note to self

when grating the ginger for a yummy thai pork burger...keep your fingers clear of the sharp, sharp, metal teeth because grating part of your finger into the mix is not only painful but pretty gross for everyone who is eating your recipe. luckily i was just cooking for alex and i and alex will eat anything, although i didn't tell him i had grated my finger into the burger until after dinner.


don't be fooled by these apparently small cuts. they go deep. my god how they sting!
