Caution: Assassins are getting craftier >.=.>;

Though this is like a week late, I am giving you a head up on how Easter went.
I and my siblings pretty much took over the dinner. See my mum was hesitant on having Easter at her home, given she tackled Thanksgiving and Xmas last year. However there was no word out within our family on who would host it. So she gave in and decided to have it at her place. It was then one night that a chance came into play. She asked me and my sis and bro about taking care of the dinner.
We all jumped at it. . sure why not, give it a good try.
So the next few days was spent on cleaning and prepping for Sunday. Saturday my grandma stopped by and dropped off a ham that was part of the meal: Ham, cornish game hens, firemen's potatoes, salad, and dinner rolls. I took out the hens on Sat night and left them defrost so I wouldn't have to thaw in the microwave.
While everyone was putting the finishing touches I pretty much whipped up the hens and ham together. cut the four into eight halves and filled with stuffing. Four went into a glass baking dish, the other in a metallic baking dish. The ham went into another and a quick glaze consisting of crushed pineapple, mustard, and brown sugar was concocted. My brother made the firemens potatoes and they all went in a little after 2:10 pm. relatives starting showing up by then as well. One aunt brought the salad while grandma showed up with sherbert. Another aunt brought lemon bars and carrot cake :9
It was an odd experience for my mom to mingle with the folks given she is always in the kitchen cooking during such occasions. Dinner was ready about 3:20ish . . and that is when things got really. . .down right freaky O.=.o;
The glass baking dish in question is made by Pyrex which are known for their products to be rather good. So. . I remove the four hens in the glass dish and set it on the stove to cool. Dish was only three years old and has been heated on numerous occasions so it was not uncommon to place it on the stove. I started backing up and proceeded to remove the ham and the other game hens when
BAM!!!!!
The glass dish exploded. . I mean literally exploded. It was if I simply took the dish and dropped it from the roof onto the pavement and watched it shatter. Glass pieces went flying every where and I was scared to high hell. About a few relatives came to check and were well about as shocked as I was. My mum was summoned to see as well. She thought I made some minor accident that was easily corrected. Needless to say she was stunned as everyone else when she saw the mess. I really couldn't do anything as I was barefoot at the time. So. . while I stood there, everyone pretty much cleaned up the mess. Alas the four hen halves had to be thrown away. While I. . recuperated from being scared senseless, mum took over and carved the ham (an uncle of mine on the phone who heard about it stated that it was proof that God didn't want us to have cornish game hens )
The dinner turned out pretty well and I and siblings were commented on a job well done. I once joked to my sis that if we can handle Thanksgiving and Xmas, this should be a breeze. So Easter turned out well despite the slight scare.
Other news my b-day is next Wednsday. I plan on handing in a report to class early so as not to worry. I'm also heading to Disneyland, taking advantage of that free b-day thing they're doing. . .
Yeah I iz old :o
So . . just to let you know. . BEWARE GLASS WARE. . for Assassins are getting craftier in attempts to remove me or you from this world. . .YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! :O :O :O
