I'm making a roast and having some friends over here shortly, just though I'd share this...
My apartment has very sharply sloped floors, I figure, if thats my biggest complaint about the place, then I'm doing fine. About two weeks ago I had an incident with the stove where it fell off the 2x4 that was under it to keep it level, and I thought that I resolved this issue then, but I guess not.
Anyway, I seared the roast and packed vegetables all around it filling the baking dish with cooking wine, water and a touch of vinegar - very tasty. I covered it in foil and put it in the oven - and then I remembered the bay leaves - which I think are rather important. So, I open the over, slide out the rack and peel back the foil - just in time to dodge as the over slips off the 2x4, a cast iron pan goes sailing off the top of the stove past my head and lands on the floor, followed promptly by the roasting pan, roast, and 3-4 pounds of chopped vegetables, and about a quart of red-wine/water/vinegar mix....
Once the din died down and I stopped screaming "Son of a Bitch" at the top of my lungs...
Threw out the vegetables, rinsed the roast, re-seasoned it, and chopped all the vegetables again.
Merry -edited- Christmas.
The up side is that all that red-wine quickly disappeared under the floor boards which means that the downstairs neighbors are gonna _love_ me in about a week or two.
