butter burns

today, i learned that if you heat a tablespoon or two of butter in the microwave for thirty seconds, it will burn your tongue when you dip your bread in it and then eat it right away.

i think this one is pretty self explanatory. first, i was really, really hungry. second, i decided to eat the rest of my gf bread from easter with some butter. then i realized that there was no softened butter that wasn't contaminated with gluten at my parents' house. to solve this problem, i next decided to take 2 (ish) tablespoons of stick butter and melt it in a little bowl in the microwave for dipping. then, out of my extreme hunger, i dipped my bread right in the hot butter and took a bite. finally, i burned my tongue.

it still hurts, by the way, which is making me sad.

but what's really sad is that after spending all day in philly at an early childhood conference, this is still the most interesting and relevant thing i learned today.

hopefully tomorrow's post will be more informative- for everyone involved.
