Would you like a little glass with your lunch?

We had a small incident today during lunch. Luckily no one was hurt, although Abram was right in the line of fire. After we all had our food and were in the living room watching Totoro, Abram went back into the kitchen for seconds...and all of a sudden shattered glass was everywhere. It took us a few minutes to we had a small glass pan placed inside of a large glass pan, and that larger pan was on top of a burner that had been left on low from heating the gravy. Apparently this combination of items was a bad idea and the bottom glass pan exploded and hot glass flew everywhere. Miraculously Abram didn't get touched at all with any glass which was really good. We got all the glass cleaned up fast so it would melt the floor. In the end the only casualty was one burn spot on our linoleum. Now we can just look back and laugh!

The loud bang and the flying glass...totally not expected. What was that? At first I thought Abram had dropped the lid to the rice cooker. Then when I saw how much glass there was I assumed he had knocked the pan off the stove. So glad Abram's back was to the explosion because the glass was everywhere. I've never seen so many shards. I think we will be finding the remains of the pan for many months to come. Not to mention ur poor floor, time to go shopping for flooring?

"Without you, life's boring...my kitchen's got new flooring..." What an adventure. Sorry about your feet. :(

Wow! How lucky that no one was injured...could have been so harmful. Sorry about the floor. Bet Abram was surprised. (Airie's quote...a Gormo lyric?)
