Oh I have all sorts of minor disasters and many of them don't even involve the first aid kit! But my all-time favorite remains one of my mom's when I was 12 or 13.

She was in the middle of baking bread when we were called away on a minor emergency. She figured that the best thing to do would be to refrigerate the dough (to retard the yeast) and to put it in a tightly sealed container (so it wouldn't dry out). The best container she could come up with was the pressure cooker.

Can you see where this is going?

Three hours later when we returned home, the dough had risen enough to create pressure within the cooker and seal the gasket.

She had to pull four loaves' worth of bread dough out of the cooker through the 1/4" vent hole. I don't even remember how long it took!
