I have a wife like that -- my first wife, who I've kept for 34 years. I,
too, keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and remind her how to use it
from time to time. An impatient cook, she believes that a stove has two
speeds: On, and Off. I keep threatening to publish a cookbook titled
_Donna's Blowtorch Cookbook of One-Minute Recipes_. g


So, she uses superheated steam, instead of boiling water? ;-)

Boiling is too slow. She turns the burner up to full torch and times cooking
for maximum smoke. If she walks out of the kitchen she invariably asks if
something in the house is burning, to which I reply, "yes."
