I made a GIANT pot (like 18 quarts) of really good minestrone for the funeral lunch of my closest friend's father that was the next day (while my own dear father was in his last months of life). I let the pot cool and then hit the edge of the fridge shelf as I was putting it away, dropping the entire pot. Let's just say that I now know beans and carrot pieces can fling a full 20 feet and also make a huge mess inside the fridge. I had a houseful of kids (mine and my friend's while they were finalizing funeral things). My friend's daughter immediately said "That's ok, ______, I really don't like minestrone anyway, could you make chicken noodle instead?" And my sweet son said "I'll help, Mom. How many cans of Campbell's soup do I need to open". I had to make a conscious effort to laugh or I would have cried for a very long time.

Glass is basically sand, sand is basically minerals, salt is basically minerals. If you think about it, glass is basically just seasoning.

There is something deeply depressing about ruined food.
