Lesson Burned

So, I volunteered to work at the Hostfest Wednesday and today. At the funnel cake and cheese curd stand. Dumb move! After 4-1/2 hours Wednesday and 5 hours today, all I have to show for it are two fingers burned to a crisp with huge blisters on them. Apparently you're not supposed to drag your fingers through the hot oil when you reach into the vat for a funnel cake. Who knew???
