Guys (╥_╥) today I seriously suffered in the kitchen.
So I basically burned my fingers while cooking, and when I say it hurt… it hurt hurt. I cried for like 2 hours straight. At first, I thought it was just the steam from the pot. I was steaming meat and, as usual, I went overboard with the pepper (because I LOVE pepper (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`). I covered the pot, and later when I opened it to stir, the hot vapor hit my left fingers.
I quickly put my hand in ice water, but the moment I took it out, the burning feeling came back even worse. It felt like my fingers were on fire, and I just couldn’t take it...I kept crying.
Then after TWO WHOLE HOURS, it finally clicked… it wasn’t just the steam burn. It was the pepper + heat combo (。•́︿•̀。)
Right now it still hurts, but it’s way better than those first few hours. Lesson learned: maybe… just maybe… don’t add that much pepper next time (╥_╥)
