My candy thermometer

Awhile ago I was going to make, making yogurt "my new thing" as it turned out I only made it once and, it was not very good,but anyways I bought a candy thermometer so, I could test the milk and what not. This is just one of those story to laugh at myself about so get ready.~I was at SuperStore in the bake ware department carefully looking at all the candy thermometers.There was eight or more to choose from, right away I went for the old school style (not the digital) I liked the brushed metal As I was standing in the store admiring its slickness a thought came to me "why is there a clip on this? What lame-O would wear this nerdy thermometer in there pocket? Maybe a scientist with his pocket protector and pens in lab coat...... Geek" I still thought this was the most sheek so bought it. I came home put away my groceries and started with the yogurt. I took a nice heavy cream and poured it in to my pot on the stove. I unwrapped my new shiny stylish candy thermometer and held it in the pot,without even noticing I slid the hook over the side of the pot.WOW!!!!! That's what that was for. End of Story
