For ten years I used the same big kitchen knife.
Hello, there:
Over the years it has regrettably gotten duller and duller.
This Christmas we got a shiny new knife:
See: a shiny, new knife.
Sheesh, this post is starting to look a little Fatal Attractionish.
Anyway...
Billy's response was "this isn't going to turn out well" and "maybe we should just keep that put up."
For the longest time I resisted the urge to get it out.
But it was so shiny.
I was powerless to resist it's siren song!
Perhaps I should have resisted longer.
Because...
I've had it open for two weeks and these are the results.
Not one...
Not two...
but
THREE big ole cuts.
Sigh...It's a really sharp knife.
And I see it as an opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons or something like that.
Where is the lemonade?
Why, the band-aids of course.
They have cupcakes on them.
And now I get to wear them.
If you live in North Alabama or you're driving through you should go to Sam, Frank, and Moore in Decatur.
They have these things:
and they have these things:
So china, gifts, home accessories
and
awesome cupcake band aids.
After you visit Sam, Frank, and Moore you should go get lunch at Currys.
Because it's super good.
And you should probably get the strawberry pretzel salad because its delicious.
But you probably shouldn't get an extra piece because you'll just end up eating it on the way home.
At least that's what happened to me.
Okay, I'm done lecturing.
Unfortunately, my band aids aren't.
They mockingly stare at me and accuse me of clumsiness.
Maybe, they are just happy to be getting worn.
And if you are going to get compared to something...
I say lemonade isn't a bad thing.

HA! I noticed one of your band-aids yesterday at lunch and meant to comment on it. Totally cute.
ReplyDelete"They", meaning someone official, say that you can cut yourself much more easily with a dull knife than a sharp one, I suppose because you kind of mis-use them to get them to cut. But the very day I sharpened our test kitchen knives my boss cut herself and needed stitches and another girl cut herself, so I am not convinced that "they" know what they are talking about! Maybe you need the Wms-Sonoma knife techniques class!
I too, have experienced some bad knife cuts in the kitchen. One so deep it required stitches! Ouch. I sympathize. Perhaps I can blame my cooking skills (of lack of) on the trauma of the wound from the kitchen knife ten years ago. I know your kids love the band aids.
ReplyDeleteI've cut myself between my toes with a table knife (we call them butter knives or spreading knives).

I've heard the same thing Kristi but it just can't be true! I would love to take that Williams Sonoma class!
ReplyDeleteActually it is somewhat true that a dull knife will cause you to apply more pressure and lead to accidents caused by bad form. A clean cut heals much faster like a scalpel.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's good then. I'm happy to say I've since learned to be a lot more careful with the knife in question!
