"Hey! We did the best we could!"

NEW YORK, July 1 (UPI) -- Kyra Sedgwick's husband Kevin Bacon announced via WhoSay the U.S. actress sliced off the top of one of her fingers while chopping kale in the kitchen.
Bacon posted photos of the 47-year-old former "Closer" star with bloody gauze on her hand before she saw a doctor, then a giant bandage on her finger after she was treated for the injury, People.com reported.
"Kale isn't always healthy ... if you chop the end of your finger off," Bacon wrote in his online message during the weekend. "My baby is fine. All good. Still can't find the tip of that finger."
Gotta keep those finger tips curled under when using that chiffonade.
"Hey! We did the best we could!"
Kyra may be a follower, Kevin. This may just have been to get you off your guard. Be careful if she starts reciting Edgar Allen Poe.
The lead in the pipe dope helped to make a good seal.
...or Lady Macbeth.
(sigh)....too much like my thrice-weekly arguments with my wife about her slicing onions with the blade facing her thumb. This is eventually where you end up.
Oh, you beat me to it! One of the funniest skits ever, and to think he originally used that bit in his audition tape for SNL!
And the reason this is worthy to post on FR?
That wasn’t a mushroom Kevin.
Cooking is hazardous. Most cooks and chefs have accidents. Just tune into a episode of Chopped!
Tell her she must fold in her thumb. Fold in all finger tips when using a sharp blade.
Commercial kitchens are not for the faint of heart! I’m going to culinary school this fall but will NOT be working in a commercial kitchen. Between the foul language, bullying, physical and mental stress, I’d be taken out in a white coat within hours. That said, you guys can produce some pretty good food.
Actually, probably the opposite..she likely went out and bought a very expensive chef knife set, which are beautifully balanced, and thus near lethal for amateur cooks with poor knife skills. With a dull knife, the finger tip is usually mangled...not sliced off cleanly..
When I am helping friends who don’t cook my first rule is that if someone tells you that they haven’t had an accident or a partially un-salvageable mistake in the past two weeks, they probably weren’t really cooking.
Absolutely. Food disasters occur every day. The great late food writer Laurie Colwin made a career out of writing about her kitchen horrors!
Let alone a news story??
