this video clip hardly needs an explanation... except that i will say its about a year old, the only way i know that is because that non-microwavable green plate almost burned my house down last summer when my sister sophie was visiting.... ok i mean
I almost burned my house down... i put a slice of pizza in the microwave on that plate for 10 minutes instead of 1, im sure its easy to imagine what happened next... but i'll paint the picture anyway... soph and i were watching tv (what i do best) and suddenly this huge plume of thick black smoke engulfs my kitchen. i run in to see what the heck caused this because as far as i knew i wasn't cooking anything (i never 'cook') as soon as i turned the corner i saw the smoke pouring out of the bottom of my microwave and saw the time counting down, 4:44, 4:43, 4:42 "idiot!" i screamed. so like the idiot that i was i flung open the microwave door and let the toxic fumes just pour into the rest of my house faster.. the little green plate was on fire and had shriveled into this unrecognizable green and black blob with a lump of coal (my pizza) on top... sophie and i had to cover our faces because we could hardly breathe and our eyes burned and watered from the fumes. i grabbed a potholder and ran my melted and charred plate to the garbage outside, sophie was right behind me with the rest of my green plastic plates and into the garbage they went, obviously i could not be trusted with non-microwavable anything! we spent the rest of the evening doing damage control, stuffing pillows under the doors of my girls bed rooms, trying to push the bad air out with dish towels and trying not to pee our pants because of what i had done (all of this with our t shirts up over our noses so we wouldn't pass out.... good times
