Food network?? I think not...

So i'll be honest, i'm a pretty good cook and quite creative, right? Well, we have lived in our little house for a little over a month now and still have yet to purchase a microwave... I was craving hot chocolate the other night and decided to be innovative. So since i didn't have a microwave to heat up our milk, i put it in my nice big Pyrex measuring cup and put it on medium heat on the stove. I'm thinking, i can totally cook this stove-top because we cook in Pyrex pans all the time, right? WRONG, very wrong, once i had poured our hot milk into our mugs i set the Pyrex in the sink and put scalding hot tap water in it, thinking this will help everything come to equilibrium. Well about five seconds later it literally exploded into a zillion pieces!!!
