Life Lesson # 3

Life Lesson #3- When handling boiling syrup, take care not to knock it from the burner.

     Yesterday I was making buttercream frosting by the stove-top method. When the mixture of sugar and water started boiling, I turned the heat down and went to find the lid to the sauce pan. I pulled one out and put it on the pan, but it was too big. As I was taking the lid off to get the right size, it caught the edge of the pan, pulling it from the burner. Boiling syrup spilled down my arm and across my kitchen floor. My arm was not badly burnt but I had to mop the floor a total of seven times.

This isn't my picture, but it should give you the idea.
