Hope you’re having a peachy day.

My day hasn’t been super peachy so far.

I managed to slice my finger open while I was slicing some bread with a humongous serrated knife and did quite a number on it. Just one of those little kitchen calamities that happen but I wish I had one of these to eat to forget about the injury.

However, we are headed to the beach right now. I may just order one.

Yes, that’s sound like a plan.

What’s been the best part of your weekend so far?

Mine has been being in Aruba, with my family, and great (albeit super hot) weather. It’s been a fabulous weekend other than my finger.

  1. sorry about your finger girl.
    it happens to all of us–just your turn.
    my weekend was amazing.
    i’ve been screaming it all over FB, lol, I cleaned out all the house gutters, took down a tree, and took down a ton of branches from another tree.
    i’m exhausted, but its a good kind of tired, since the gutters were so full. here in NE we get a ton of rain and gutters have to be cleaned.
    isn’t this a fun comment? LOL. boring I know.
    take care of that finger girl
    xoxo

    1. It’s on the mend but you know how it goes – things happen in the kitchen. Ugh. Your weekend sounds uber productive….love those!

  2. Oh no! I know that situation all too well. I have lost feeling in places where I have almost hacked off fingers because I never went to get stitches. Serrated knives are the worst because it is not a clean cut. Yikes! I hope it heals quickly!!

    1. Eeek on the description of your wounds and cuts and lost feeling in places – this one isn’t going to be that bad I don’t think but have done some doosies to myself over the years and can relate!

  3. Ouch, Averie… I hope your finger heals quickly…
    I am so glad to win the infuser, can’t wait to make my favorite drinks in it! :) Thank you, Averie!

  4. Take care of the finger! :)
    Best part of the weekend thus far is a toss-up between shameless sleeping til noon and dancing around in the park last night with friends at a concert…

  5. Oh Averie :/ so sorry to read about your knife/hand collision!!! I hope it’s fast healing (get that sex on the beach!). The best part of my weekend was girls night last night – so much good food!!!

  6. OUCH! So sorry about the finger…the salt water will heal it up quickly at least. Hey, you could get Scott to do the dishes?….Your pictures of the beaches are so gorgeous as they are every year. I’ve been emptying out my fridge. Poured chocolate over everything and called it Chocolate Bark LOL> https://wp.me/p26wpj-O4
    Take care of that finger. We need you cooking up a storm when you’re back from Vacation! :)

    1. What are you talking about – I’ve been cooking up a storm ON vacation :) You will see as the weeks unfold what I’ve been up to :) Your choc dessert looks great!

  7. Eek, sorry to hear about your finger, Averie! I hate when that happens :( hopefully a drink and some gorgeous sight-seeing will make you forget about your throbbing finger. Emphasis on the drink :) have a wonderful Sunday!

  8. I just ate a peach! So good. Ouch on the finger! I slip a lot cutting stuff while I’m keeping an eye on Kay…Best part of the weekend? Its been a crazy crazy weekend- throwing a bachelorette party and taking Kay to a kids party. Im ready to fall on the floor

  9. So sorry to hear about your finger. I’m always afraid of kitchen accidents. I hope you are doing okay and heal quickly. Did you have to go to the doctor? Need stitches? Hope not :)

  10. Eek! Sorry to hear about your finger. Cuts like that are the worst! Have that delicious looking cocktail–it’ll take your mind off of it! ;)

  11. The best part of my weekend has been playing in the kitchen with the bounty of fresh fruit and veggies one of my patients gave me (that’s what led to the cantaloupe ice cream the other day). I love fixing meals that didn’t all come from the grocery store. I also made what I thought would be a boatload of zucchini chips in the dehydrator, but those suckers shrink down SO much. Still good though! Hope your finger is ok–cuts like that make it hard to use your hand. Seems like my hands are always getting wet from washing them at work or when I’m in the kitchen so band-aids don’t last long.

    1. I cook and wash dishes with gloves on as much as possible. I wash dishes and everything else what seems like non-stop and even within one food photo shoot the amount of wiping and de-crumbing and rinsing is just insane so I try to put on gloves to save my skin as much as possible!

      And yes – kale chips are so deceiving! They shrink like crazy!

  12. Oh my goodnes!! I ended up at the ER Tuesday night after almost chopping off my middle finger and I am no exaggerating!! They actually took x-rays to check for bone damage. I was so scared!! But 5 days later I am back in the kitchen cooking and baking. Five more days to go and I get my stitches out so I am right there with ya…sort of, I am nowhere near a beach. I bet that would have made feel better a lot quicker :)

    1. It was my middle finger, too! Loaf of bread, holding it with left hand, knife in right, and somehow I just miscalculated the length of the blade and BAM middle finger looking very gnarly. GLAD you are okay – but stitches and possible bone damage. That is SCARY. Take care of yourself and glad you are on the mend and cooking again. :)
