what not to do after wax has gone to bed, or: bad things that happened to the microwave #2

i tried to make rice in the microwave.  i thought our dishes were microwave-safe because, well, they've always been in the microwave without doing anything untowards before.  but the result this time was a lot of burnt rice and a lot of smoke in the kitchen.  i've had to open the windows and shut the door.  and also, throw out another bowl.  i thought i could prevent it from cracking if i just used some very very hot water to get the rice out.  not so.  ouch.

and also, ew.

i should have a whole fucking tag for cooking misadventures.  at least nothing exploded this time.
