Yes the mandoline was rough. We teach our girls how to use knives too but for some reason Scarlette decided to try and use out mandoline slicer once night to cut up an apple and got her finger bad but never cried out or said anything. Savanna walks into the kitchen and sees Scarlette sitting on the floor with a paper towel soaked in blood and silently crying. She ran into our room and told us and we gave her first aid but she is scary when she is hurt. She keeps it to herself. Thankfully a cleaning and band-aid was all she needed that time. I also got rid of it but I actually need it for carrots and potatoes sometimes.

But I think I would have rather had a Hard Candy combust rather than my RBLs. Glad it came out for you!! My mom would have not been happy either. <br /><br />Boiling water on the tummy sounds brutal, like some kinda medieval torture. I did burn my tummy the night before I went into labor when I was cooking spaghetti. My belly stuck out so far it brushed everything. Including the hot pan I was browning meat in. <br /><br /> I hope you didn't scar or have any nerve damage. Baking can be a huge challenge for sure. But I love it. <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-19571738438000792602017-10-05T21:23:49.892-04:002017-10-05T21:23:49.892-04:00Yikes, nail polish spills suck.

I still have some dark blue out on our back deck from when I was giving myself a pedicure a few summers ago, couldn't sand it out all of the crevices. You'd think I'd stop perching those bottles so precariously since I have the major clumsy gene myself, yet I still haven't learned.<br /><br />I can be dangerous in the kitchen too, I once cut myself badly just opening a can, lol. Mandolin slicer, yee-ouch, sounds guillotine-esque.<br /><br />Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-7036831145905898982017-10-05T09:47:55.048-04:002017-10-05T09:47:55.048-04:00In the plus column, at least the nail polishtastro...In the plus column, at least the nail polishtastrophe occurred on somewhat easily cleaned tile (although I'm thinking the grout might have been a jerk for you.) I once knocked over an entire bottle of Hard Candy nail polish - frosted purple, I think it might have been called Trailer Trash - allllll over the basement carpet. I threw myself on it along with every cleaner we had in the house and somehow, it came off (probably because I moved with such swiftness in cleaning it up; really didn't want my mom to find that one!)<br /><br />Ah, but cooking - right there with you with the cooking calamities. And aside from hurting myself (I once dumped an entire pot of boiling water on my stomach; should have gone to the ER, but didn't because I'm an idiot) I have had more than a couple of baking-induced breakdowns. Why is baking so infuriating?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.com
