Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 2/4/2024
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
You're viewing a single thread.
Sliced my finger wide open with a bread knife somehow. About 1.5cm long by over half a cm high, on the side of my index finger.
In unrelated news, I made sourdough over the weekend! I used to do it semi-regularly pre-COVID but over COVID we couldn't buy flour so were rationing what we had, then later I started using a cheats recipe for overnight sourdough buns (that had yeast in it to cheat). This is the first time I've made a real sourdough in probably over 4 years. It came out really good.
Damn that sounds painful. I think our bread knife is the sharpest knife in the block. Use it to score the fat on pork belly as the teeth are great for getting through flesh.
You really should get a whetstone and sharpen your knives.
Ouch!!!
We just use a bread maker here, but I found using a sharp straight edge knife a lot better for cutting slices than the serrated knife. Granted our bread knife cost like $15 many years ago, so I'm not sure if more expensive ones are better.
This was at someone else's house with their bread knife, ours is a lot less sharp 😆. Though I'm convinced I chopped myself because the "flat" side of the knife is towards the hand instead of away from it, I commonly use the side of my finger to guide the knife, I don't often cut myself so easily. So it must be a problem with the knife! 😅
It's always the knifes fault!
Ouch! That'll be an annoying spot too
My 3yo asked me why I cut my finger on a knife. "You don't hold this end" (gesturing at the air), "you hold this end where it's not sharp".
Thanks, I could have done with that advice a little earlier.
