Foiled again

Cut myself with the aluminum seal on a new can of coffee. I never have any cool kitchen injuries.

When no one’s looking, I cut myself

While making lunch, I handled kitchen shears, a 10-inch serrated knife, a 7-inch chef’s knife and a serrated steak knife. That’s a lot of razor-sharp stainless steel to deal with. Plenty of opportunities to cut myself and draw blood. And I did.

So who was the culprit?

None of the above. I cut my hand with my goddamn fingernail while washing the cutting board. Thanks, I’ll take the award for Lamest Kitchen Injury now.

Extra burnin olive oil

Apparently, even though 200 degrees is a much lower temperature than most people set their ovens, it still has the ability to heat metal. While roasting prime rib, I burned my hand on the meat thermometer. And I still have a scar from hot oil hitting my wrist while sautéing potatoes for the side dish. Luckily, I didn’t make any dessert. I probably would’ve killed myself somehow.

And five minutes ago, I gave myself a “paper cut” with aluminum foil, which just might be the lamest cooking injury you can possibly get.

All within the past week. Perhaps I should eat out more. For my own safety.
