Christmas Meal Derailed

Oh no. I sit here after a trip to the Emergency Room getting ready to order a take out meal for tomorrow. For those of you who are unaware, a mandolin is a very, very, very sharp instrument. So sharp that you don't really feel it when the tips of your fingers go through it 
Food saver is busy packaging up what was to be the meal of meals. Oh well....
Be safe out there all and Merry Christmas!
PS: I won't post any pics but believe me, it did happen!

Feel your pain. Several years ago I had to go to the hospital Christmas morning to get a piece of steel removed from my eye. After several hours and a patch over one eye I got home to start dinner and used a new Mac knife to take some butter off and cut the back of my wrist for twenty stitches.

No. A slicer.SaintJohnsEgger said:Are we talking about the musical instrument? -
You might want to also stay off ladders as well.
So very sorry for you.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd. -
@SaintJohnsEgger - See the black thing to protect your fingers, it was not used by the sounds of this - OUCH! Hope you recover quickly, Merry Christmas!
Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -
Yeouch! Hope you are healing well.
Don't tell your problems to people. 80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

The only music this morning was the tune coming from the OP's mouth! Note to myself: always use the guard when using the mandolin.SaintJohnsEgger said:Are we talking about the musical instrument?
On a serious note, heal quickly OP. Oh, and Geaux Tigers and Geaux Saints!Frank

Heal well Bo. When you get back to slicing do so with a pair of cut resistant gloves. Every mandolin should be sold with a pair.Firing up my XL Big Green Egg, KJ Jr. or Weber gasser in Salt Lake City

I sometimes use a 1/4 potato when slicing stuff. I can push down and get everything sliced. Worst case I have to pick a slice of potatoe out of the pile.bohemian said:The only music this morning was the tune coming from the OP's mouth! Note to myself: always use the guard when using the mandolin.

That sucks. Hope your finger(s) got stitched up and you're recovering with a beverage now.
I don't like the way the guard slides on mine, so I bought some cut resistant gloves. My thumb is most likely to get sliced when I use the mandolin, so I typically wrap my right thumb in a few turns of cloth medical tape. Has kept said digit intact so far.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
