Anyone that has spoken to me recently knows that I have gotten hooked on the food network. This began when Noah was first born, and I spent most of my day nursing...and not able to maneuver to actually read while doing it (yes I tried - not worth the trouble). So I settled on the Food Network. There is a huge variety of shows and personalities to choose from, and there are so many things to learn. Since I've taken up this Food Network habit I have started pretending to be a gourmet chef (meaning I bought some Kosher salt to cook with (which does make a HUGE difference by the way - I no idea), and I've been using the big scary chef's knife for every day purposes). One day while watching Good Eats with Alton Brown I learned the proper way to pit an avocado. While I have used this method several times without incident, this past Sunday I had a little accident. The knife (not the huge chef knife - praise the Lord!) slipped and I cut my ring finger. Not too bad...but bad enough that I couldn't get my wedding band off...so I ended up having to get my ring cut off and 2 stitches to top it off. At least I know a good jeweler that can fix my ring. I must say that I was annoyed that I had to leave during some of my precious Noah time to go to the hospital for such a dumb accident. On the way I was really frustrated...then I realized how incredibly grateful I was that I was the one going to the hospital and not Noah. God is good!
Moral of the story: accidents can always happen no matter how much Food Network you watch.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD AND GRAMMIE!
Geez, stitches? Bummer... How did you get to the ER with Noah!? That stinks- sorry.
ReplyDeleteActually it was on Sunday after church, so Matt stayed home with Noah. Could have been much worse...
