Little excitement tonight. Wife was going to cook fried green tomatoes I brought home from a garden plot, given to me by the gal farming the plot. She had a lid on an iron skillet and when she took the lid off, fire flared up. She panicked. I looked for the fire extinguisher but couldn't find it. I thought it was red - it was white and I missed it. I tried to get the skillet into the sink but it slipped out of my hands and dropped on the floor. Flames shot all over. Hot fat. I managed to pour a little water in the pan which put out the fire while she called 911. Fire dept. came and measured for leftover heat above the stove. Turns out one of the firemen lived in Wilton and had a plot right next to the women who gave me the tomatoes. And even stranger, her father in law was our neighbor across the street in our first house. Lots of soot to clean up and a round burn mark on our wood kitchen floor but nobody got burned and we have metal kitchen cabinets near the stove. Anyone with wood cabinets near the stove is asking for big trouble. The green tomatoes were ok. The swordfish was better.
