vinegar

My step-mom told me to put vinegar on my burn.  This is an old remedy for the sting.  I think the truth is that it stings so bad that nothing else annoys by comparison.  And I thought you were supposed to marinate meat BEFORE you cooked it, anyway.

Very funny and, alas, very true. Most home remedies I've tried for serious sunburn were worse than suffering with the burn itself, although some were just useless. I distinctly recall sitting in a bathtub of tea, which was supposed to relieve the sting but only resulted in my becoming pruny and smelling of Lipton.

The only meat I put vinegar on after cooking is barbecue. Fitting, no?
