smoke detector goes off

i'm no expert in cooking but thought could at least pride myself at using the oven quite often.

recently i followed some recipes to use a broiler *like BBQ grill in the oven* to do some dishes. buffalo wings, mayo fish, adobo *PHIL* chix.

we wanted to go for a lunch picnic. the boys enjoyed mayo fish *they've never eaten so much fish before. in fact, to date, they only eat fish fingers & mayo fish* so i thought of doing it again.

after a while, i saw smoke sneaking out of the stove top. i opened the oven door to see the aluminium sheet the fish were sitting on on fire. thick smoke billowed out of the oven.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A : what's that sound?

J : smoke detector!

A : how?

J : list of instructions *open windows, turn on stove fan, open door, turn on fan*

A : how? will fire fighters come? *there's a fire station just round the corner*

Jerome (R): what's that sound? what's happening?

A : there was a lot of smoke so the smoke detector went off. mummy's a little scared. are you scared?

R : i'm not scared. i'll protect you.

awwwwwwww...

the best part! the fish was unscathed in the whole ordeal! it was still perfect & the boys still ate lots of it.

hahha, we were so worried we had to pay the fire bridage for making the wasted trip. & knowing how service tips here are, it can easily set us back by a fair bit. =)
