Had to retreat from the kitchen. Sort of accidentally made shit explode. Sorta. But not. 🤦‍♀️

By the way I made you a little video coz I do this "all the time" and it's "great"... Change if plan ok... don't do this...

Those are butternut squash seeds.

Fry them off in a hot pan with pepper, chilli and some paprika, like I do, I was gonna say...

They will crisp up lovely I was gonna say...

Make a nice snack, I was gonna say...

Nearly free...

Was gonna say...

Do not bloody do this.

Turns out if the pan is too hot they explode like some sort of insane seed bomb of angry superheated oily projectiles.

I've got little burns on my hand and arm now where I dived in to turn it off (which didn't even help)

Then I put a lid over it from an inconveniently hot steaming pan I happened to have right next to it (don't ask) and that's at least stopping them exploding everywhere like a sort of mad snack indoor firework.

The cleaning up take ages. They are everywhere.

So PSA, as for many, many things I have been known to do in a kitchen, do not do this. It is a bad idea.

Also do familiarise yourself with the big cooker circuit breaker off switch on the wall. That was the only actually good idea I had.
