You're Not Going To Believe This......

I got beat up by canning again.

Does this happen to other people, or is it just me?  THIS time, I was working on my second batch of roasted vegetables for a roasted vegetable sauce, and managed to get a steam burn on my hand--all of it--from just opening the darn oven door.  When I tell you it hurt too much to knit, you know how bad it was.  Luckily, many Advil and a white chocolate martini allowed me to sleep, but I've spent today walking around with a white cotton glove on my hand to keep the skin from being rubbed by anything.

The only perk to this whole episode is that since it's Halloween weekend, I can just pass off the one white glove as a really lame Michael Jackson costume.

I do admit that the roasted vegetable tomato sauce (garlic, onions, red bell pepper, and tomatoes all roasted, then mixed with oregano and balsamic vinegar) is wonderful and we ended up with 20 1-cup jars.  When my hand stops hurting, we're going to try it on pizza.  Unless, of course, the pizza beats me up too.................

I think as long as you don't try to can the pizza you should be ok...
