Dumb injuries, part infinity

Jun 04, 2007 21:13

Worse than injuring a foot (it still ain't right) while pretending to be a teenage boy is injuring yourself while engaged in the non-contact sport of...cooking.

Baking, even. If grilling is the rugby of cooking, baking is the rhythmic gymnastics.

I made a Key Lime pie yesterday. Organic crust, organic and cruelty-free condensed milk, and I juiced all of those tiny fuckers by hand. It is delicious. However, thanks to the magic of repetitive stress, I now have a very strained wrist. Which I have to suffer in silence, lest someone ask, "how'd you hurt your wrist?"

"Pie," is not an acceptable response.
