Kitchen mishap.
October 8th, 2006
The recipe said “keep the steaks warm after cooking.” So we placed a casserole on top of an extremely low flame, ready for the meat when it came out of the pan.
A few minutes later we were greeted with an impossibly loud BANG, and several hundred tiny blocks of blue Pyrex™ scattered around the kitchen. The casserole dish had diced itself from the heat.
Our entire kitchen—the floors, countertops, mixing cups—looked a bit like the bottom half-inch of an aquarium, filled with decorative blue glass pellets. (Sorry, no photos of that; we had to clean quickly to avoid spoiling the meal.)
