Tip of the Right Index Finger Lamb Stew

[liveonearth]

As you may guess from teh title and the sloppyt typing, my pointer finger is heavily bandaged. I had leftover leg of lamb from the 4th of July and carved off the rest of the meat.

The location of your cut may have been the reason you nearly fainted. When I worked at the butcher shop, a coworker cut just the tip of her index finger off on a deli slicer.

Your choice of knife is probably the culprit. You should be using a broad-bladed knife to chop stuff. Do you have one? Lessons are free.

That's interesting that you think fingertip cuts could make us more faint. Hmmmm. Mentally filed.

I'm hard to teach when I comes to chopping. I have a good chef's knife but it stays in the drawer while I use the little crappy serrated ones. What I really need is lessons on sharpening my good knife---and the right kinds of stones to do that. Do you do lessons on knife sharpening and whetstones?

Wow, I've heard of people putting heart and soul into their culinary creations, but finger tips? Nice one. I've cut my fingers so many times while chopping food that I can't blame it on the knife, it's all me. Mostly me with a suitable amount of alcohol swilling around my tummy. Your neighbor Leslie has some power. Just look at how she runs that Barn. It'll be as good for you to leave her evil reign as it will be for me to leave the city. How much longer?
