HA, HA, HA LOL
I’ve baked a potholder or two - also quick-sauteed one on the stovetop :>)
Merry Christmas!
Two years ago, my mom , for whatever reason, decided to put two placemats in the oven, on the racks to air dry after she had washed them. She forgot they were there. I was making a Christmas lunch and turned the oven on to preheat. My niece came over with her lab/greyhound & I took a bag of dog treats out & was talking to her quite a while as Eva fetched balls in the field (the dog is a veritable “fetching machine” ... she fetched until she had to lie down in a snow pile to cool off). Anyway, a considerable time later, when I went back in the house, the stench was horrific and smoke was everywhere. The placemats didn’t flame up, but they were definitely burned/charred and smelled some kind of awful - very chemical/electrical fire kind of smell. I got my tongs out & picked them off the rack and threw them out the door. It took a good day to clear the smell out of the house and that was after leaving the doors & a few windows open for at least a half hour in windy weather cold enough to snow to try to get some fresh air in there!! Mom is under “orders” never to do anything like that again .... and then I burn up a potholder! :-) Merry Christmas to you, too! MM
