I'm Thankful No One Was Hurt In the Explosion
 

Let me preface this by stating that I did not marry my wife for her cooking skills. That said this is a serious post and did actually happen today.
One of the dishes my wife was making was a Sweet Potato Casserole. A lot of time and ingredients went into it. Well, she had baked it and removed from the oven to to cool. She placed it on the cooktop to cool, not realizing that the surface was still hot from numerous other dishes prepared there. She went in the living room and was sitting on the sofa with her chihuahua watching the Macy's Parade, I was on the patio grilling the turkey..... and BOOOM!!!! The dang thing EXPLODED!! Not cracked, exploded! Glass and tater was flung everwhere. Up to 12 feet away from the cooktop!! Heckofa mess, but thankfully no one was in the kitchen at the time!!

Now, you all know that I would not capitalize on a situation like this. I felt obligated to issue safety glasses to our guests as they arrived!!! :D

cap'n

i am grateful no one was in the kitchen. WOW!


i guess you could read the writing on the wall

the turkey didnt explode right? Wouldnt want to share with the neighbors.

Our little peek window exploded on our oven a few months ago...didnt just crack but explode to the other side of the kitchen, KINDA SCARY

I guess read the safety instructions for everything you buy

When I eat lots of baked yams, my butt sometimes explodes.

There should be a manufacturere's warning label. I smell (ahem) class-action lawsuit!

Do you still live at the same address today? :inquisiti

Oh yeah!! I went easy on her this time. Now the time she set the kitchen on fire with the toaster, THAT was a different story!! :eek:
