Today’s post is going to have to be short and sweet. I’m a master of procrastination and as a result I’ll be trading sleep for writing a research paper tonight.
I’ve injured myself cooking before, as I’m sure most people have, but this weekend I practically tattooed myself. I tripped as I was pulling a baking sheet out of the oven, and jabbed it into my right forearm. The result:
The letters ESSE are now branded onto my arm, and my friends and I have had a good laugh over it.
Has anyone else had any cooking injuries they’d like to share?

Looks painful but looks kinda neat too. Hope it doesn’t hurt too much. If you haven’t already you want to get some aloe vera on it – aloe vera is my best friend.I am the queen of burning accidents. Seriously, I can’t cook anythng without burning myself at least once. My mum has just given me some oven mitts (I use a tea towel) so lets see if that makes a difference. But I don’t think it will.

It hurt like a bitch initially, but it just looks cool now. Jeni – aloe vera is a great idea. We have something in common – I burn myself all the time, though usually it’s not quite as bad as this. I’ve been using a tube of neosporin I found in my first aid kit. I think it’s time I buy an aloe plant!

Ouch! Last week I burned my hand because I put a cookie sheet in the oven, and then decided I should put some aluminum foil on it, after it was already hot. I pulled it out of the oven with a glove, but then promptly started smoothing down the foil with my hand. Duh. And it wasn’t even a cool-looking burn like yours.
