Something very odd happened tonight while I was making dinner tonight...
I had some frozen Dover Sole from Trader Joe's to use so I found a recipe on weightwatchers.com that was super light and looked really good. It was baked sole over summer squash rounds with a lemon-chive sauce served with steamed sugar snap peas and a little bit of rice. This meal wasn't overly complicated but required a lot of fancy timing to make sure the rice was done in time, and that the sauce was ready when the fish came out, and that the sugar snap peas had time to finish steaming. While the fish was in the oven, I had three pots going on the stove top and I heard a really strange noise. Sometimes my apartment makes weird noises and I didn't see that anything was wrong so I forgot about it. When my timer beeped and I opened the oven, the glass Pyrex baking dish was shattered! The bottom of the pan was still there but the sides had completely broken away and a big mess of jagged pieces rested at the bottom of the oven. I pulled the fish out, examined it, picked off the few chunks on top and promptly called my mother. I was not in the mood to have my dinner ruined, and I worked so hard, and it looked so good so I decided to eat it anyway!
Some of you might be horrified that I didn't throw everything out. I was careful. A few times there was some suspicious crunch and the loud, echo-in-your-head-sound like chewing on sand...but I'm still alive. So far.
