For all those that don't know, I was talking to HCT on the phone the other day while I was preparing dinner. My wife loves potatoes, so I was making a potato cake. You simply slice some potatoes about 1/4 inch thin and place them in a frying pan in layers. Between each layer, I drizzle some olive oil and then sprinkle fresh grated parmesan, sea salt and pepper and just keep building layers that way. Fry it up about 15 minutes so it's browned on the bottom and then place in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Take them out, dump out any oil and then using a lid, flip the potato cake so that the bottom is now the top. Put it back in the oven for about 15 minutes and you have a delicious potatoe cake that you can slice up like a cake or pie.

Anyways, as I was cutting the potatoes with a mandolin slicer and talking to HCT at the same time, I somehow, sliced the tip of my finger off. I tried to get it to stop bleeding the rest of the night but was unsuccessful and finally broke down and had to go to the doctor's office. The way it was cut, I couldn't get stitches, so the coctor had to cauterize it (man, I hate the smell of burning flesh) and now I have this gaping type of hole in my finger. Fortunately, I was able to separate the finger from potatoes and I saved the dish. ;D

At least you have something to be thankful for.

After explaining Daylight Savings Time to a Native Indian Chief, he responded by saying "Only a white man can cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it on the bottom of a blanket and say its now a better blanket." ;D :D Gotta agree...

Well; at least you were able to keep the dish meatless. :-\

You have convinced me to purchase a metal mesh glove.
