How to not burn down your house: Get a tea kettle that whistles. I did not burn down our house, thank god. but i did hot fuze the steel from the bottom of my tea kettle to the metal burner- leaving both rendered useless.
It took about 45 minutes of boiling to evaporate the water. It took my three year old one second to ask me for a cup of tea to remind me that 45 minutes earlier i had intended to make it for us!
i knew for weeks that i needed a new tea kettle. i am not good at remembering much these days, and once the whistle went, i meant to buy one the next day. i kept tinking that i should set the timer every time i turned the kettle on, but i kept forgetting to do it.
Now i am left with three burners and a small sauce pan to boil my water in, but at least i didn’t burn down the house.
