I'm still here, but boy did I have a scare the other night.

By the way, I'm working on the 2009 version of Not For Burgers, but it may be Friday before I post it.

Monday night, I was trying to make potato soup. Was more like mashed potatoes, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately, I didn't account for the saltiness of the bacon fat and oversalted the pot. Blech.

In the process of cleaning up, however, I accidentally blended the tip of my left index finger. To borrow one of my dad's aphorisms, I tore it up real good. No stitches, because there was nothing to stitch back together. It may be May before the bandage is off to stay. And then would probably be physical therapy.

Lesson: if the box says Dishwasher Safe, there is no reason to clean it ANY OTHER WAY.
