As this gal has suffered a bit of a casualty.  While making my honey garlic slow cooker chicken last night, this gal got the bright idea to add onions to the recipe at last minute.  Well, I grabbed the onion and my new Global veggie knife which looks like a cleaver of sorts – see

and while chopping away while using my newly learned knife skills, I forgot one of the most important commandments – ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOUR THUMB IS.  See, while I was steading the onion, the thumb just got in the way and *swoosh*

Damn that knife was sharp!!!  Needless to say it was a pretty deep cut, no stitches needed but who knew that a gal’s thumb plays a major role in most things.  So now my typing is more of a hunt and peck of sorts, the texting – yeah, so not happening and the cut is pretty gross.  I’m just thankful that my thumb is still attached.  I was highly thankful that I kept a package of bandaids in the kitchen and applied the Girl Scout First Aid skills. 

That onion didn’t fare so well – it never did make it into the recipe…
