Don't lick hot things.
Last night, I made Thai spring rolls for the first time. I stir-fried some veggie lemon chicken (it was wonderful, I'm planning a post just about that) with Bragg's and some mushrooms. In a fit of pure genius, I licked the metal spoon I'd been stirring with. That was yesterday; my tongue is still swollen.
Today, I woke up with my tongue glued to the roof of my mouth in a huge amount of pain. So, I skipped my creative writing class's office hours, went to my second class, and ate cold foods today. Sandwiches, potato salad, and ice cream. My tongue feels a lot better now.
So, don't lick hot things. Last night was grumpy; there was lots of foot stomping.

Hope you feel better.You could always stir with a wooden spoon or even a plastic one.They don't conduct heat like metal and you can taste test.This coming from someone who has also burnt his tongue on hot silverware.
Bah. You hippies and your new-fangled devices.
