Exploding Kitchens!

[katexxxxxx]

This was put together from a couple of FB entries...

A couple of weeks back, ravenrigan mad some lovely elderflower cordial.  She TOLD me to keep it in the fridge.  Unfortunately, yesterday one of us let it loose on the work surface.  And the last couple of days have been lovely and warm...

Today my kitchen exploded!

I've had something broadly comparable happen, but not anywhere that messy nor difficult to clean up.

I had some dried herbs which I wanted to mix together, and I decided to do this by putting them in the blender and giving it a quick blip. Unfortunately there were a few small pieces of hard stem amongst the dried leaves. The blender shattered after a few seconds, and the spinning blades threw several ounces of dried mixed herbs all over the kitchen. Everything was covered in a grey-green haze of herb powder. Even though it was dry, it took some hours to clean up. There was even some behind the fridge/freezer...

The Kenwood blender didn't explode on my mum. She just forgot to screw the lid down firmly when making mayonnaise... SPLAT! didn't quite cover it.

My dad used to have a good story about a pressure cooker, a blown safety valve, and a redecoration of the kitchen story.

I'll bet it covered everything else, though :-(

...pressure cooker, a blown safety valve, and a redecoration of the kitchen...

I can just imagine the results of that... thankfully I haven't got a pressure cooker, otherwise such a mishap would probably seek me out too :-(

Glad the clear up has had a silver lining.

DH tells of returning to his uni flat to find his flatmate scrubbing the kitchen ceiling with the bog brush - he had allowed a Heinz tinned jam sponge pudding boil dry.....

Himself had s similar experience with a tinned spotted dick. Let's just say that everyone in the scout camp got a little bit...
