do not.... I repeat.... DO NOT! Ask my wife to make them. 10 years ago, she wanted a new stove. The one we had worked perfectly fine.... but she wanted "NEW".... I said.... "Not no. Just NO not yet."
Three days before Christmas... she decided to make "Bourbon Pecans". I would like to think she didn't know what soaking Pecans in Jack Daniel.... then pouring Jack Daniel into the baking tray..... so that the Pecans would absorb the flavorings.....
BEFORE she put the damned stuff into an electric oven at 350 degrees. When the flash fire hit... I grabbed the kitchen fire extinguisher (yes we keep one on hand) as I yelled "Call the Fire Department!!". Flames were shooting out the front of the oven! By the time the FD showed up... I had the fire out, but the oven was a total loss, and I had a 2nd degree burn on one hand.
She got a new stove delivered the next day.
Moral of story. If you know Grace. DO NOT ASK HER FOR THE RECIPE FOR BOURBON PECANS! (Please? For your own safety!)
And yes... this really happened.
And yes, we are still happily married!!!!
