So there are these "bake at home" pizza crusts you can get at a grocery store here and Jason offered to make us one the other week.
We bought some ingredients and he was slicing them up when he turned and looked on top of the oven... where he'd placed the pizza.... while waiting for the oven to heat up. (Do you see where I might be going here?)
Well, that was the day we learned that even a little bit of heat (ie the heat rising up from an oven pre-heating itself) is enough to start the dough rising!
We barely got the lid off of the container and the pizza didn't quite turn out the way it was meant to but damn if that wasn't a funny few moments of "UH OH!" when he saw the pizza was already well on its way to being fully risen!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
