Dag nab it! I cut myself again. And again! Sheesh!!

I am totally new to cooking and it's great fun. But I'm discovering that these kitchen gadgets are dangerous objects! I innocently stick my fingers into someting as I thinkg, "I'll just grab out that bit of onion.." and SLICE!! I've learned my lesson: no exploring kitchen gadgets with my poor vulnerable fingers!!!!

I didn't even know I cut myself! I was sitting here clicking on stuff and trying to figure out why on earth the computer mouse was so slippery. I won't go into detail but suffice it to say that when I looked at the mouse all I could think was, "Thank goodness the sight of blood doesn't bother me!" Otherwise I would have keeled over onto the floor to the amusement of the cats. (King Tut and Brodgar, adopted from Orkney Cats Protection, are our two hoose pusses.)

I'm cooking an onion-laced chicken Risotto using my awesome red cast-iron roasting pot that Erlend's Aunt bought us for our wedding. I LOVE THAT POT!! I love onion so I am also frying up some zuccini (you UK folks call it something that sounds like "core-czh-ette") with olive oil and oinions. I fell in love with olive oil while living in Sicily and I use every excuse I can to use it as well as onions!!

I'm just learning how to cook and I LOVE IT! It's like...art. Just like art. Only with cooking I create with flavors instead of colors.

OOooops I think my zuccini is burning!!

Typing with three bandaged fingers is quite an adventure...
