Had quite a few of those.

You gotta watch out for those that are cured on the outside but wet on the inside. Everything escalates from there when one accuses another for intentionally tossing one like that.

I'll never forgive one of my teenage cousins who asked me at age six if I could swim. Inoncently, I answered, "no." Big mistake. He threw me out of the boat into a swift river with no life preserver. I don't think in those days there was such a thing as a life preserver.

I struggled to stay afloat in the torrent. It was hopeless. While underwater I bumpted into a tree. I grabbed it with all my might. Still underwater, I began climbing it. It was a "thorn tree" with large thorns on the trunk. I climbed up the tree and held on for dear life while the sounds of laughter from my cousins filled my ears.

Coughing up water, gagging, and with broken thorns in my skin, my cousins graciously floated down in the boat and rescued me, calling me a cry baby. At a young age of six or seven, I made up my mind not to be a cry baby, complainer or dodge their best shot. I've also taught my four boys the same.

Now, how can you tell if the patty is fully cured. Simple. The one that is fully cured is lighter. If there is any doubt, a sharp jab into the top of it with a stiff finger will instantly tell you.
