Sometimes...

I hate to admit that I have my share of "Blonde" moments! Case in Point- This evening for Dinner I wanted to make Parmesan Chicken but realized I did not have Parmesan so decided to make fried chicken instead. I had also decided to make BLT pasta salad to go with dinner, which I have actually been craving for awhile but have not made due to not having one of the ingredients. Can you guess which ingredient I did not have?? That's right I have not made the salad because I did not have Parmesan cheese!! But that did not stop me this evening. At the same time I realized I did not have Parmesan cheese for the chicken, I was cooking the pasta! Argh.. what a dork I am. Sadly, I did not get to make my salad but I do have the pasta ready to go for when I actually have all the ingredients! :0)
And to make my dinner even more exciting I decided to experiment with how heat would effect plastic. Here's the process in general if you ever have the desire to follow suit: Shortly after removing your boiling pan of noodles from the oven to be drained, grab your large newly filled flour bucket and place it on the stove. Measure out the necessary amount of flour and proceed with your cooking as if nothing is occurring next to you. Upon completion begin to clean up the kitchen. Attempt to grab the flour bin, only vaguely wondering why it does not respond to your attempts at putting it away. Become serious about getting it back in its proper place and give it one final tug, At which time the bottom separates from the main piece and flour releases all over the stovetop. Thinking quickly on your feet you turn the flour bucket over to try and save at least some of the flour, which results in the lid popping off and the rest of the flour taking its rightful place on the stovetop as well. So there you have it, a simple way to prove that heating up a plastic container will cause it to melt!
