Tonight was grilled chicken caesar salad with spiced croutons.
The weather is changing, everyone is posting stews or casseroles. I've decided that curry is what is called for. Anyone have a favorite? My fave is ki murghi.
I was also thinking of a dahl, since beans were mentioned. It's Jillio's fault for mentioning basmati rice. I just cant think of it without a lovely curry.
 
Earlier for dinner I made homemade chicken pot pie and for dessert I made pumpkin log.

Yes, that is how the Dutch oven came about. It was origninally intended to be used inside the fireplace on top of the embers.

stove on fire

I woke up this morning feeling disoriented took me a minute to figure out my apartment was full of electrical smoke. I went to the kitchen and in under the burners I could see flames and the oven light was on even though it was turned off, all the burners were off. I through some water in there and there was a
loud BZZT and a big blue arc and the flames went out. I guess I wont be cooking for a while. cough cough
 
Probably nothing as I spent the afternoon babysitting for my granddaughters and my daughter gave me too much soda, chips, and candy. I feel sick. :barf:

Oh, wow! I'm sorry about the fire! If you were closer, I would share my dinner with you! Tonight was pretty boring though...grilled ham and cheese sandwich and homemade sweet potato chips.

Thanks Jiro, I do have fire extinguishers and baking soda. I would recommend that as the way to go as well. I just did not care in that moment about the electrical arc. Probably due to being an electrician. You would think I would go the way of excessive caution. Why have just a little smoky fire when you can have the big boom? Sometimes I analyze my way of doing things and go hmm.
I sorted out in the short decision making time that it had to be a partial short circuit in the oven control wiring. I figured it would finish making the short circuit and it did. End of fire instantly. Do I recommend anyone do it that way?
No I don't. Never do that. It is better to do things like all safety people recommend.
 
inspirabull, glad u okay!

we have fire extinguishers rated for all common household fires on each floor in house-

Very simple. Slice the raw sweet potato into thin slices and fry in canola oil until brown. This just takes a few minutes; they cook very quickly. Drain well on paper toweling to remove extra grease, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.

BTW, I use my cast iron dutch oven as a deep fryer, too!:giggle:
 
CHILI! MMMMMMMM! My kid will have homemade flat out pizza or cheeseburger...I bet he'll pick cheeseburger! :)
 
Same here...we used our cast iron dutch oven as a deep fryer....we gave our deep fryer away..it take up so much space....so dutch oven pot does the trick! :)
