you live, you learn
(third post today)
You know how you're supposed to stab potatoes with a fork so they don't blow up while they bake? I have become increasingly lazy about that over the years and haven't poked one in ages. Never did I have a potato explode or even, you know, act like it wanted to explode.
Until just now. Potato innards all over the inside of a 375° oven is not a pretty sight. Or smell. Just so you know.

I'm sorry that happened on your already icky day. Praying for you.

Um, no, I didn't know that. I thought it was just for when you cooked them in the microwave. Live and learn, indeed.
Time to put the kids or the DH to work to clean out potato shrapnel. What a crappy day you're having. Here's to a better one tomorrow.

LOL, that is so funny because I was thinking of NOT poking my potatoe yesterday when I grilled it on the BBQ just to see what would happen. I couldn't bring myself to do it because, well things are messy enough as it is. That sucks though...Mary is right, you should make someone else clean it up...Although I'm sure it's clean by now considering it's 8:40 and you wrote that at 7:10. I LOVE YOU.
