Words of Advice...

[evilhippo]

For anyone this may come in handy for someday:

If you're grating ginger, don't attempt to blow the bits of ginger out of the other side of the grater. I'm not sure I will ever feel my lips again.

Also, don't balance the cutting board on the edge of the counter, unless you want a floor covered in onions (yes, no matter what you're cutting it'll turn into onions when it hits the floor, because I say so).

In other, still cooking-related news, in case anyone has forgotten how much of a sap I am... I've had some celery in my fridge since the last time I had a craving for celery and peanut butter which was probably in late September. I pulled it out today, expecting it to be gross mush, but instead it had grown and all its little pale leaves were pointing up, like it was reaching for some kind of light. And now I feel bad cutting it up and eating it, because it's alive and it has enough will to try to grow, even though it's been in my cold dark fridge in a plastic bag for... two months. It's gutsy celery! ...My goodness, if I can't even eat plants how am I going to survive? (It's a good thing I never see my meat while it's alive. If the cornish game hens I have for tomorrow suddenly started reaching towards the top of my fridge, I think I'd have other problems.)

I will keep these bits of advice in mind. At least now I know what to do if I ever need some onions and only have some apples or something.

Aaaa celery, you did good! ;A;

Just make sure you're not expecting to topple everything onto the floor. If the fruit or vegetable expects it, the floor transformation will never happen. Also, floor-onions are especially mean. They'll make you cry.

I feel like I should at least take a picture of it.
