It snowed last night and I got a LOT sleep waking up full of purpose and creative energy. 1st up on the "let's do it today" list was to make apple cupcakes with brown sugar whipped icing. These will be awesome later on after I've worked my way down the long list. I have a few aging apples and it's a great day for cupcakes. I measured and prepped and hand ground the cardamom and found the cupcake tins and liners (this took some doing as I don't make cupcakes often).
Just before assembly I flipped the oven on to preheat and then padded to the back of the house to put on socks and shoes. Sun pours in the icy windows, tunes are spinning on the stereo, wonderful happy Saturday morning! All good.
SMOKE! Loud ALARM.
There is something boiling on the floor of the oven and smoke billowing out into the kitchen. It appears to be lamb fat and some sort of tomato based sauce, polymerizing in the 350 degree oven. I cannot bake delicate apple cupcakes in that oven and cannot clean it until it cools down a bit. FULL STOP.
Ranty bit:
If you make a mess - clean it up
If you use up the last of xyz tell someone or put it on a grocery list or replace it.
Do not leave gross stuff in the kitchen sink - rinse it out.
Heavy sigh....
