Owowowowow!

Still figuring out this cooking, thing, but I'm learning to do spaghetti (yes, it's boiling water, but I have this weird phobia about cooking. Gives me panic attacks, so I'm taking things slow.)

Everything was fine until it came time to drain the pasta.. dumping into the strainer, some of the water splashed up and hit my fingers. Sonofabitch! Stood with my fingers in ice for a little bit. No blisters, just a little redness.

The spaghetti (or as like to call it, piles of parmesan cheese with occasional strands of pasta) was good.

Pointless update finished.

When Iwas learning to cook, I frequently burned my knuckles on the edges of the over or the oven racks. Never too seriously, though, and I did get better eventually. (My difficulties were likely related to my lack of depth perception; I had to learn by experience how big to oven is.)
