<br />
it so happens that one of the ingredients i used today in my cooking were<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #e69138;">chili peppers</span></span>. if you've never used chili peppers then i recommend <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">wearing gloves</span> before you wash and chop them and then <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">washing your hands </span>very well when your done.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">i didn't follow my own rule so i ended up with a horrible burning sensation on my fingers and parts of my hands. i washed my hands over and over again with water and soap, but it really didn't help. i googled ways to relieve the stinging and came across several remedies.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">one involved washing your hands and then rubbing olive oil on your hands and letting it seep into the skin and then washing again, but after a while my hands felt the same way.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">then i tried another remedy and this one definitely relieved the burn after two tries.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6d4ot7rvAraXdN-AfrzMfKdMaJjsuKTIvjqLbDgKlxh2KS1yNZxizd3x47VAcBI1WHnF6SVA3C8dDshKjXFugkiGXUCfWKZ2d2ys3k1A63ZdDkPzz0c7jozTS_RrUiWXRZ2SlR9Zs94/s1600/DSC_0906.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6d4ot7rvAraXdN-AfrzMfKdMaJjsuKTIvjqLbDgKlxh2KS1yNZxizd3x47VAcBI1WHnF6SVA3C8dDshKjXFugkiGXUCfWKZ2d2ys3k1A63ZdDkPzz0c7jozTS_RrUiWXRZ2SlR9Zs94/s640/DSC_0906.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">i dipped my hands in ice water for a few seconds until they were numb, then i washed them with water and soap, i dipped them in the ice water again, and then i rubbed my hands with alcohol. then after awhile, i repeated the process but skipped the water and soap. i have to say my hands felt completely relieved.</div><br />

bon appetite!<br />
what ingredients do you like to include in your quiche?Vermont Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08926055430306995902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326760044961146341.post-39859619071852521752012-09-08T08:54:00.001-04:002012-09-08T12:46:36.618-04:00current reading obsessioni've always been an avid reader, but since becoming a mom three years ago the time i can actually spend reading a good leisurely book has declined. now that my son is more independent and has developed interests that sometimes don't have to involve mommy 24/7 i've been able to get back into a reading groove.<br />
<br />
i tend to lean more often then none to chic lit, but often do veer toward vampire love stories {i.e. the twilight series which i read in December of 2008} and other popular mainstream books {i.e. the hunger game series-I just love peeta}.<br />
<br />
in the last month i've read two books by <a href="http://www.emilygiffin.com/">emily giffin,</a> Something Borrowed and Something Blue. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeGyOyphzlJaWNmb0VWJr4gS_1OWtwwvE2a3CrP4qnbOg9acv3zSnlvQdh4yGNKkyq6T094QhU5oQDER0zd2b_fc9fgPzW469WbyR9KA8fTdsLjIhIrJCZc7u_g53rJ1xfghlVcuU8PQ/s1600/SomethingBorrowed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeGyOyphzlJaWNmb0VWJr4gS_1OWtwwvE2a3CrP4qnbOg9acv3zSnlvQdh4yGNKkyq6T094QhU5oQDER0zd2b_fc9fgPzW469WbyR9KA8fTdsLjIhIrJCZc7u_g53rJ1xfghlVcuU8PQ/s1600/SomethingBorrowed.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
if you haven't read these books, the first one may sound famliar. Something Borrowed was turned into a movie starring ginnifer goodwin and kate hudson not too long ago, plus as of lately they've been showing it on HBO a lot. as it goes, i read Something Borrowed because of the movie and then decided to read the "sequel" Something Blue. <br />

book is entitled baby proof, but has nothing to do with the other two books. i plan on starting reading it today and be done before the 25th because its due back in the library. <br />
<br />
<br />
if i end up liking this book as well, chances are i'll read the rest of giffin's books.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">my family and i spent the last two years in virginia so the hubby could attend grad school. he graduated in may and as you might've guessed we now live in vermont because of his brand new job.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">although, my husband's family is originally from vermont he has never lived here full-time. i'm originally from puerto rico and have only been to vermont on vacation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">now that we officially live here, i'm trying to get settled in while taking care of our three old and prepping for the arrival of our new baby.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">as of now life consists of cleaning, cooking, decorating our place, nesting, playgroups, preschool, discovering fun places, trying to make friends-which i confess to not being very good at, and trying to look good while doing all of this.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">yes, i am a stay at home mom, but used to be a teacher. eventually i plan on going back to the workforce because let's face it there's no point for me in being a full time stay at home mom once my kids go to school all day. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">i hope to use this blog as a way to communicate with others out there and share a bit about the things i like and read about others.</div>Vermont Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08926055430306995902noreply@blogger.com2
