New Mom Fail

So, yeah, that happened.

That flaming ball is the remains of a kitchen towel. I was boiling water on our gas range for spaghetti when Ethan's cooing made me pop into the living room. Usually if I leave the kitchen, I have Dan babysit the pot. Well, I did the "I'll only be gone for a second." The second turned into several minutes and Dan walked into the kitchen to find the fireball on top of the pot lid. I guess I had checked the water and left the kitchen towel on top of the hot lid, within reach of the flames. Quick thinking Dan grabbed some tongs and threw it in the snowbank. Disaster averted.

But my pot still has the remnants of my kitchen fail...
