On finding creative ways to injure oneself in the kitchen

[zhai]

1. Use an eight inch sushi knife to remove a quarter inch of apparently excess fingernail while chopping onions for an omelette.

2. Using same knife, pry a recalcitrant cube of frozen parrot food bean mix from a $1 ice cube tray that was overpriced. Apply sufficient leverage to snap said bean cube five feet in the air where it will ricochet off

"Stay tuned later this afternoon to see what I can manage with a crochet hook, a hazelnut latte, and 8 ounces of gruyere."

I dread to think. You have alerted ER, I trust?

We're all doomed!

Wow, you're just like MacGyver!

A sushi knife? For onions and parrot food? Oh, the travesty!

[brennye]

Well only the best for her birds, you know!

It's a sushi knife in style and approximate size, but in no way an actual respectably-forged knife intended for cutting sushi. I just like the heft and mobility of it as an all-purpose knife. Just to be clear. ;)

Oh, Erin! You're having a Monday today. I'd seriously think about not driving anywhere just in case.

I also decided that was wise. :) We did go out to run some errands, but jsridler drove. ;)

Also, your icon is hilarious. :)
