Hmph... I'm so smart. Thought I could use a blunt knife to get the seed of an avocado out. You know, how those pro chefs do it... You slice the avocado in half, hit the pit with your knife, twist your knife to loosen the pit and walah.... you now have a pitless avocado. See here for pictures and more info.
But I was so stupid to use my blunt knife and so the knife slipped right off the pit, and landed onto my thumb. Cut up a clean deep cut in my skin I did. And I'm a sissy.. I'm such a sissy when it comes to blood and cuts. So what did I do? I screamed and put my finger under running water and closed my eyes. Hubby came out of the study room and saw my finger. Took a band-aid and just covered it up while I felt queasy and like I was about to pass out. The blood continued to soak the band aid and so hubby asked me to keep my hand above my head. That made me even more queasy that I thought I was going to black out.
That was last night. And this morning as I changed the band-aid I saw that the cut didn't really dry up as I thought it would. I wanted to put minyak gamat (my mom had supplied me with the miracle ointment before I left for the US) but hubby said not to infect it with it. Hmph.....
Ah well, the normal accidents of a lady in the kitchen isn't it? I can't tell you how many scars I have from the hot oils, tiny nicks and scratches from all the cooking and cleaning in the kitchen.
