Hi to those who are bothered to read my blog, hope you are well. Yesterday after an intense workout session at the gym, I was very hungry and ready to eat anything that was remotely edible. I was craving shrimps and especially a specific shrimp dish my mum makes...yuuuuum. I wanted home cooked food and I was channelling my mum as I whizzed around my kitchen, getting things from the fridge with one hand and shutting a drawer with a good old kick while getting a pan then doing a mini bear walk to clean up spillage. It was a event in itself.
I was possessed by the foodies spirit and I was trying to make sure that the dish is spot on mama Karam style; stirring the onions in the same way she does and transporting the powdered spices from their dormant jars to the bubbling and simmering pan, when I had to drain the vegetables I had boiled earlier. As I was taking the pan off the stove and starting the initiation process of my steamy veggie facial, I burnt myself with the steam and the clear liquid lava that was the boiling water.
Straight away I said to myself, "damn those righty pans. Can't they make a lefty pan so I can bloody well drain something without risking 3 degree burns?"
Even though I had a burnt finger, the pain of my rumblig stomach asking for food overshadowed the pain in my finger caused by the inconvenient righty pan.
Word of caution: anyone who is cooking should take care, lefty or right, but for you lefties that have numerous steam burns, wear gloves or let someone else do it for you, preferably a lefty.
Until the next post, have a left day!
