Prepare to be dazzled.
I cooked last night.
Spaghetti, with lots and lots of nice chopped onions and mushrooms.
Prepare to be grossed out.
I cut off the tippy-tip of my thumb.
I couldn't find it.
I continued to cook.
I did not tell the GM1 there was a extra bit of protein in his dinner.
Let the "eewwwwing" begin.

And I'm guessing you probably served red wine since the whole veggie thing was obviously a bust and red goes well with tomato sauce and meats. If it tastes like chicken though - does that make it another white meat?
So past the gross - how's the thumb? Did you get stitches or superglue or just a big thumb band-aid?
Posted by: Martha at January 26, 2005 11:24 AMMartha- The thumb is fine, if a bit diminished. It was just a big bandaid, jury-rigged kinda thing.
And we had a nice burgundy with dinner. No word on if it tastes like chicken, but the way I cook, it could have only been an improvement.
