Happy belated Easter every one.

Even though I do not participate in the whole religious shebang that surrounds Easter (I was born Roman-Catholic, enough said), this Easter was fully packed with cooking, visiting, entertaining, being entertained and cooling my right hand because of burns.

But first things first. On Thursday night, when I was preparing dinner I burnt my right hand with hot burning oil. Instant vesicles :( But I got some good salve at home and during the night the pain also subsided. Then on Good Friday we were invited, so no serious cooking for me though I had volunteered for dessert. Saturday my mom in law came to visit us and I baked a cake and in the evening a whole chicken for four (a friend came by and was instantly invited as well). Sunday we had brunch at our home and I had to bake bread, make a potatoe salad and other stuff. Monday ... a little brunch for two friends with kosher cooking.

Soooo .. even though I didn't do the family thing, we had a fully packed Easter and right now, this very minute, is the first time I sit in front of the computer and have some time to myself all alone (well, alone being relative as three dogs surround my computer in various states of reclining, dozing and sleeping). I think I will take a nap after I have stored away the grocery stuff. I need a break from the past few days :)

It is and was but also very stressful with my hand not fully functional (and still hurting). Simple every day things like taking a shower or even washing your hair is a wee bit difficult as the right hand is still very heat sensitive and the blisters are opening up which looks a bit yucky as well :s
But it was good to see old friends again, and spending time with new friends and getting to know them better.

ooh, that sounds sooo painful! did you need to go to the doc, or was the salve you have enough? ya, amazing how easily handicapped we are, isn't it?

It is painful and I think I have to go to the doctors after all tomorrow. I keep it clean and dysinfected but with five dogs and so many hens and ducks you'll never know what kind of stuff gets into the wounds :s
