Here's mine.
I made that potato and onion casserole recipe by Chef Gordon Ramsey. I made
a huge pan of it, checking first to see if it would fit in my little old
side by side fridge. Baked it the night before, not quite to brown. Was
going to take it to my parent's house the next day.
So I baked it and cooled it enough to wrap. There was still some wet
chicken broth in it and I needed to make sure it didn't leak into my
vehicle.
So I wrapped it and proceeded to put it in the fridge. Only now it didn't
want to fit. I forced it. Tried to shut the door. Heard glass breaking.
Uh oh!
Opened the door to see that the light fixture had flown off. The bulb had
broken and the live wires were coming in contact with the foil on the pan.
Managed to move the pan and stop the sparking. Until I attempted to take
the broken bulb out. I do have a tool for that but the instructions were
bad and I was doing it the wrong way. I then just broke it all the way out,
sparking as I went, then extracted the socket part.
Cleaned up the glass as best I could. Couldn't get the bottom drawer to
come out at all. Gave up on that. There may be glass under there. Who
knows? Got the rest of it out, put in a new bulb.... Thank goodness I had
one!
Then managed to carefully slide the pan in there and get the door shut. Had
terrible trouble getting the pan back out the next day. It was totally
wedged. But the potatoes were a hit. Everyone liked them.
