I have some scars from various burns. I do a lot of canning (pressure and water-bath) and I've probably gotten the most burns from the simple art of cooking jam. My most injurious incident happened when cleaning up. I cut my finger to the bone on a food processor blade during clean up. That required stitches. Unfortunately, it was just days before a trip back to see family in Turkey and since I had to have the stitches removed when I was there, my stinking insurance wouldn't pay the $150 they charged me in Istanbul for the stitch removal. They (insurance) told me that I should have canceled our trip (costing us thousands from canceled airfare) if we had wanted them to pay for the stitch removal. Never a dull moment around here.
