Lora, don't be surprised. Not only blind people make mistakes due to ignorance or stupidity, but sighted people are guilty of doing the same thing.
When I was living with my parents, they had company, and they hired someone to clean up the dishes and put the food away. My parents had a punch bowl they received as a wedding gift. At the time they were married 39 years or something. The The person who washed the punch bowl didn't let it set out before washing it in hot water. She took the cold punch bowl and immediately put it in the hot, soapy water. The bowl didn't shatter, but it was badly cracked, and it had to be thrown away. My mother was a little bit annoyed. It was an act of stupidity on her part. -----Original Message----- From: Lora Leggett <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] baking with glass? I have wondered about that myself. I have a small casserole from when we got married so that was 39 years ago. It is made by Corning. I notice it does not seem to be microwave safe. It gets a little warmer than some of my newer casseroles. I always put casseroles on top of cookie sheets when I use them just for that reason. About 17 years ago I had some friends staying with us and when she made a tuna casserole for us one day, she took my 9 by 13 casserole out and put it on top of the stove and it shattered. I was shocked, stood there with my mouth open in amazement because this was a sighted person. Things like that are only supposed to happen to us, I thought and it never has happened to me. Well, a new casserole made a nice gift from my son. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy from OK!" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] baking with glass? > This does help, but I have a question of great!
