In the interest of keeping folks safe and sound I thought I’d pass along this little safety tip. Don’t ever, I repeat EVER mix in a little whiskey sipping prior to operating a butcher knife in the preparation of one’s dinner. I tried that little experiment last night and as I was slicing away on some tomatoes I suddenly realized that I was bleeding to death. Yessiree Bob, I cut a nice chunk out of my finger on account of my highly trained abilities with a very sharp kitchen utensil had been seriously compromised by another highly trained skill, that being some serious whiskey sipping prior to the aforementioned undertaking.
Needless to say it scared the bejeebers out of me and I immediately commenced to counting my digits. When I got to nine and a half I breathed a big sigh of relief because I knew I was getting pretty close to the magic number of ten. Well needless to say it interfered with my dining experience. Blood always messes with the evening's ambiance not to mention it was all over my tomatoes, marinated pig’s feet and the kitchen counter. At the time I wasn't exactly thinking I'd like a glass of red wine, if you get my drift. So you might want to write this little ditty down on a napkin or your arm or something and remember that you should never, ever “Sip and Slice.” If you do decide to sip then for goodness sakes make sure there’s a “Designated Slicer” available. Also make sure they’re not pissed off at you cause they’re the one's holding the knife. That’s all for now. Beam me up Scotty!

And mixing knives and whiskey? It can be amusing, but the fun's over when somebody cries. Or bleeds.
