Aaaahhh! Coffee. coffee

I’m having a cup of hot coffee right now. I have just talked with my husband. He’s off for work now and our son is enjoying his very sound ZZZzzz, so I’m currently enjoying my ‘me’ time. I am still yet to update my blogroll and my pages, but I am a bit tired . . . . . and sleepy. Jeff and I have just finished 5 of his projects and they are ready for submission tomorrow. Yeheeyyy!!!!!

Speaking of submission, I also submitted this blog to Blogsvertise this morning and I’m just waiting for the approval.

March is Fire Prevention Month

   Posted by: abelle   in safety first, the kitchen

I made a post in my blogspot blog that included a video on how to put out a kitchen fire. It was sent to me by a friend through email few months ago and I love to share it with you here but, I don’t have a plugin for video yet, so I will just point you to my other blog. I included the message in the forwarded email for additional info. Anyway, to read the post and watch the video, click here.

UPDATE: Here are the video and the letter:

Dear Friends,

Several years ago, my wife & I did the same mistake of putting out this type of kitchen fire with water and it actually did the same thing. The fire instantaneously reached and almost covered our whole kitchen’s ceiling. Good thing it didn’t last long enough to actually burn through it. We had to repaint the whole ceiling though. Read on & watch attached demo…

Watch this video and learn what not to use to put out a grease fire.
This is a great video. Everyone should watch it and take heed.

The Charleston Navy base at the Fire Fighting Training school would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire.
The results got the attention of the students.
The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated.
The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out.
On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembles a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.

Also do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire.
One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

Meanwhile, I had a very busy weekend. I’ve been helping my son with his school projects that have to be submitted this week. After their exams last Thursday and Friday, this is what we are into right now - loads of ‘paper works’. That is the reason why I haven’t updated my ‘About’ page yet and I thank you for your patience.

Later, guys! ;)
