don't burn the baby
Did I tell you I made rice krispy treats last week? It was my first time!! I mean, I may have made them when I was a kid, but I dont even remember. This time it was just me, the butter and marshmellows & a bit ol' pot on the stove. And, they came out great!! But then I didn't wrap em up fast enough that afternoon, so they got a little hard. And so the next couple days whenever I wanted one I had to give it a little 10 second softening in the microwave. haha But I plan to make another batch soon. They're so easy!Since I work from home, I end up making most all of my meals here. I used to go out to lunch & dinner all the time, compared to now. But I quite like making food at home. I buy a whole bunch and so I have choices, and it just takes a bit to whip something up.
I've even been getting better at actually *cooking*. I'm not much of a cook, I freely admit, but recently I am seeing improvements! I'm getting better at timing everything out so that all the food is ready at the same time, and there's been a few times that I'm downright impressed with how easy it is to make something yummy.
But the thing is - in the last couple weeks I've burnt myself 3 times!!! Literally a little burn on my pinky had just barely healed before I burnt that same pinky on the other side - and then this morning I burnt my thumb!! Crimeny!
It's all from accidently knicking my hand against a hot pan, and the last two have been so quick that they're pretty little... but jeesh - can I stop burning myself already?!?!
