I was so proud of myself. Cooking isn't something I do, period. I mean, baking a pizza is big time culinary arts for me.
But on Thanksgiving, I deep-fried a turkey in an electric fryer, and it was so good, I decided to try other things. So for the past couple days, I have been "brining" a pork loin, and seasoning a duck to deep fry.
I had set up the fryer in the outside porch, which has a tile floor. I poured the peanut oil in the fryer, turned it on to preheat, and went back inside the house.
After a few minutes, my dog "Chief" started acting like he wanted out, so I opened the porch door, and we started out. Good thing we did at that time. I had forgotten to shut off the drain on the fryer, and over a gallon of hot peanut oil was now on the tile floor! Had someone been videotaping me, I must have looked comical. I was yelling, cursing, and running for towels! The area rug is toast, but the floor cleaned up easily. Whew! Fortunately, I still had enough oil to start over, but what a mess!!!!
