Blogger meetup or why you shouldn’t drink and use sharp knives
I had a lovely, if slightly tipsy afternoon today, hanging out with the crew of Philly bloggers. I left a little earlier than most, after a raucous two and a half hours and two and a half beers, because I’m attending a party tonight to which I have been asked to bring a salad and I needed to go and make said salad. Well, just now, while trying to julienne basil, I did an excellent job of mincing my finger instead. Thankfully, I had already washed the lemon juice off my hands.
Lesson learned: don’t drink and slice.

Oh, no! I hope it was a little cut (not the type I tend to do on my own poor fingers) Hope you had fun at the party!

I’m so sorry about your fingers — perhaps this was a sign that you should’ve stayed? I hope (as a veteran of many clumsy injuries) that it heals alright.

i’ve sliced my finger a few times, but never semi drunkenly. i don’t think i’d handle my knives after a few. i see it’s not too bad to interfere with your blogging!

i’ve sliced my fingers a few times, never drunkenly though. i don’t know if i’d trust myself to handle my knives semi-drunkenly.

Howard, excellent interpretation! I should have stayed, instead of putting a digit at risk.
Thankfully, I’m healing well, and the injury has not kept me from my blogging.
