kitchen disaster

i had a kitchen accident last night. i was making Giada's tomato sauce, meatballs and pasta. so i follow all the steps to the sauce. it had simmered for an hour, and next i needed to put half in the food processor to chop the veggies up that were in there. so i put half in the food processor. i never read the directions, i was having trouble locking it in place and having the blade stay put, finally after a little leaking all over i got it ready and turned it on to chop. why are there little holes on the top? no idea, so i was like this isn't working. so then i took the other half of the sauce still in the pan in into the blender and press mix. bad idea. i must have overfilled it. scalding hot tomato sauce went all over the place, all over my face, my clothing, the floor, the walls, into the bathroom somehow, counter, in my hello kitty blender: disaster. that sauce was really hot. abe came into the kitchen and he laughed, but to me it wasn't funny. wasn't funny at all. not only did i almost burn my face off, but i wasn't able to finish the tomato sauce the way it was suppose to finish....ugh.
