This frying was a bit more oil than what can be wiped out with a few
paper towels unless you want to sacrifice most of a roll. It was a
good cup's worth. In any case, I found a can to put it in - I'll put
it in a plastic bag on garbage day and throw it out.

I decided that open windows negate any good a fan does (and mine is
better than most) because after I closed the windows closest to the
stove... that oily smell in the hallway disappeared quickly.
