The "milk is starting to boil"...

I love the comparison! Starting to boil means you can actually stir it down for a little while--Then no matter how vigoursly you stir it turns into a full boil and Bo amount of stirring keeps it down--it has reached a full boil and whatever it touches is scalded! What a great visual...
