I had to get to the chemist first thing this morning, ‘cause the burn on my thigh was not looking or feeling better. The pharmacist said that it is probably a third degree burn and as it is double the size of a 50cent piece I should have seen the doctor on Monday. I felt really silly telling him I sloshed boiling water all over myself! His opinion was that the burn- although bad- was not yet infected and that a bandage over it for the next three days straight should get the healing on its way. Let us hope!
The bandage is waterproof, but there will be showers for me- and no baths.
In honour of my HOT thigh (a hunk of burnin’ love):
Old Pepper
Pour out 45 ml bourbon into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Squeeze in 30ml lemon juice, dash of worcestershire sauce, dash of chilli sauce, dash of tabasco and 2 dashes angostura bitters. Shake and strain into a sour glass.
AND, a HOT shot:
Prairie Fire: 30ml tequila, few drops or more of Tabasco. Shoot it. Have a lime wedge- or milk- on standby!
