 would be 25%, one quarter, 1/4 had fire in the kitchen pretty high percentage

I had not read this thread until I stumbled on it at The Asylum. This morning I went in to make coffee and found that the place was cluttered. I felt it needed to be cleaned out before we use the stove and then I came in to the computer and read that on The Asylum and came here to post.

In the heart of the lonely
lies a well of eternal faith
even though there are scars
upon his soul
walks the path with the knowledge
the spirit is by his side
stay awake! before the evil
takes control
Primer se volch demostar
ave nostra sanctus dominus
Pray! deliver me from evil
save my soul
father be proud of me
pray! the blood inside my
vains are running cold
heaven awaits for me
By the way of the pilgrim
in the search of the holy land
driven on through the rain and
endless snow
pushing on 'cross the mountains
he knows still it's far to go
stay awake! the holy quest
awaits below
Primer se volch demostar
ave nostra sanctus dominus
Pray! deliver me from evil
save my soul
father be proud of me
pray! the blood inside my
vains are running cold
heaven awaits for me
Now as i stand here on the edge
of the world, fall on my knees pray you
my soul will keep
my lord in heaven oh, hear my prayer!
save me from evil won't you please
guide my way
Lead me, guide me on my way to
promised land
where i rest my weary bones
timeless hours to the land where
you were born
where your spirit always roam
Go on! i hear the voice inside my head
be strong! i know just what the preacher said
Pray! deliver me from evil
save my soul
father be proud of me
pray! the blood inside my
vains are running cold
heaven awaits for me
Finally, i have made it to jerusalem
after all it has come true
a dream, one goal make it to the
promised land, and i owe it all to you
Primer se volch demostar
ave nostra sanctus dominus
Pray! I'm standing here
amazed on holy ground
father be proud of me
pray! the paradise on earth
i know i've found
heaven is here for me
And i'll pray |
I spent my birthday alone on hwy 58 July 19th, it was good. Been alone again more so that I can be more in the Spirit with YOU. So I have something to share with You.

So we found a box with the 7th series of the Simpsons in it that had all the synchs with many things happening on this forum. Including the Oven Fire.
I found the whole thing on Youtube

The oven fire in the Kitchen
http://www.mlive.com/grpress/mediumfidelity/
| Quote: | | Skinner invites Chalmers over for lunch and tells him an escalating series of white lies to cover very minor screw-ups. When he burns his roast, he tells Chalmers it’s steam from the steamed clams he’s preparing. When he sneaks across the street and buys Krusty Burgers instead, he says they’re “steamed hams,” a family recipe from Albany. When the kitchen fire rages out of control, Skinner tells him it’s the aurora borealis. Chalmers accepts that a celestial phenomenon has localized itself within Skinner’s kitchen, but when he asks to see it, Skinner says no and shoos him out. I’ve watched this dozens of times, and it gets funnier with each viewing. It strikes me as a profound statement on the human condition, or something. |
Wow, is the lies covering up something in the whitehouse,,, I mean kitchen?
Also in the movie is "Skinner's lame explanations" and
"There will be trouble in town tonight"
Burning down the house |

That's just a clip in the Simpsons. I dont see how significant it is to this topic except the food catching on fire.
Food not a stove. |
My reply:
| Quote: | The whole thing was that the entire kitchen and then the house burned down, food stove and house in that Simpson story (but that it started on the stove. Poetry???) and that just a couple days ago we found those cd's on the ground, and the parts I left out here on The Asylum but included in Oroborus. Just following the synchs. Often following synchs are not about getting all the info at once but about trusting the direction you are being led by the synchs as we do not want our neihbors to get hurt but want what is chaff to go away. And not just the synchs related to me but that everyone on Oroborus and many here are involved. So it is food, stove, kitchen and house if you investigate.
The country is a house (like house of Isreal) the kitchen is where things are made that the members are FED.
My synchs in 1993 and written in my book about "Burning down the house" was not with intent to destroy but to reach You, that you might be sparred by lifting the veil between You and Spirit.

As was written: ‘Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel
So I am a watchman over this house, my families house. |

Well you all kept your heads and that always helps a lot. 
I have seen people bail out the door and let it burn.
My 8 and 10 year old both cook, And I let them play with fire.
They absolutly have to know how fire works, Its a safety issue for me.
Know thine enemy.
