I bought a really nice, vintage glass, 2 cup measure to make my iced vanilla coffee in. The hubby would ask, just about every morning, "Can I use this measuring cup to put in the microwave" and NO! was always the answer! Well, I was getting ready for church one Sunday and wasn't there to answer that same 'ole question and therefore, he thought it was then OK to put my VINTAGE, $$$ measuring cup in the microwave. And guess what? It broke! He didn't tell me until we got home that afternoon, because he knew it would upset me. Then said it was my fault because it was always available to him! After straightening him out, we went shopping at antique stores and found another measuring cup, not as pretty, for twice as much.
