Does anyone have a handy tip for peeling butternut squash? (Really, thin, tough skinned squashes of any variety)
I know about roasting them first but I was making a casserole where I needed to saute the squash and I couldn't do that with the skin on.
I was using my "new" knives - a smaller blade than usual for more control - and of course it slipped and I sliced my thumb. Not off. But enough for it to bleed profusely. After the usual pressure and cold water and application of a band-aid I was okay.
Mostly.
Turns out one uses one's thumb a large number of times throughout the day. Putting on one's clothes for example. I can't pull up my pants or put on my socks without a lot of maneuvering. Shoes hurt a lot. Keys and doorknobs present a difficulty.
Oy.
This is me and I did it again.

This post hurts just reading it. When I get such a cut I make a huge effort to not stretch my digit so as to keep the two side of the cut closed together at all times thus facilitating the healing process sans stitches.
Happy Healing :]
1) you need to build models again because your knife skills seem to have dulled (no pun intended but it is funny)
2) What is it with you, your thumb and knives?
3) I think a light boiling water would have let up the skin to peel but still allowed you to make the squash a casserolle.
THERE ARE TOO MANY STORIES ON THIS BLOG ABOUT YOU DOING BODILY HARM TO YOUR HANDS. SERIOUSLY, I NEED A DISCLAIMER BEFORE YOU START, YOU'RE FREAKIN' ME OUT.
