[Martha is cooking! Unfortunately, it's hard to tell what she's cooking, because whatever it was is now a blackened lump in the skillet, and there are flames leaping up. So she's not really cooking as much as she's trying to find a fire extinguisher or a towel, or possibly some water. Or, you know, something to put out the fire.

...which has now spread to the towel she just used to try to smother it, whoops. Fire control is not Martha's forte.]

((ooc: Experiment over!))

[Fortunately for Martha, Ianto does know what he's doing.

He grabs the towel off her, dropping it into the sink and turning the tap onto full. He wets another towel, making sure the cooker is off whilst covering the flames with the wet towel.]

[Martha has the grace to stand back and look a little embarrassed while Ianto's being heroic. Hey, at least she isn't starting fires in the Hub!] Er, thanks.

[She's probably banned from the kitchen if that's how she acts. :|] Not a problem. Just try and remember that dry towels are usually flammable next time.

[She just has d1!Ianto get takeaway...>>] Well, they always say to smother fires with towels, yeah? Though I think a fire extinguisher would work better, personally.

[I think that's actually what happens in every deviance.] Wet towels. Dry ones will just make the situation worse.

Right, right. I...probably should have figured that. [cough] See, this is why I don't usually cook.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

What were you trying to make, anyway?

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

Well, I had some leftover rice from Chinese last night, so I thought I'd try my hand at making some fried rice. It...didn't really turn out very well, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...that looks nothing like rice, Martha.] I think you should probably stick to microwaving it next time. And refrain from making chips.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[well, it's not meant to be black and soggy!] Chips are tricky, yeah. I can sort of make them in the oven, but they aren't as good. Too healthy. [chuckle]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Too dry too.

((...ignore the random Ben account. :|))

...Especially if you forget to set the timer and leave them in too long.
