Please heal soon!

Weasel Health Bulletin: Her Stoatliness is still playing computer games furiously. Dodgy digit notwithstanding.

SWeasel is playing hookie!

Dunno about ‘hookie’. She’s playing computer games like the universe depends on it or something.

Oh…

Oi! The universe *does* depend on it!

Well then….be certain to triumph…

The lives of the rest of us depend upon it!

Hope it heals so fast you don’t even notice it! 🙂

It’s downright painful to read this post. I can relate. Hope your mouse finger recovers from its culinary trauma quickly, and thanks for the reminder that soup season has started!

Badger House needs to be renamed cannibal house, I guess. 🙂

Hi! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new apple
iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog
and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the outstanding work!

Oh noes! Even though I mostly enjoy it, cookin’s *dangerous* – at least when I do it. Always burning or slicing myself. Feel better, dear – the intertubes and your fans need you!

P.S. Your soups sound delish.

😮 and Awwww…also, ouchies!

Been there, dunn’at*, and gots the marks to prove it…

Always remember: Too much finger, spoils the soup – or at least, makes it hard on the digestion.

Best wishes for speedy mouse-finger recovery and rehab, and keep ’em flyin’.

(* Not a stick mixer, but a table saw – many, many moons ago, and full function well-restored long ago as well)

(By the bye – you do have some of the most pleasant and altogether “civilized” comment-trolls in the Blogosphere…)

Horrors. I hate kitchen cuts.
Your soup base sounds amazing.

Yeah, I can just imagine your first reaction to the Zzzz on your finger was total surprise, before a lightning switch to an unprintable exclamation.

I did similar with an deceptively unassuming mandolin. Nicked the tip of my finger. Not off completely, kind of a flip-top. I washed it, bandaged it, tried to keep it elevated and fought off the queasies. And, Lo! Flip survived and we’ve decided to stick together from now on. Scout’s honor, I now always use the pusher thingy without fail.

Stick mixer is awesome, and a hell of a lot easier clean-up than the food processor. Fave soup to make is Spit Pea. Make it every time we cook a ham. Along with some fresh crusty bread and a nice red wine… oh yeah… that’s some good eats.

Back when I worked as a chef, I shaved off the pads of my fingertips with a Hobart rotary slicer.
We had a blind assistant who was just bringing in the clean towels. I accidentally tackled him trying to get one.
Your soup does sound yummy. Good for you!

I like that my KitchenAid has a rotary end that pops off the motor.

So you can clean it without it having any chance of Going Off.

Don’t think of it as an “oopsie”; think of it as adding an exotic spice.

And I’ve been there, done that. Only that involved a hatchet and the pad of my left index finger, just through the top of the fingernail, barely missing the bone. One stitch and a careful application of surgical glue later, I’m more embarrassed than in pain.

But I did burn that wood, so I made a sacrifice. Sort of.

High tea and finger foods?

Your post makes me realize my blender is 24 years old.
The plug end has a copper leaking green to it. But not red.
It has however bit off plenty a chuck of wooden spoons.
I suspect it’s dying breath will not be after a taste of my flesh, but after its first attempt to electrocute me.

Worst of all it was your middle finger?
That’s the most useful one.
