Spaghetti for dinner

Well a long time ago, when I was in highschool, I was going to cook spaghetti for my sister and I. I put water in a pot and waited for it to boil. Once it boiled, I put the spaghetti in the pot and waited eight minutes for the spaghetti to get tender. Then I put the strainer in the sink and dumped the spaghetti in the strainer, but once the spaghetti was in the strainer some of the boiling water got on my hand and burnt the heck out of my hand. The water had given me a third degree burn.

There were bubbles forming on my hand that had turned into blisters. It was quite painful. My sister called my mom and she took me to the hospital and they gave me a prescription for a cream ointment that cleared it up in a few days.

I never forget that because I was not using an oven mitt when I was pouring the spaghetti into the strainer. I was using a towel which is the problem because the hot water can soak threw the towel which gave me third degree burns.

So now I use oven mitts on both hands or else I go and get spaghetti from a restaurant because some things are better left to the professionals.
