For big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas my grandma would make a lot of stuff the day before and store it in the fridge covered in plastic. One of the staples of Thanksgiving was sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping. Well, we didn't realize until the first person tried to scoop out a helping of the dish that there was a now invisible layer of saran wrap on top of the marshmallows.
My wife and I combined forces on this past sunday to almost burn the crap out of my legs. Through a series of events, my wife added 2 times the correct amount of liquids to the potatoes au gratin and after 20 minutes of baking it was still almost as runny as when we put it in. Our friend had the idea to pull it out and use a baster to suck out some of the liquid. So I opened the oven, pulled out the rack that the baking dish was on and realized that I needed another hot pad to pull out the baking dish. As I turned away from it, the rack tipped and the dish fell down on to the door of the oven spilling scalding potato au gratin liquid all over the floor and oven door. Turns out, when I shuffled the racks around earlier I didn't get that one in right and it wasn't supported in the back to keep it from tipping. I just glad it waited until I was a couple feet away.
