Is the thermostat near the kitchen? Does it have a separate off setting, or did you just turn the temperature knob all the way up? Perhaps it was getting warm enough from the cooking to turn on. It's also possible that the thermostat is just plain broken/malfunctioning.
One sure way to prevent the air conditioner from running is to manually flip the air conditioner breaker in your electrical distribution panel. Usually there will not be anything else on that circuit.
The nature of an air conditioner is that it is SUPPOSED to kick on when the room temp gets warm.
Not if thermostat is set to heat and furnace is running
Your t-stat was being shorted due to the moisture.
Pull cover off t-stat and check connections. Spray with some WD-40 to get rid of the moisture.
