The Thumbless Wonder

[Professor S]

Well, I cut the tip of my thumb off at work this weekend. I was chopping cabbage for coleslaw and slipped. One of the hazards of being a chef I guess.

So I'm stuck here at home with a soft cast on my thumb until wednesday when I have to air it out and check to see what the real damage is. It didn't look all that bad as I only lost about a 1/4 centimeter or so. Bled like crazy.

Doesn't hurt much, but losing the use of a thumb sucks. Its an effort just to take a piss.

Are you on workers comp?

Which thumb?

If that happened to my left thumb it wouldn't matter much, because I always play games on the joint instead of the pad. Always been that way.

What?! I thought you were a bouncer and aspiring teacher?

When did 'chef' pop into the list of occupations?

[Professor S]

I am still a student (who is getting continually screwed in terms of requirements) but I was moved from bouncer to cook a while back (I had experience cooking before) and I'm currently a chef and caterer for my employer. I will be bouncing on St. Patties as they need as many experienced bouncers as they can get and I'm the only one they trust with the door money.

I chopped my left thumb. You would think it wouldn't be that much of a bother, but it is. I had no odea how much I used my left thumb. For example, try typing without your left thumb... you'll have to change everything.

[GameMaster]

Does this mean that thumb will be out of service forever?

Dear Phil;

The following encloses proof I was not confused, or insane.

Love, Sean.



PS. Strangler, how will you tell people if they did a good job from a far distance?

His right hand I assume

[Happydude]

ouch.

my mom actually was working at a deli store a while back and sliced off a part of her thumb as well on one of those slicer machines. and yes the cast is quite amusing to give thumbs up with






p.s. the v-day meal turned out great, i added a bit of chilli and less capers and it tasted really really good...the first time i tried it out 100% to recipe but i didn't like it as much.

Thanks a lot

Hey, everything is to taste, thats why I'm always pretty vague when it comes to recipes. Hell, my coleslaw recipe calls for a handfull of sugar, a chef spoon of mayo, a squeeze of dijon, a few pinches of salt and pepper and a few splashes of vinegar.

BTW, the chili idea intrigues me. Did you use fresh chilis or powder?

[Happydude]

i used the dried chilli seeds or whatever they're called, the ones you sprinkle on top of whatever you eat. i didn't have fresh chillis to use.
