Though I don't have time for a full-fledged post, I thought I would quickly share some (unadorned) photos of the kitchen in my new apartment as well as my latest cooking adventure.
This photo is before I moved all my stuff in -- now there are just boxes of unpacked kitchen utensils. I don't know if it's obvious from this picture, but this is almost the size of a full, adult kitchen! I am thrilled and eagerly anticipating breaking the kitchen in.
Today I decided to prepare a quick lunch consisting of a delicious quesadilla. However, instead of the gooey cheese I was anticipating when I opened the oven door I was greeted by flames.
Yes, I almost burned my new kitchen down. At least in the moment it felt like my new, spacious kitchen was in grave danger. Luckily, I had a box baking soda nearby and though I'm not sure my technique was the correct way to handle the 16-inch flames bursting out of my oven like a scene from Backdraft, it did the trick. Now I just have to deal with the clean up.
Baking Soda Quesadilla? Any Takers?
also, i escaped to the library after this mishap, but i realized i now smell like a chronic smoker with hygiene problems. the guy next to me got up and moved a different seat. this may still be an upgrade over my library status last week -- sick girl infecting everyone with her cold.
ReplyDeletei don't think this is an omen for future cooking in your great new kitchen. i'm impressed by your quick strategy of using baking soda—i didn't even know that baking soda extinguished fires.
ReplyDeleteyou make quesadillas in the oven? i always use a cast iron skillet on a stovetop.
i'm glad you don't think this would be a bad omen for future cooking in the kitchen. the thought hadn't even occured to me.
ReplyDeletei do make quesadillas in the oven. or at least i used to. the method worked quite well in my old stove. i really enjoy how crispy the tortilla gets in the oven...but your strategy is safer and...better.
This is an excellent post on kitchen.
