What a timely post as I was eating hot potato soup while reading the boards and had to stop and let it cool down.
I've got sleeves rolled up, sipping on a cool drink and waiting for my temp to go down so I can finish eating.
Sally's right - don't do it is the best approach. I only do it if I'm at home where I know I can move (or not move) at my own pace. LOL And, I've also been known to stick my head and hands in the freezer to cool off in a hurry - Shhh, don't tell hubby who'd complain about me wasting electricity.
