Exploding bakeware
We had a party this weekend for St. Patrick’s Day which was a lot of fun with people staying over hanging out until past 4 am. I love weekends, but they make it really hard to wake up on weekdays. :-)
Crissy and I have gotten much more efficient at cooking and cleaning for our parties and the preparation for this party was going pretty well, until there was a BANG and very hot, blue glass went flying everywhere. I was making a lasagna and I accidently turned on the wrong burner so our nice blue Pyrex bake dish, which is not stovetop friendly, became an unintentional IED.
Fortunately we were both a few feet away and the glass didn’t reach a high velocity. Unfortunately, there was a high probability that glass shards flew into the yet to be assembled lasagne noodles and stuffing. Crissy took charge (with crisis management skills forged in the classroom) and sent me to the grocery store for new ingredients (we didn’t want to feed a spinach and glass lasagna to our friends), while she cleaned the mess.
Like my adventures in beard trimming, I was surprised how many people had very similar experiences. Almost everyone at the party had this happen before, including the slightly melted kitchen floor from the hot glass. In fact some people had it happen so recently that they told us that we could replace the broken dish at Fred Meyer since they are currently on sale. :-)
