Uh oh.
After a four-day trip to Menlo Park, I came home to find a nasty mess in the kitchen.
This is not good!
From the location, the washing machine wasn’t the cause. Did the roach baits explode? Did roaches eat the roach baits and melt?
The sink is exonerated!
The garbage disposal isn’t the guilty party either. And it shouldn’t be, it’s about 2 months old!
What a mess.
Ah, this is the scene of the crime. And that’s going to take a lot of cleaning up! In the end it took me two hours. Blissfully most of the food in that cupboard is in cans, glass or plastic so I only lost two boxes of pasta.
We at least there was only one piece of glass to pick up.
I’ve had this a couple months. I guess it was still fermenting…
In retrospect, I did hear a couple strange popping noises coming from the kitchen in the couple days before I left, but hadn’t figured out then what they were. Now I know.
And while I was gone, in the desert heat the vinegar dried to a sticky goo thicker than molasses.
Reminds me of a very old country song “Pop A Top Again.” Hopefully the clean up is not too bad.

Oh yum. But better than the dead rats I sometimes have to locate by smell…

Interesting, how does a bottle of olive oil break like that?

It was vinegar, not olive oil, and I really don’t know! Perhaps there was a flaw in the glass? It has been in the cupboard a couple months and through hotter spells than this one when I was away and the A/C was off. I actually think it cracked when I was still home, hence the popping noises I couldn’t locate. I keep other bottles in the house in the heat without problems…. All the wine is safe. Sadly, the vinegar is more expensive than the wine.
