Dinner was going so well...

until an old glass baking dish decided to explode, through no fault of the cook at all. Fortunately, no one was hurt--it was in his hand when it shattered, and thank goodness YKWIA had glasses on. The only thing left to do was order Chinese food and let this mess cool before cleaning it up. I didn't actually witness the event, as I was off at the store buying some fettuccine, but I'm told it was spectacular. Cats disappeared, husbands practically teleported away in a tizzy, and dogs had to be gated away from the kitchen due to a penchant for finding a shard or two left after the sweeping. I must admit, it was a fairly exciting evening, although YKWIA is extremely frustrated. The green beans were cooked perfectly al dente, and then the glass spoiled everything.
