Last Monday Carl a I was putting together ratatouille for Tuesday dinner at church. Carl was chopping all the veggies and I was sauteing and cooking. We got to the point of adding the eggplant and we did not thing we had enough ratatouille. So, Carl went to the store and picked up two more eggplants. Eggplant needs to be first saute before adding it to the whole pot. I did a stupid thing. I thought I could heat up oil in the cast iron pan under the broiler and put the eggplant in and do it that way. Not so. Carl had entered the kitchen and said something is smoking in the oven. I could not see the smoke but knew I had the pan with oil under the broiler on. He did not know this. I proceed to open the oven door and a big flame of fire came out and my intial reaction was to pull out the pan. Now this pan is a cast iron (heavy)full of hot oil. My hand could not hold the pan and I dropped the pan on the floor and my foot got coated with hot oil. BURN.......

I look back on this and I should of grabbed the salt that was right theeveryir on the counter and poured it on the pan. Stupid me...

Well I have a first degree burn on the top of my foot. I am applying frankincense and myrrh. These resins help in healing. I am recouping, keeping my foot higher than my heart keeps the swelling down.

Iceing it every few hours. Not doing any waling around.

Looking forward to Sundays message and I'll have to put a slipper on my burnt foot. Jeanniebean
