Oven gloves flambee

I was standing in the kitchen tonight, leaning on the stove, waiting for the dinner to cook when Husband came in wearing One of His Looks. Oh heck, what had I done now?

He pointed to my hand, which was on fire (well, the oven glove it was wearing was). I was wondering why it felt a bit warm! I was also wondering why I could smell burning... He grabbed the glove, with its really quite impressive flames, and doused it in the sink before leaving the room, eyes raised to heaven.

Time, I think, for a glass of wine! Incidentally, I don't often burn the food, just the gloves...
