Cooking Disasters

Yeah normally if he offers, I say "I've got it", but I had a sinus headache from pollen allergies and I said "yeah" when he offered. I could tell he didn't expect that and likely wished he hadn't offered!

I recall an oops that wasn't in a kitchen... Installing network cabling in a business and in the server room we had a bundle of 54 category 5 ten base T cables: like this but no connectors yet

Coming out of the gutter box all neatly labeled. They were all too long, like they're supposed to be on the initial install, so I cut them to length... All the labeled end on the floor in a pile...

Took several hours to sort. 🤫
 
So this isn't a cooking disaster, but it's a kitchen disaster.

Last night I apparently was snoring because of my sinuses, which isn't like me at all. But my husband couldn't get me to wake up because I took some diphenhydramine which knocked me out. He got frustrated and got up and drank the red wine that was on the counter (there was just enough for 1 glass) and decided it tasted pretty good, so he tried to open another bottle, and apparently the top of the wine bottle broke off and he gashed open his thumb and bled all over the kitchen. He was telling me about it this morning and said it took him about an hour to get the bleeding to stop. I was wondering this morning what happened to the wine (I was going to use it for my braised lamb shanks) and I also wondered how I got strawberry juice in the tile grout over by the table (I had a waffle and strawberries before I had gone to bed) and also on the table top, because I hadn't been anywhere near there and I hadn't splashed or spilled anything. So wow.

And I want to take him to go get stitches or get it looked at, but he has refused to do that, so...

Wow....
Silly thing maybe, coming from fishing for fish that bite and "transfer" a anti-coagulant (so blood doesn't set)
Tooth paste helps!
It really does.
I got a tube of tooth paste in my tackle box :)

Doesn't it sting? I am sure it's a bit of a deep cut. He hasn't taken the bandage off to look at it yet, but I know he is soooo stubborn that he will not go to the doctor to get stitches and I am sure he should get it checked out, but I know he won't unless it gets infected.

I don't' know how to breach the toothpaste subject without telling him I posted here about it, LOL. He wouldn't like that. I guess I can say I saw it on the internet somewhere...

I keep a small bottle of meat tenderizer in my first aid kit. 😱

It speeds breaking down the toxins in bug bites. Most bug bite meds are diphenhydramine and that just masks the symptoms. It doesn't do a thing to affect healing.
 
Personally, with cuts like that, I bandage them until they stop bleeding, and then remove the bandage to let the air work its miracles.
With cooking disasters, it's either cuts of burns. I was in a restaurant last year and one of the girls got burned all over her forearm with boiling stock.
Chef wrapped it in plastic wrap. (must be a reason behind that somewhere).
