Important safety tip: never stir a pot of boiling soup while naked.

[Shakespeare]

I now have a baseball-sized burn on my upper abdomen where I accidentally sloshed some out of the stockpot this morning. Long story--couldn't sleep because of a bad head cold, so I got up at 3 a.m. to make myself some homemade chicken soup. No more stirring while sleepy, no more stirring while naked. That is all.

1. This thread is useless without pics!

I kid, I kid... :hug:

Ouchie!! I still have a scar from my run-in with the oven rack a few months back. x(

I hope it heals quickly babe. :hug:

:loveya:

4. On the bright side, however, the soup is spectacular.

I added half a head of garlic and a hunk of fresh ginger root to the stock/broth phase of the soup in addition to the usual aromatics (since those supposedly have healing properties, too). Strained everything out after a couple of hours, added back the chicken meat I'd pulled off the bones, added a mirapoix I cooked separately, and a cup of acini di pepe pasta. It had better cure me!

5. You are the most hardcore foodie...

If I were to be up at 3 and hungry, the farthest I would go is scrambled eggs or pasta. :rofl:

6. I know - what is it with food people?

My SO is like that - I'd live on instant oatmeal and tortillas if it weren't for him. :rofl:

7. heh....my motivation was mostly medicinal

I was lying in bed feeling miserable and thinking "I need chicken soup." Canned just didn't sound as potentially curative as homemade. :rofl:

2. My SO has discovered that fact about cooking bacon naked

I pointed out to him that he shouldn't be eating bacon anyway. He was thrilled by my compassion. :P

Sorry about your burn. :(

3. I always use a spoon instead. n/t

8. Cooking bacon in the nude is also a bad idea.
