Title: Has this ever happened to you?
Post by: Diane CBPFC on July 11, 2011, 10:47:47 PM
I just burned my foot cooking. Don't worry it wasn't serious but was quite surprising.

I started asking for "half a cream" when getting take-out coffee because at home I take milk and found the one cream too much. My last trip to McDonalds the manager came over and showed me the cup and asked; "Are you sure you want this much cream?" - summer student had filled the paper cup half full of cream.  :)

I once stabbed myself in the foot while cooking - does that count? The bradawl fell out of the little cupboard above the cooker and landed in a vein - blood everywhere!

WHat were you cooking Vulch?

You half expect a hand injury or to burn your hair/eyebrows but you kinda expect your feet to be safe when cooking.

I'm just asking Vulch because it would be funnier less understandable if you were cooking say chocolate pudding rather than steak.

WHat were you cooking Vulch?

I can't actually remember; I had only just moved into this flat and things were just shoved into any empty space. Obviously, I hadn't got a place for odds and sods so they pushed into this handy little cupboard a foot above my head. I hadn't realised how much I stuffed in there and gravity won over tidiness...  I do remember having to rip the blood-soaked carpet tiles off the floor the next day and they've never been replaced!

When using the fan-assisted oven, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed never fails to burn herself - as the hot air rapidly heats up her dangling necklace as she opens the oven.  The reaction comes when the necklace touches her as she stands up from leaning over the oven door. 

I, myself, do not get injured whenever cooking (hot oil splashes, singed arms, sharp impalments excepted)  .

Your wife should swing her pendant behind her back when opening the oven door.

Another problem solved on Beau Peep.

Tell her that we'll all be laughing at her on the BP forum if she does it again. The thought of that will help her remember.

I've burnt a few "plates of meat", and I'm sure it's possible to burn a sole. (Those are feet references.)

Seriously though, I've never burnt a foot, but at a nudist BBQ recently I came close to burning eleven inches.

You left your plastic ruler in the barbecue?

Thank goodness you mentioned the plastic ruler Mince, I was imagining Nige's back hair had ignited.

Read it again, Diane - I wrote "a sole".

About 20 years ago I broke my big toe while cooking - it's amazing how heavy a can of baked beans is when it rolls off the worktop, especially as I was in my bare feet.  :'(
Still it probably gave the staff in A&E a laugh and is also probably on a Government database somewhere to prove that baked beans are bad for your wellbeing.

Poor Jerry - if I were you I would glam up the story a bit and say it was peaches that got you. (you don't want people to think you were farty at the doctors).

My neighbour is a plastic surgeon. He fell asleep too close to the fire and melted.

That last post deserves the Last Post.


In my defence it was written in reply to Mince's plastic ruler quip, back on page 1 where it was more relevant, and I didn't know more stuff had been written in between on Page 2.

I get that problem as well, Malc.  Missing the newer posts on the following page..  Note to self ... Look for the page count before responding.

That 'joke' was terrible and fully deserves the last but one post.

Next to last but one, you mean, surely?

Not even that, really.
