Never Again
I've been cooking for a long time. Playing with sharp knives in my kitchen for a long time. I've been doing it all without incident or accident. Until today. Today I cut myself damned good. Two fingers, one deep the other no so deep. I've been bleeding off and on all day, and the advice of a doctor was, "Yeah. Most finger lacerations can be fixed with a band-aid, you'll probably want to change it tonight." .. ... ... yup. That's some good advice. Except I had to keep cooking. And so I kept bleeding. Three band-aids later, and one very well used latex glove, I'm not sure it's stopped bleeding yet. But, whatever. I made some kickass mac'n'cheese and I made one hell of a eggplant parmesan. Because I can cook through pain. I am a real man.
