Cuts Like a Knife...the Sequel

It's been over a year since the last time I cut my thumb with a chef's knife, but it happened again this morning as I diced a little filling for my omelette.

This one was a bit more serious a gash...so reluctantly I went to the ER to have it checked out. No stitches required, but they glued it closed and wrapped it up...as you can see at right.

So, I get to wear this bad boy for two days and then turn to regular bandaids (I hope).

One good thing about having extremely sharp knives -- it didn't hurt when it happened. It does now though...but it's nothing a couple bottles of local wine can't cure.

Be careful out there folks.

Yep, Sounds like a good excuse to drink more wine.

Ouch! That's why I avoid chopping in the morning, or at least until the coffee kicks in.

Lenn, you oughta my advice, which I follow assiduously: DON'T GO NEAR THE KITCHEN.

Unless it's to retrieve wine from the fridge...

Dear Lenn,

As stated before...maybe you should be using my knives. As Charlie would say- "they are as dull as my mind"- except for the one you gave me :) hope it's better soon- we have alot of celebrating ahead.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. It feels a little better today (well enough that I'm in the office).

Hopefully it will heal up quickly...I don't want to have to drink through all my wine reserves to "kill the pain"
