I'm fairly thick skinned, so I haven't turned the heat on in the apt yet. So, it's about 65 degrees or so. I just smacked a pack of wy1968, and I was needing also to soften some butter to make some cookies, and I get an idea. I turn on the oven for about 30 seconds, then pop the butter and yeast inside where it's more cozy.
Yep, you can probably see where this is going.
I continue on with dinner, and my girlfriend arrives with some surprise fancy breadsticks. Great! I'll pre-heat the oven!
About 3 minutes later, we hear a very loud POP!
The silver lining is that the smack pack ruptured on top, and didn't spray yeast all over the hot oven. I can't imagine how that would smell.

Definitely funny!!! I remember a while back reading about this guy who was hiding his fireworks in the oven so his roommates wouldn't find them and one of them decided to have a pizza. #1 on the instructions: Preheat oven.... :o

Luckily, I planned my starter well ahead, so I'm still on track for my Jubelale clone. But I did spill some homebrew for my poor, dead yeasties. Sorry I let ya down, guys!
