First time to cook

So my favorite food here is cooked plantains. For those of you who do not know what those are, they look like giant bananas and taste similiar, but maybe a little sweeter. They cook them and eat them soft or they make them into chips (potato chip style). They are awesome. So the stove top here is gas, which i haven´t used a gas stove in 6 years or so. I forgot how quickly the stove top would heat up and i threw those plantains right on that super hot oil which of course splattered everywhere and about burned a hole through my wrist. I am thankful it wasn´t my eye b/c i am still bearing this cooking wound...it looks worse today than when i first burnt it two Saturdays ago! So, the Conexion team likes to laugh at me and tell everyone i don´t know how to cook. But NOW i do!
