Today, I made dozens of cookies just in time for Christmas. When I went to take out the last pan from the oven, I slipped. In a desperate attempt to catch the pan I grabbed it with my bare hand. My hand is striped like a candy cane. FML

Today, after placing it on top of the stove, my hot tray of freshly-baked cookies slipped. I caught it, though. With my bare hand. FML

Today, I was in a hurry to get something out of the oven, so I quickly grabbed my roommate's only oven mitt and grabbed the pan in the oven. It didn't take long to figure out there was a hole in it when my thumb hit the hot pan. FML

Today, I dropped a pizza I made. Don't worry though, I caught it between my hands and legs. I no longer have fingerprints on my right hand. FML

Today, I was baking cookies. When I took the tray out of the oven I closed the door, but it bounced back open and hit me in the back of the knees. That caused me to sit down on the hot oven door. I was just wearing my short bathrobe and no underwear. I really burned my ass and um...stuff. FML

Today, I was cleaning a pan. I turned the water on, and it was super hot. My reaction was to slam my hand down. On a knife. So, not only do I have a burned hand, but there's also a huge cut on it from the knife. FML

Today, while bending over to get the brownies I was making out of the oven, my husband slapped my butt. I fell into the oven. FML

Today, to be nice, I baked cookies for my step-mom as a birthday present. I burnt my hand while putting them in the oven, but I'd hoped it would be worth it. When she got home, I gave one for her to try. She took a bite, spit it out, and threw it on the floor, asking if it was a joke or if I was really trying to poison her. FML

Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML

Today, I tried my hand at baking homemade individual apple tarts. While taking them out of the oven, I dropped the entire tray on the floor. My dog acted like it was Christmas in August and scarfed at least half of them. FML

Reflexes are fun, aren't they? It's probably a bit late for this, but one trick I learned is that if you put some honey on a burn right after it happens, it helps keep it from blistering. It sounds odd, I know, but one of the cooks at my former workplace did that when I spilt hot soup on my hand once, and I didn't get a single blister. Helped keep a little of the pain off, too!

Not just any honey will work. You want the medicinal honey. They actually sell a gel. Medicinal honey is what the burn clinic prescribed to try to get my hand to heal. It didn't work completely, but it did some. On a minor burn it would work quite well.

I guess the honey she used was medicinal, then. That or the burn was never that bad to begin with. It did help, though. So I suppose either way, it works.

That sucks, but at least you didn't do like me and pull a casserole just taken out of the oven to your chest. Compounded by the fact that I was just wearing a bra, no shirt. The doctor had a hard time keeping a straight face, and all the women at work insisted I show them how bad the burn was.
