1. I learned that the hard way microwaving popcorn.

T'was scary. :scared:

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Very much so....

:hug:

:loveya:

[LeftyMom]

3. And I had to make more popcorn!

LeftyKid's Dad wanted to just pick it out of the broken dish, but I wasn't about to combine the thought of broken glass and my tummy. I know that doesn't work out well, thanks to HBO.

edit:

:hug: :loveya:

6. You must have been a fan of Oz

Because that is where I learned that very important lesson on there.

4. i learned that trying to make french press coffee one morning.....

5. And never ever put a Correll plate on a stove burner and turn it on...

It will shatter into slivers. And they are &^^%ing sharp.

7. I thought the whole idea of pyrex was that it withstood heat

[Shakespeare]

8. Yeah, I learned that one the hard way, too.

Still freaks me out when I think about it--it exploded all over me.

9. Ayup, no high heat, no open flame. And also, -

wool, popular as a fiber in oven mitts, - will catch fire. Albeit, after lengthy exposure to a very high heat or open flame. And when it does, it emits a highly toxic cyanide gas.

10. Yikes, dude!!

I hope you're ok! :hug:

11. Are you undamaged?

Be careful in the kitchen, mademoiselle! :hug:

12. I once made the mistake of filling a hot Pyrex bowl with cold water

That was a mess I'd rather forget. The worst part is that the potatoes I'd just cooked were in the counter next to the sink, and wound up with glass shards in them. Had to peel and cook another bag of potatoes to finish dinner. :/
