Maybe it can be "Crox for the Kitchen"?Family Nutritionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895139842355255623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-82267410801136224762008-03-17T03:19:00.000+01:002008-03-17T03:19:00.000+01:00This is pretty obvious - but use the right knife f...This is pretty obvious - but use the right knife for the job. I got lazy one time and instead of switching from my chef's knife (it's a small chef's knife, but still...) to a paring knife when I wanted to cut something in my hand rather than on the board, I tried to do it with the chef's knife. Not a good idea!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-54034460001951206072008-03-14T22:55:00.000+01:002008-03-14T22:55:00.000+01:00Lydia, you would certainly be the expert in knife ...<B>Lydia</B>, you would certainly be the expert in knife safety since you teach cooking classes to people of all ages! <BR/><BR/><B>Pragyan</B>, yes, we sure learn these things over the years from sheer experience.

After several thousand dollars of surgery to sew each one back together, the tendons still did not heal, and she had to have the surgery again. I haven't heard how the second surgery went. Without those tendons, your foot droops and you cannot walk properly.Family Nutritionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895139842355255623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-48623874204436364132008-03-13T02:23:00.000+01:002008-03-13T02:23:00.000+01:00Thanks, Nupur!

It's also important to teach kids good knife habits, because how they handle a dull plastic knife will be a dangerous way to handle a real, sharp knife. Great post.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.com
