They're called Laws of Physics for a reason*

Last night Ellanna and I tried making a new healthy dish we got from Nener. It involves wrapping chicken and veggies in tin foil and baking the whole thing in the oven at a high temperature.

The recipe also specified using a metal sheet to cook them on. That's important.

We didn't have a metal cookie sheet so we used a pyrex baking dish. Now our oven kinda sucks so it didn't get done in the time it was supposed to so we baked it little longer. Now it's pretty cold here right now but not so much in the house. In any case, as soon as I removed the pyrex from the oven it EXPLODED. Not a little crack either, it completely shattered, with quite a loud pop, and threw glass into the oven and onto the floor. Man getting little shards of glass out of your oven is a pain in the ass. The Dustbuster rules.

The food however, was fine, it was all wrapped in tinfoil so it was safe from the glass. It was quite good too, we'll have to make it again. Without exploding dishware.

*Or quite possibly the Laws of Therodynamics

Are you sure you don't have a metal cookie sheet? I used something to bake cookies at your house. And it wasn't a pyrex dish...

I have a metal (cookie sheet type) casserole that could probably fit in your oven if you need it.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
