Causing severe redness and burning.

But those potatoes will be worth it, I'm sure. Pin It

Don't you just hate it when you do that?
I hope you had ice handy...
Any word on the Titre de Sejour?
We have waited 6 weeks just to get the forms for the renewal....and still counting....

I had lots of cold water and ice on hand. It still hurt today, though.
Yes, I got a temporary Carte de Séjour last Friday because I demanded something official for when I leave for the States on next Friday.
The I looked at it more closely, and lo and behold, it is my regular Carte de Séjour! I was going to write a post about it today. We're still having problems with my husband's however.
Good luck with yours....I feel for you!

That sucks. I burned my hand on boiling polenta. Not fun.

colleen,
You should see the back of my hand now. I have a big red spot and you can actually see the marks where the hot fat dripped down the back of my hand.
Polenta burns. Ouch!!! I can sympathize.
