Quiz Time!

I have a blister on my finger. It's not a burn blister, it's a friction blister. I don't think I've ever had that kind of blister on my finger before. It hurts, but I think I can redeem its existence with a game.

How did I get my blister?

WE HAVE A WINNER!
Congratulations, Sarah. I did, in fact get a blister on my finger from stirring beans. I was using a wooden spoon to make refried beans, which requires a lot of stirring and smushing of beans until they make a paste. When I was almost done, I looked down to discover that I had stirred a blister right into my poor finger!
Sarah, your prize will be an entire blog post dedicated to you. (Just as soon as I figure out which Sarah it is.)
