I always knew it was the doughnuts that would do me in . . .

So, I did two hours of work this morning from 5.30am to 7.30am because - well because I'm insane.

Part of the open is cooking doughnbuts in very hot (180 degress celcius or so) oil, before throwing them in cinnamon and piping jam into them.

It was all going well and I was just flipping one of the second batch over when disaster stuck. The doughnut splashed down too heavily, sending oil up over the tongs I was using, and all over the back of my right hand.

I screamed. Loudly. The bakers were concerned. I ran cold water on it, and then had to go get on with it. So now I've got all these red burn marks over the back of my hand and it's sore and difficult to use and I'm just thankful that I'm left handed.

I think the doughnuts are out to get me . . .

I will smack the next doughnut I see.
Look after yourself.

Eeek! Grease burns scare me, especially after that one episode of Spooks...

I never even thought of that - ahhhhh

You realise I'm going to have nightmares now, right *g*

Yeah, that was mean... *g* at belette

*hugs* Mel. Evil donuts. Or doughnuts...

I'm in a wierd mood. But I still know hot oil hurts.

Ow! It's a shame Johnson's don't make their burn cream anymore, that stuff was wonderful. Hope you can find something nice and soothing.

Doughnuts made me puke once, too. They ARE evil! (Admittedly, a merry go round was also involved).

Dettol aniseptic cream with almond oil - perfect *g*

Donuts, rings of the scary skeletal hand of death himself

A little known fact. Try this:

1. line three doughnuts up in a row flat on a table
2. halve another two doughnuts
3. swallow one of the 4 resulting halves while chanting "Bast Lilith Diana Ho!"
4. line the three remaining halves up, one above each of the full doughnuts

You see? you see! The doughnuts actually form the numerals 666.

Spooky, I know.

Hope your hand is better! Hot oil is ouchy.

PS: Why are they called doughnuts anyway? Sure they're made of dough, but what's so freakin nutlike about them?

*hee*

You know, all up I've worked with doughnuts of one kind or another for about a year and a quarter and I've never been able to work out why they're called that . . .

ACK! Tania warned me that could happen. (And about third-degree burns from the fondant icing ... oh, fondant icing, how I miss thee!)

I hope it heals quickly. *hugs carefully to avoid further damage*

*squee!*

I want to steal your icon!
