Things I've Learned This Week

I'm probably going to have to go in reverse order here to remember them all, but it's been a productive week.
1)Don't grab things out of the oven barehanded.
2)If cheese stays out overnight, don't eat it anyway, even if it still looks ok.
3)Don't drop an egg straight into a pan and try to scramble it, it doesn't work.
4)German forecasters are worse than American ones.
5)I don't do open spaces and heights at the same time.
6)Sandstone+pollution=bye-bye cathedral.
7)Everything is farther away than you think and on the "second light on the left"
8)Instant pasta rocks.
9)There are no marshmallows in Germany.

So, let me try and briefly explain. Why briefly? because my fingers are burned, making typing difficult.
1)Self explanatory. Tiff said "hold this," I said "ok." I didn't notice she was holding it with a pot holder. Valid detail. My hands have racing stripes now. In her defense, she told me not to, I just didn't react fast enough (surprise!).
2)I fed Tiff cheese I left out overnight. She's not doing so well now. Use your imaginations (And yes, btw, I am still in the doghouse for it).
3)see previous post, "egg-explosion-sandwich"
4)yeah, they tell me it's going to rain all day, it's sunny. They tell me sun, it rains. I've given up on the German weather forecasters for now.
I think all the other ones are covered in previous posts, and my hands are really killing me, so I'm gonna take a break now. Tonight's Stammtish 2 (Int'l group, remember?) and I don't know if we're camping tomorrow night or not. I'll try and get one more note off before I go.
Now, I must seek ice.
