today i learned that when the cheese grater is falling out of the cupboard, grabbing it in midair -- while a sign of stunning dexterity -- is one way to shred the shit out of your middle finger.
I was once teaching a cooking class at a fancy-schmancy school and was trying to grate cheese and talk at the same time. Not so good- I grated my hand and started bleeding everywhere. Yeah...kind of awkward, and painful.
I'll tell you what I tell my students- "never, ever try to catch kitchen knives or gadgets when they're falling because no one wants sad face".

I *thought* dinner tasted funny.
Ow. I'm sorry. Don't you hate it when dexterity actually hurts you?
This is really random, but you commented on my friend's blog, so I thought I would comment on your blog. People tend to like comments.

I admire anyone who grates cheese instead of buying it already grated at the store like I do.
