Wounded Chef

Well, my fingers are no longer un-damaged in the kitchens. Due to a slip across an onion, I managed to put the blade of my freshly sharpened knife into my middle finger. 
Not good. Up until that point I was the only one of us who hadn’t cut themselves. It was all a matter of time I guess, either that or a conspiracy. 
I blame the sixteen year old’s though, if they weren’t in I wouldn’t have been assisting them prep vegetables; thus preventing my humongous death defying injury. Because like, I sooo could have died and everything. 
The cut itself isn’t all that deep, or not deep enough to cause damage or issues.
I have managed to cut into my nail though, which is funny. 
It will heal up by the weekend. I’ll be like new by Monday.

Whenever I’m cooking, visions dance in my head of the knife slipping and accidentally severing a finger. I see these flashes of panic, where I call out to my dad to dump ice cubes in a bowl and call 911….
I’ve managed to avoid cutting myself, or any other major mishaps, so far. I burned my finger once on a pot, but it was minor. I’m too cautious.

Being too cautious could be your downfall.
I’m normally careful with my knives, I just had it pointed in over, and cutting a curved part of onion.
I don’t think I can go two weeks without touching a hot pan, or scalding myself though.
At least my injury wasn’t the worst. People have lost parts of nails; or cut quite deep.
