Six Stitches in My Thumb and a Show on Thursday

[DebbieJ]

I was being really, really dumb this morning and ended up putting a knife in my thumb. Yes, the pampered chef of the house was exercising bad knife skills.

I know have six stitches and it hurts like h*ll. I have a show on Thursday, my last of the month. This should be fun....

I already know I'll have the guests do it all. I've done this recipe before that way and it worked out great. It's also a great crowd so I'm sure they'll understand.

Now off to go take some Tylenol with Codeine.

Actually, that's a great way to get the tools into their hands. And we all know that once they use them, they'll want them.

Maybe you should wear fake stitches at all your shows...

My husband keeps telling me PC is going to cut a finger off if I do not get use to using our new knives!

Ouch!! That's too bad, Deb. Did you know right away you had to go to the ER? I hope your show goes well. Try to put as positive spin on it as you can. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

My only two accidents have been with knives. The utility knife from each line.

Good luck at your party Deb...my director warned me about our forged cutlery!!My only accident was last year when I was shooting my boyfriend's rifle and it kicked a little more than I thought it would...and I guess I didnt have a great grip on it...well needless to say it kicked back and the scope hit my forehead and I have 6 internal stiches and 8 external stiches in a vertical line between my eyes for Halloween!! Be happy that it isn't in as noticeable of a spot!

That's a great idea! I mean about the getting tools in their hands, not faking stitches...

well, they should believe you when you talk about how wonderfully sharp our knives are!!!

It actually wasn't with one of the PC knives--it was a Wusthof 9" slicer.

Yes, I knew right away I would have to go. It was too deep. Yuck. DH works from home but was still asleep, so I woke him up to watch ds and off I went.

If I talk about it at all at my show, it will be to educate them on knife safety! I was cutting towards me--a BIG BIG BIG no no. Lesson learned.
