So toxicfur picked u[ ths cool slicing widget at the kitchem sot toy store the other day. it's adjustiable, kimda like a jointer, but with just a stationary blade. the two halves of the flat bit cam be adjusted relative to each other do change the thickness of the slices of radish or carrot or zucchini or whatever. It has a name starting with M i think but I wanna say trebuchet and that's completely worng.

Tonight i was making slad. I ad scraped a carrot and was feeting ti to the slicer. The slicer has a nother piece with a handle on it that is molded in such a way that it can't get into the bladem and has some plasting fingers on it that help hold the food you're slicing. But i wanted to slice the carrot endwise, so that the little coin-like slices would be easier to eat.

Long story short, which is to say even a little longer, mu index finger got into the mechanism. Jst after toxicfur saw how i was using the tool, and sid somethong to the effect of "use the handle or you'll slice your finger off."

"Like that?" says I? and then i went to the bathroom to deel with all the blood. it's damn hardto get a bandaid open one-hsnded whlle trying ot to bleed ona ything.

Got the bleeding stoped, ate dinner left handed. sat down to surf teh intarwebses while toxicfur's working on a cake (so i have the bestest partner or what?). Dog comes over with his bone du jour, for his favorite pastti,e (well, indoor pasttime). The one where i hold one end of the bone and he chews onthe other. i was trying to figure out how to hold it securely (man does he torque that thng) with 3 fingers plus thumb, and how to keep the index finger out of the way.

"snoof snoff? i can likz teh finger? smells ummy!"

Er, no.

Lst time i did this i found a better way to do the bandage so i could type .

and now i jave ngelfood cake batter on the other infr rx findhrt. i gove up.
