the kitchen, the danger zone...
they say some people can't even boil a pot of water. i find this ridiculous...i mean, really, who couldn't do that? you're not the one doing the work...the stove or fire is. it's like claiming you did the dishes when really you just
put them in the dishwasher. the dishwasher technically is doing all the work. anyway...the point is in my attempt to be fancy in cake decorating, which i have zero experience, i burnt my hand on steam coming from my makeshift double broiler. don't worry, i recognize and accept the stupidity of the whole set up. but on just steam?!?!!? weak, i know....there's barely a mark to show for the dull ache i'm dealing with. the lesson learned for today: white chocolate is a punk and the milk chocolate is my friend. will this cake look slightly ghetto and home baked? friggin' rights....but it's with love and that's all that matters.
although could my name and reputation be somewhat at stake....?

Hey Tamara, don't feel whimpy about getting burned by steam. Steam is actually hotter than hot water and can cause a way nastier burn than boiling water. I once burned my thumb with steam and a one inch by one inch piece of skin went completely numb, shriveled up and peeled away over the course of a few days. I guess you didn't really need those details.
