between my tongs when I was turning over some food. Just a warning... keep those fingers out of the way! I had no idea they were so sharp (maybe old ones wouldn't have been) but I felt a pinch, looked down, and ended up getting 2 stitches! Ow.

 
Oh My! When you are healed, you will refer to it as your badge of honor...Hope you were making

something that works well with your story! : )

All the best,

Ouch, that is one sharp pair of tongs. It reminds me of an injury I had right before a party.

It was Jacques' 50th, and he wasn't too keen, so I had to maintain a cheerful countenance through all the preparations or he would have wanted to cancel. He was not supportive of the complicated meal I had planned either. Two days before the party we got a fabric delivery at our shop. I was slicing open packages in a hurry because I wanted to get home to start cooking, and I put a big gash in my palm with a box cutter. We went to the emergency room and I was having trouble coping. I was trying to explain to the nurse, "I don't have time for this you know. I have fifty people coming for a party Saturday and I haven't started cooking!" She deadpanned, "Am I invited, because otherwise I can't imagine why you are telling me this."

8 stitches later, I was forced by fate to simplify the menu.

 
I really laughed out loud at that nurse's reply! not funny then, but thanks for the chuckle now.

 
ouch! Ive gotten finger stuck in an all-clad spatula, but not in tongs, and no stitches!

Glad it's not your index finger, at least you can get your pinkie out of the way some of the time.

 
Yes, he behaved. smileys/wink.gif He was actually pretty nice about it. So much so that I was forced to admit

that the revised one-handed menu was better for the party than the over-the-top one I had originally planned.

 
I looked it more closely since then, and it was the part where the "curved under" part of the tongs

flattens out and becomes the hinge. There was a sharp little point there (metal) that must've done it. Poor design!

Thanks for all of your well wishes!
