~Did It AGAIN!~ :-(

Well , another bad burn...I decided last nite I hadn't had
my favorite, french fries n gravy in ages and was starved
so I decided to make some.. When Raelynn was here
I had her clean out the old grease from my deep fryer and
put in new. I Fired that thing up.. peeled and cut up my
potatoes..rolled up to the counter..and like I have done a
thousand times, I dropped the fries in..and SPLOOSH !
that grease splashed up and got my hand (right) really bad.
I have a huge blister at the base of my thumb..that part
just where it goes into the base of your palm..The burn is
about an inch across..got some on the back of my hand
as well, but not as badly as there..It REALLY hurts..well
kept me up most of the night cuz I just couldnt get comfy,
find a way to lay it..even to type this is hard as the burn
is where it rests on my keyboard..this isn't easy..so you
know this is not going to be a long post tonite.. One of
these days I will not be damaged when I try to cook..I
will be SO glad, I love good food, and I KNOW what I
fix IS good ..lol I know..I'm braggin but I'm GOOD lol
( GORGEOUS too ) knew i'd say that too didnt ya?
:-).

Its discouraging for me to go into my kitchen and I sit
there, trying to decide WHAT is the easiest to fix..that I
wont damage myself OR my boys..let alone burn down
my kitchen or something lol...It makes me NOT want to
cook..just microwave stuff and I still get burnt on that too.
I love to cook..to prepare all the stuff then to watch and
smell as it cooks..those delicious odors ..depending on
what I am making I would eat while I cooked.. When I
made something I specially liked for David (ex) and I --
like fried green tomatoes..or potato pancakes.. I have
to make sure I made extra as I would eat alot of them
before I finished the meal..well?? that's the joys of being
the cook..you get to be the taster as well..and I would
HATE for my cooking to not taste good ..so I had to
taste it.and .Fried green tomatoes? Well..I have NO will
power when I prepare them..They are SO good the
taste, if you have never made them..well its hard to say,
but trust me..get some green toh-mah-toes , slice them,
beat egg, dip in that, then in bread crumbs..and fry till
they re golden brown..and M M M M...some GOOOOD
eating..trust me..the taste is NOT what you expect it
to be..its a bit tangy..but mild but VERY good.. :-)

My thumb is killing me and I have to take a break from
typin..I'll be back tomorrow..its Mom's Day, I miss mine.
I really do..I dont need a day to remind me to remember
or think of her..but all mom's n dad's deserve the respect
of having a special day for them just to be pampered..
hmmm..wonder if they have a Feeble Weeble Day? lol..
well thats every day for me ..haha Saved YOU from sayin
it didnt I? lol..I ment it in a good way though ..ha! HOW
did YOU mean it? hehehe..well you can call me anything -
nothing bad..and PLEASE..NEVER call me late for supper
ok ? nitey nite.. :-D

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya...& thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

May God Bless you today,
I'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    What is with the Belgians? with such a small country they make better fries than the French and then there is beer. The Belgian beers is great!!!
    I like duvel (Devil) Kriek is great and then there is Chimet. Can anybody across the pond comment about the ales of the UK - here in the US we like Sammy Smith's

    Dear Lois,
    If YOU don't tell people how clever you are, sure as Hell, no one else will. It's not bragging, it's just telling the truth, and your Dad always told you to do that, now didn't he?
    I'm not much of a beer drinker, myself, Momar, but Stella Artois is pretty good. We have grown more civilised here since the war ('39-'45) and some of us actually drink our beer COLD!!!!! John Smith's Bitter is good. It comes in a can with a "Widget", which gives it a good head. The local cider is pretty good, too. And then there is "Scrumpy", the local raw cider that can blow your head off at fifty paces!!!
    Lois, I have been a good boy and read your other postings, and enjoyed them all. Thank you.
    First aid for burns:- Hold the burnt part under the running cold water faucet for TEN minutes, timed on the clock (NOT what feels like ten minutes!!), immediately after you have been burnt. It will heal quicker and feel less painful. There is nothing quite as painful as a burn, is there?
    Take care, hon, till I can make you that low table!! Lots of love and hugs from
    Raife.
