This thread cursed my apron.
My wife found a respectable ham shoulder at the market today. Bought it, cooked it, left quite a mess in the pan. But the ham was wonderful, so all is OK.
My job was to clean the pan. Put in a bit of water, heated it up on the cooktop, left it sizzling (homage to John Prine there....)
Did the dishes, took some of the soapy water and poured it into the pan. Left it sizzling.... (again, see above)
Went over to scrape the pan to assist the clean, with my aforementioned apron on. Gas stove.
Damn. I'M ON FIRE!!!!!
Turned to my wife....said "I'M ON FIRE!!!!!"
Yeah.
Should have mentioned earlier that my mother handmade this apron 42 years ago. I'm betting she's laughing from above.
