This is what I get for daring to make pralines today. I was mixing the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda on the stove, trying to keep it from boiling over, and then I get hit in the face by a flyaway glob of molten candy.

I'm okay right now; I cleaned up the burn and put some aloe on it, and now we have pralines made. Going by the rate me and my mom are currently consuming, we'll be out by the end of the weekend.
