Hey, friends! Sorry I’ve been gone all weekend (and most of last week!). We were busy entertaining, crafting, and carrying on with some friends. :)
Very rarely to the husband and I have visitors. This past weekend, we had visitors ALL weekend, and it was the most amazing time! Suze and her husband R have been friends since college, and it feels nice to have friends visit with no pressure. They’re probably the easiest people to be around, and we really enjoy just being with them. Suze writes a fashion blog, so vintage shopping was definitely part of our amazing (and too short) weekend! You can read her here.
Anyway.... Because we never get to play host, we like to pull out all the stops. Suze & R came in on Friday night, and we made fried chicken, french fries, and fried pickles because who doesn’t love a good southern dinner on a cold night? So with the husband manning the oil, we’re drinking wine, laughing and catching up. Our kitchen has terrible ventilation, and because of that we’ve dismantled all the smoke alarms around the kitchen. So when the smoke started...we really didn’t notice.
Then, the smoke started to get really bad, and we kind of all casually looked over towards the stove as my calm-as-a-cucumber husband started yelling profanities at growing oil fire.
Did you know that oil can bubble over? Yeah -we didn’t either.
So the first logical attempt at putting out the fire was to blow on it. The husband, doing his best tuba player impression put a good dent into the flames for about...two seconds. After those two flame free seconds, a huge splash of oil jumped out of the pot and landed on the stove. I'm sure you can imagine not only the size of his eyeballs, but the amount of fire that we were all staring at.
In a flurry of activity, I was instructed to get the baking soda (it sounded a little like, fu-gruhh-bauhhh---baking soda!), and the day was saved.
The fried pickles were a little over fried, but the chicken tasted great and the homemade ranch was a perfect side kick.
I hope y'all had a great weekend, too! Crafting pictures to come. :)
