Once I tried to slice an onion on a mandoline and ended up staining our kitchen with droplets we were still finding when we sold that house years later. (Fortunately the buyer’s inspector didn’t make any comment, though there were all kinds of other ridiculous “findings.”)
I really should probably have gone to the hospital, but instead I took a handful of paper towels and one of my then-girlfriend’s hair ties to secure them to my finger long enough to go to the grocery store (the only nearby 24 hour store) to try to find gauze.
The next morning, when I got to work, my officemate asked if I had stuck a strawberry on my finger. Are you sure you’re not underestimating my ability to prepare food?
I cook, and honestly I could probably manage pasta salad, but … Almost nothing novel I try to make turns out well.
