One Armed Cook!

 i decided to make my recipe for wendy's chili since it is cold and rainy outside.  i haven't so much as heated water since surgery 3 weeks ago.  so my first task was cutting up the onion-how do do so with only one hand?  i tried to peel it while holding it in the same hand, no go.  i held it between my knees to peel it--not a pretty site and the knife was scary!  but, i got it sort of peeled.  then i tried to cut it in half--one half is under the dishwasher as i write and i don't know where the other one is. i think the cats are using it as a toy.  so i had to start with another one.  finally got it peeled and put in the food processor whole--not pretty, but chopped!  success!  then trying to open the cans of beans, found the same between the knees method worked.  then browning the ground turkey breast...nearly burned my splint!  while measuring salt, chili powder, cumin, and peppers, spilled as much as i measured.  the kitchen is a disaster, but the chili is cooking!  i am so tired now, i'm not interested in eating it.  i hope ron appreciates this!!!  but, probably not, he will have to scavenge for the lost onions!  after my debacle today, i have decided one armed people should EAT OUT!

Please tell me Ron filmed this and it will be on You-Tube before the day is over!

I can see it now...New food show debuts on Food Network.  The One Armed Cook, or "How not to peel an onion between your knees".

At least your getting your protein!

Oaky, I am sitting here at work, just rolling.  People walk by and just give me the funniest look.  Take care and maybe you should order out...... Melissa

For gosh sakes Marilyn - just BUY the dang chili from Wendy's until your are healed up before you kill yourself!! 

BwaHahahaha!!! 

I am so thankful I'm a civil service employee and they can't fire me for laughing hysterically in my office - they might refer me to EAP, but they can't fire me.  Thanks for the entertainment this afternoon.  The visuals I conjured up only made it even better.

Glad you still have a sense of humor after all you've been through this year.

OMG!!!!!!!!Marilyn, that is too funny, I would have loved to have seen that. Since no one caught that on camera, I would say that you just lost $10,000 or maybe the $100,000 from America's Funniest Video's. You are a dang determined woman to say the least. I know that it is killing you during this time. How much longer do you have to wear your fashionable looking acessory?

Ron has renamed my chili 'one armed chili'.  he loved it but suggested i instruct him next time!  guess it was the fishing for the onion???
