I'm trying not to scratch it, Orlando!
Brown rice, sweet potatoes, broiled chicken breast, and vodka sauce. Oh, it just wouldn't be Sunday if I wasn't in the kitchen, preparing a week's worth of bodybuilding meals.
Of course, it was 100 degrees in D.C. on Sunday, and my kitchen had become an inferno even before I turned on the broiler. So there I am, running around the kitchen, chopping onions, stirring the marinara, boiling the rice, marinating the chicken, wearing nothing but my underwear, and sweating into practically everything - when I accidentally expose my right forearm to the surface of the screamingly hot broiler door.
Hmm, well, that was painful. I put ice on it and figured it'd be fine. Fast-forward four days and it sort of resembles a third-degree burn. Imagine that! I'm publicly attributing my disfigurement to a curling iron snafu, but if you can conjure up a sexier lie, please let me know.

My dear Toby, I know that you're not originally from the South... but boy, you need some cast iron skillets.
I do like the red chile pot holder, though. Very cute.
TOBY SAYS: Um, that's a cast iron skillet right there. With the chili pot holder.

Oh man, who doesn't have the pot handle cover/cock warmer stolen from Chili's. I keep my bowl and a lighter in mine.

...and it wouldn't be cooking if there wasn't alcohol involved... perhaps the vodka sauce attributed to the burn? :-P

Dude,
Body dysmorphia in private is one thing, lived out and deconstructed in public it's another -- narcissism.
Move on here man. Work the other shit out in yer own head.

My compliments on the CLEAN stove. Now that the politicians can't hire illegals as domestic help, Ramona must really work cheap.
