When I was first married, I was making "homemade"maple syrup. As I was stirring, & trying to read the recipie at the same time, I noticed that it was beginning to come to a rolling boil. Of course, I had no candy thermometer, and stuck my index finger in the syrup to see if it was hot.....wow, it really burned, so to cool off my finger.....yep, I stuck it in my mouth! Fortunately, I have survived those early mishaps, but have dozens of more stories.
My Dad's comment when he heard what I had done: "Doggone it! You had more sense when you were 4 yrs old!" (said lovingly).
