ooohhh owie owie owie..just blow on it, ow! bad idea..what are you thinking Neshanne blowing on a cut...okay run it under cold water.. oooh that stings, Jake could you please get me a bandaid.
This is a typical scenario in my house when it comes to me and knifes in the kitchen. I seem to almost always without fail cut my self, sometimes its a nick, no biggy or like tonight a deep cut.
I CURSE you 60 minutes! (pumping my first in the air) if it wasn't for your damn dramatic music at climatic times in the program I wouldn't have glanced at the t.v while sliceing through the kaiser roll and the meaty part of my thumb at the same time. I guess thats what I get for watching t.v while trying to cook.
You know whats worse about cuts on your hands, you know the minute you start doing the dishes or take a shower its going to sting! Oh well it didn't stop me from enjoying our yummy and very filling vegetarian sloppy joes, which are packed with lots of protein and some added heat with jalapenos.
By the way I love making sloppy joes because it means we will have leftovers for lunch the next day. Can't wait!
