i feel like a top chef...

...contestant that is.

My dad's coming tonight, and I'm making roasted tomato basil soup. I have both oversalted my dish and sliced my hand*, but kept working (so obviously I wouldn't be the Jaimie of top chef contestants). At least the one thing I have learned from the show: taste your food and adjust. Second (un-salted) batch is simmering, to be combined with the first.

Though as always, I think the show is insane, because if I were a contestant, my time would probably be up and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. So mad that I got all Anne-Burrell with the salt sill.

(* Not badly at all, though. This isn't like when Jeanne was here and I needed stitches but was really pissed I had to stop dicing my onion.)

I always get really annoyed when someone on the show makes something gross/salty/bland/whatever - don't they taste the damn thing?? I know palates very, but c'mon - you're a chef, you should be able to tell these things!! :)

Did you out one of those finger condoms on to protect your cut?! I love those things - they kill me!! ;) (glad your finger is ok!)

(whoa, my keyboard was possessed and put like 9000 periods at the end there for no reason! Egads. Time for bed, I guess.)

It makes me crazy when they don't taste their food, too! Though if it's broken beyond repair, I don't know what they can do! (Though, taste it before the last minute, right?)

The cut's on my palm! But omg those finger condoms are a riot!

(I hate it when my kb's possessed, too. Well, actually, I just hate this kb but have been too cheap to replace it!)

Yeah, you'd think they'd notice before it got to that irreparable

I think you should wear a finger condom anyway ;)

Haha--I totally agree. Let's ALL wear finger condoms!
