Part 2

Aha, I am back. Whoo, let me catch my breath. Amy Grant, if you ever read this, I just want to say, never cook with three kids in the kitchen ever again! Little Emily keeps trying to play with knifes and Bobby likes the Garbage disposal! At least Susan is a good little girl, when you give her pots to play drums on.

Any ways, Part two of Knife wielding. So, before you start cutting anything, always make sure that it has a flat side to set against the cutting board. If you are chopping a potato, your first slice should cut off a small section of one side so it will rest evenly on the board and wont role away. That is one of the main reasons people cut themselves. People always like to play tag with their food. TRUST ME IT IS NOT SAFE OR FUN!!!!! Doctors love tag, and so do blood hounds. No, not that dog in your back yard, blood hounds are sprites for doctors. Nasty little buggers, almost as bad as Drones, but ten times creepier.

Anyways, before I went off on that little tangent, I was talking about the main reasons people cut themselves with knifes. Well, one of them is playing tag, but the other is people stick their fingers in the way of the knife. No fun. To keep yourself from cutting fingers off, take the hand that is holding the potato and shape it into a "C." Kinda like your holding a glass of water. Now, with your hand still shaped like a "C," place your hand on top of the potato like it is standing on a rock. Your thumb should know be far away from the blade of the knife.

"But," you say "my front fingers can still be cut by the knife." Yes, this is true, if you use your knife like a mallet. If cutting anything other than bread or meat, a part of the knife should always be touching the cutting board. I personally prefer people keep the tip of the knife on the board so that it doesn't decide to take a walk.

Take a quick look at your "C" hand, you will notice that your middle finger, the one you make rude gestures with, has currently created what looks like a wall. What you should now do is lean your knife up against that wall so they just kiss each other. As you cut, your hand should move with the knife so that you will always know where each one is by touch. Some day you might even get good enough to chop onions with your eye closed, though I would not suggest it.

Well, I had better go before Jordan Durr tries to make s'mores in the kitchen.
Ta ta!
