  2. that's a glass pan, right? aren't you a scientist?

    extreme temp changes result in cracked glass.

    and that recipe? i hate recipes like that b/c not all the ingredients are listed at the top. you make the bars, then realize you don't have the sweetened condensed milk. sheesh!

    sorry you didn't get to eat these treats. :)

  6. Oh, I wasn't very clear. The explosion happened while I was home, and was in fact my fault. I meant that the eating around the glass shards part wouldn't have happened if I was there. He did that while sweetly cleaning up the mess as I ran with our friend to the store to grab more edible snacks.
