Days without a clean bill of health: 10 days.

So I'm almost there now, just the mornings' cold starts and the dry chilly nights causing me to cough small chunks of phlegm. I'm doing well.

So I was cooking yesterday, when I made this really bone-headed mistake. Spatula with hot gravy on it should go nowhere but the pan.

This was the result

This was the solution

Now normally people use running water, but that's just a waste of a resource Melbourne could make do with more of. Not having a bag of frozen peas or even ice cubes only makes the issue more tricky. Not that I prefer the frozen flesh of a fowl to soothe my burns, just that I've got to make do with what I have, eh?

The result, not the best thing in the world, but tasted pretty darned good I must say.

[P.S. The burn didn't lead to any scarring thankfully. The red mark went away in like 2 hours, or before I realised it, whichever was shorter.]
