Kids, I blew up the honey

There was a little over a tablespoon worth of honey in the honey bottle–just enough for my peanut butter and honey sandwich. The problem was, it was solid.

So I stuck the bottle in the microwave and, too lazy to push the buttons for just a couple of seconds, pushed the “minute plus” button.

Then, too industrious to do nothing while in the kitchen, I started emptying the dish drainer.

About 45 seconds later, I heard an enormous “POP!”

The lid had been blown off the now shriveled honey bottle and a thin layer of honey evenly coated all six internal surfaces of the microwave.

Well, at least the microwave got cleaned today.
