Guests had talked breakfast with DH last night (I was still working the polls - Bond failed so no new school) and they said they had oatmeal this morning so would pancakes or waffles be OK. I have a great walnut oatmeal pancake recipe although I rarely do pancakes so OK.
This morning I am frying the pancakes on the burner DH usually uses for his dinners and there are flames licking around the burner of this electric stove. He apparently had not cleaned his burner up in a while (this is his area of the house so i do not interfere - will do in the future) and the griddle held the heat under the burner enough to get it going.
I was able to get it out without anything more than a hazy downstairs - the lady was in the dining room getting her tea at the time. I opened the window to air out the kitchen and used another burner to finish the pancakes.
They seemed pleased with everything when they left - we just referred to it as adding some spice to the morning. (DH is actually talking looking for a new stove - considering this one dates to about 1952, perhaps not a bad idea.)
This activity is one that is NOT recommended to be tried in your home.
