this is not how you boil water (that’s a pot)

I woke up today to a nasty, nasty stink - something between formaldehyde and sulfur. After stumbling around the house in a daze I found the perpetrator: one of our stove-coils was on full blast and cooking an empty pot. It had been doing so for 3 hours.

Everything around the pot was burned and black. I was breathless. If a KD box, or newspaper, or paper plate or anything even remotely flammable had been left near the stove, our house would have gone up in flames. Needless to say, its been a bit rattling. I suppose you just gotta take everyday for what you can.
