A little FYI for you…
by Rosemary ~ April 30th, 2008When slightly warming a lemon in the microwave so that it gives off more juice, the operative word is slightly. I turned to do something else and left it in for about 30 seconds. Big mistake. When I reached for the lemon, it exploded and shot juice onto my hand and arm, leaving a bleeding burn. Ouch.
Once burned, lesson learned!

Ouch!!

I bet that hurt! I usually just roll the lemon on the counter for a few seconds, and that works like a charm.

Okay, first ouch! And second, I didn’t know that warming a lemon caused it to have more juice. Thanks for the tip, and praying you get better soon.

Yikes! thanks for the warning. Hope your hand is feeling a lot better by now…

Oh Rosemary, that must have really hurt! Thanks for the warning…and the tip. Like Elle, I didn’t know that warming a lemon caused it to have more juice.

Oh, Rosemary!
That sounds dreadful! There is nothing more painful than a burn!
I am so sorry. Thanks for warning us–I do warm mine in the microwave (about 10 seconds) but I know how easy it is to get distracted.
Hope you are able to get some relief from the pain.

Bless your heart! Glad to hear in your other post that you are recovering–burns hurt bad!
