I have a scar on my left index finger from cutting lemons with a troutty knife. I was waiting tables and it bled so much I was the first server cut so I could go home and deal with it. I was on my third Band-Aid at that point.
I injure myself a lot. Cheese grated my finger by accident once and that hurt more than expected. Accidentally dumped warm (not hot, thankfully) oil on myself once, regularly cut myself, hit my hand on the top part of the oven where it was super hot and my hand was blistered and purple for a long time after that.
Yooooooooo when on a Friday night you decide to make enough chicken poached in napoletana sauce for a few nights and you end up having to reduce the sauce for like 2 hours. Dinner at 10pm
I've been told dinner dates in Australia never start on time anyway.
When I was first learning to cook I left oil on the stove and let it get so hot it caught fire... Tip: don't let oil get to hot or it will ignite. Also keep a lot lid nearby and all times when working with oil like that.
