popping purple pyrex.
i thought i should post before i leave for louisiana tomorrow. and i think i'll tell what my week has been like.i frequently make a meal early in the week that will last me the whole week for lunches. this week, i decided to make kathy's super great chicken and rice hotdish. i had cooked the chicken on sunday night, so while my rice was cooking, i tore my chicken and mixed the other stuff. when the rice was done, i transferred it all to the pan and put it in the oven. a few minutes later, as i was doing the dishes, i heard a noise. do you know what it sounded like? of course not. let me tell you. sometimes, when one is baking cookies, the pan will sort of pop. it'll bend from the heat or something... you know that sound? well, that's what it sounded like.
because my thoughts were thinking oven, i opened the door. i concluded, by the amount of glass spread about the bottom of my oven and the lack of glass on one end of the pan, that not only was i going to have to clean this up, but i was also going to have to wait to eat. do you know what that pan did? that pan blew up. i was mad. mad, i say. i was hungry. it was late. i love this hotdish. as i stood looking at it, just letting it all sink in, the front of the pan fell over. you know, from the aftershock.
well, my friends, i cleaned that pan up. i was so adament about not wasting such fantastic food and also about filling up the void that was my stomach that i scooped out the middle of that hotdish and put it in another pan. i know. i know what you're thinking. julie, you're stupid. maybe. but i was so hungry. and i justified it all by determining that it had blown down instead of up or out and i couldn't see any glass on the top of the food. and i'm careful when i'm eating it, squishing each bite to check for glass before i enjoy it. it does cut down on the enjoyment factor when you mix food with a bit of fear, but it's still darn good hotdish.
so this was a fair representation of my week. hope yours was less eventful.
