Lisa keeps posting on my blog
Lisa has decided she can post on my blog. I say no. What's the ettiquette here?
Anyway, rumors are flying.
Yes, I had a nasty brewing accident.
Brewers, and for that matter cooks in general, BEWARE!!
As part of my sparging set-up, I lost my grip on an 8-qt stockpot of boiling water. This resulted in a great deal of screaming (real screaming) and the throwing of myself into a frigid shower and the frantic application of ice to sensitive areas. Oh, and the abandoment of a batch of steam beer. The mash was adopted later that day by my next door neighbor/
After a trip to the emergency room, a follow-up at a burn center, morphine and other powerful drugs, and the application of various ointments and unguents by a lovely Ukrainian woman, the ultimate picture is that I'm leaving for London in one piece. I have first-degree burns all over my chest (like an unusually nasty sunburn) and nasty second-degree burns (think yellow pussy blisters and some skinless patches) on both legs. Fortunately, the burns to truly delicate areas are minor.
All in all it was a truly horrifying experience, but I'm seeing the first stages of some healing already. It will be an inconvenience and will involve some pain for a couple weeks. The burn dude said there'd be no scarring so all things considered I feel very fortunate. It could've been worse.
So BE CAREFUL WITH HOT LIQUIDS, ya hear?!

He omits to mention the large first-degree and small second-degree burns to his boys.
I'm slowly working my way through the posts here and having a good time. Any thoughts of posting more of your recipes?
Thanks for reading. Yeah, I put up a recipe now and again, but not that consistently. I'll keep that in mind. I'm about to launch into four or five batches in the next week or two.
