Merriam Webster's word was lame. So you wanna know what the word of the day is?
Scorch. As in, to burn a surface of, so as to change its color and texture.
Wanna know what my example sentence is?
I scorched my chin on the baking sheet as I bent down to peer at my just-out-of-the-oven cookies.
Had to use a cold water bottle from the fridge to cool it down.
You wanna know a synonym? Burnt. As in, the way I'm going to feel tomorrow after all these first birthday party festivities are over.
That is all. I must now return to my war zone kitchen. Maybe try and clean up the powdered sugar that somehow found it's way all over my laptop...




Good luck on the party! Can't wait to read all about it.

I hope your example sentence for scorch was just for illustrative purposes and you didn't actually burn yourself. If you did, I hope you've got a good aloe plant nearby.
Enjoy the festivities.
