Grabbing a hot handle with a wet rag. That heat sure does transfer fast through a wet rag.

I've done this with a hot pad I didn't realize had a wet spot. PAINFUL!

I was not born to bake. That's why when I try to do it I often screw up the all-purpose flour/self rising flour and baking soda/faking powder.

stains every week. She also spills her Purple Lite at the gym in the women's dressing room. The cleaning lady has often complained to me about this.

So you hang out with the maid at your wife's gym? Why do I believe this is made up?

I believe one day she will mistake the cast iron skillet for a weapon and crush your skull.

Same here.

I also repeatedly make the mistake of very briefly walking away from something I've put under the broiler to come back to it completely scorched.

Someone bought us a set of gloves with the silicone on the end. I have one of those small silicone ones that you just slip over your thumb and fingers, but I liked these because they were an actual glove/mitt, but with the silicone at the end. Didn't realize that it was super thin and basically worthless. The lining in the fingertip came loose, and I had a cast iron skillet in my hand that was full of cornbread, so kind of heavy. Burned the mess out of my hand. I nearly broke our ceramic cooktop when I laid it down quickly. One of them was broken all the way so I tossed it. Kept the other just to pull the lid off of the grill with. The handle on my Weber Kettle gets a little warm. I'll never grab something from the oven with it again though.

My wife always puts water in my cast irons while hot and then let's them "soak". All the seasoning gone every time

Just soaking in water shouldn't unseason them unless they are fairly new. And if they are submerged the water won't bother them - just don't let them sit with just a bit of water then they start to rust and that is how you lose your seasoning scrubbing the rust off.

I just pulled my 15 gallon cast iron pot out of the back of one of my warehouses and it had a wasp nest in it about as big as a five gallon bucket lid. I'll build a fire and toss it in.

And my mistake is I've tried to pick it up without letting it cool and like to had to visit the BR General Burn Unit.

No. The cleaning lady at the gym, Miss Jackie, a large black lady whose nephew plays FB for LSU constantly complains that my wife spills her purple drink in the ladies room.

I tell Miss Jackie that I cannot go into the ladies room to clean it up but I have the same problem at home. BTW, this is Miss Jackie's nephew:



She says he's gonna be a LB for LSU.

I think there might be more than Purple Crystal Light in momma's Purple Drank.

Approxomately 2 days after reading the thread on messing up eggs in a too hot cast iron skillet, you guessed it, I did the same darned thing.
