Number One:
You do not remove a tangle of fresh Basil, (or any other blockage), from an electric hand held wand blender by using your finger whilst the wand is still plugged in, and your hand is still on the controls.
That is the end of the lesson.

I believe it has left a number. I will get the Hatch to check it when I collect her from school today. She has her Scout first-ad badge, which is bound to be better than the treatment I got from the Gob last night.
Bah!

Mmmm, an extra taste treat in the pesto

Shhh. He didn't consider that when he ate dinner last night. He has the left overs for his dinner at work tonight.
Me? I am having something entirely different. I couldn't even wash the damn wand last night. I was still too embarrassed by my stupidity. I am picking my way through the keys with only using two on my left hand.

Are you sure you didn't cut deeply enough to sever anything major, like a tendon or a nerve?

Re: Kitchen 'Do Not's': 101
I'm fairly certain.
I am not too sure on the continued future of my finger nail. But the Hatch can check that out after dinner.

Ow. OK.
I have split the nail from the base up and taken skin and a thin layer of flesh from my knuckle.
I think I will need anti-biotics judging from the level of nail trauma.
Oh well. That'll learn me.

OK, back to hand mixing for you! No more power-operated kitchen stuff!
Re: Kitchen 'Do Not's': 101
Ha-ha! ...no, I shouldn't laff, but this reminds me of what the ex did, many moons ago.
He was hand-slicing some onions, if I recall, for our Sunday brunch omelets. Rather enthusiastically too, because he had just discovered 'caffeine pills' for long drives and was testing one out that morning. He said he felt great and energetic and grabbed our hand food slicer;
...and went to town on those onions!
Well, caffeine and caution don't often happen at the same time, and you guessed it- he sliced the tip of his finger clean off! I mean a huge bite as big as a dime! Argh! With all the mayhem and panic that followed- what with the injury and getting onion juice in it ...we never did find the tip. Hmmm...

Re: Kitchen 'Do Not's': 101
I never found teh half a fingernail either.
I am sure it didn't end up in the pesto.
My finger looks foul. I am starting to regrow the nail and it looks like I have developed a claw in the middle of it, a baby chook foot if you will.
