Trying to boil an egg in the microwave does not work. 
Really, I should know that! I'm not sure where my head was. Actually, my head was pretty lucky, because it happened to be downstairs with the rest of me getting spaghetti sauce when the egg bomb went off. Otherwise, I dare say I may have ended up with a broken nose. I had previously been standing at the stove while my eggs were boiling nicely, and as I observed when I ran upstairs after the massive BOOM, water had been sprayed halfway across my kitchen floor, the cup the eggs were in was actually in my spaghetti pot below the microwave, and the 2 eggs were obliterated. The microwave door was still shut, however, which makes me think the force of the exploding eggs popped that door so hard it hit the end of its opening swing and slammed back shut. That's a little bit of power, which my face was glad not to be involved in. Not to mention burning hot egg matter splatter! Everyone so far has really laughed hard at me, and I agree, I know better. But really, what is the difference between eggs boiling in the microwave and eggs boiling on the stove? I would never just put an egg in the microwave!!! But I thought the boiling water would cook the egg... We still enjoyed a nice salad that night, sans the hardboiled eggs, and the spaghetti was very good, though Evan found a few peices of egg shrapnel in his. At least now I know!

oh, Sabrina, what are we going to do with you, you also know how to go up and down stairs, but that doesn't prevent you from tripping!Good thing the call of the spaghetti came in the nick of time.
Cute stories. I just learned if you put a wet rag in your microwave and then turn it on for 20 seconds everything will just wipe right out!
Yeah.
Oh, sweet Sabrina...
