A Day of Irony

On a daily basis, I use tools with names like "gouge", "lino cutter" and "#1 blade" to perform various carving and cutting tasks. In fact, I have an entire hard plastic case devoted to storing a plethora of sharp, pointy objects to prevent injury. Since I have not so much as chipped a fingernail while carving, I'm going to assume that my method works.

Yet somehow, I ended up in Urgent Care today to get glued back together after a failed attempt at Guacamole. I find that ironic.

ER Doc: "We'll just put this Dermabond on here, give you a Tetanus shot and you'll be on your way."
A naughty Nitrocat: "I wasn't aware that Avocados carried Tetanus. Do I have to? The knife was clean."
ER Doc: "Well, I feel better, but you're still getting the shot."

The other thing that I find ironic is that today, of all days, I had a huge list of house cleaning chores that I was going to tackle. It just goes to show that being a Slacker is better for your health.

Guacamole

2 Avocado, peeled and chopped

6 large drops of blood, opt.

1 tomato, chopped

1/4 c. chopped green onions

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro

1 T. lime juice

5 canned chilies, seeded and chopped

Mash it all together and serve with chips or veggies. Hint: If you save one of the pits, and put it in the bowl when you store the guac, it will help prevent browning.
