Last year at about this time I burned the top of my foot. It was very painful and looked really bad, and so I went to see Dr A, my dermatologist.
He examined the wound and asked me how it had happened. For some reason I was too embarrassed to tell the whole truth, and so I was rather vague.
”Oh, it was just a kitchen accident.”, I said.
”Well”, he said, “whatever you did, you certainly got yourself a nice little third degree burn.”
”Oh dear, what will you do to me ?”, I asked fearing a painful skin debreeding procedure.
”I’ll tell you to wear your shoes the next time you’re frying latkes.” he said.
How did he know?

It must have been Chanukah!
Happy New Year!
Yes it was Elizabeth, the oily holiday!
The big question is did you eat the latke that fell on your foot?
Actually was just the oil from the frying pan that spattered, but a fallen latke would indeed be too good to waste – I’d serve to hubby!
Happy new year Artie!
Funny one!
Thanx Karlan, happy new year to you all!
Very funny, and the latkes look good. Great for New Year’s too!
They were Alice, thanx to all that miraculous Hannukah oil!
Nice photo of the latkes!
For a second as I scrolled down I thought you were sending a photo of your foot!
Thanx Fred, I decided the latkes were more photogenic than my foot!
Hope you’re now a blog subscriber!
With or without shoes, producing a latke that is edible is quite a feat!!!
Thanx Lynn, I’ve been told my latkes are so good they’ll knock your socks off!
