Today my Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits exploded

[rachelmanija]

While I was sitting peacefully in my kitchen, I heard a loud bang, immediately followed by a clatter. I turned around and saw a sight which I am now sorry I did not photograph. It consisted of the trash bag into which I had chucked a large unopened can of Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits upon cleaning out my refrigerator and discovering that they had expired months ago, the open and empty can standing upright all the way across the kitchen from the trash bag, and three uncooked buttermilk biscuits scattered across the kitchen, like pale cow pattys.

This is not the first time I've had something explode in my kitchen, but it was possibly the most spectacular.

We had a roll of those biscuits explode in the car on the way home from the grocery store once. It was not the kind of sound that is reassuring in a car.

I hadn't realized this was such a common occurrence.

Once the package is somewhere warm, it's generally just a matter of time. It shouldn't happen in the fifteen minutes between the store and our house, but it did that time. Usually, it seems to take longer.

Oh my God. You'd think you'd blown a tire, wouldn't you.
