@JoNorvelleWalker Why is your floor sticky? Do you need extra traction? My sister sent me a pair of sticky socks for those "traction emergencies." Note the grabby traction dots:

I have some of those.  You need tough soles to wear them.

The local hospital carries those traction socks and hands them out to patients.  I think I must have 4 or 6 pairs of them now.   I really like them.

My kitchen floor is sticky because I spilled lime juice on it.

I will never again reach into my food processor (NOT running) to check the consistency of pie crust dough. That blade is SHARP. Fortunately I have plenty of bandages and finger cots so I could contain the blood.

 

Seriously, folks: if the material in the processor bowl isn't too runny, tip it out onto a work surface and remove the cutting blade before feeling around the dough. If it is runny, use a spatula.

@Smithy I am sorry for your accident!  My food processor has long since been retired, but one reason I love my Blendtec blender is that the blades are intentionally dull and it's [almost] impossible for me to cut myself.

A couple to share today...

 

I shall never again reach into a near boiling (95C) sous vide bath only to discover my silicone gauntlet leaks.

 

I shall never again almost certainly again allow an organic pineapple to liquify in the living room.  I cannot lie, this makes twice in recent memory.

I will never again forget that my food processor has a dough blade in addition to a chopper blade. It worked fine for mixing the same pastry dough as before, with no hazard to my fingers.

I will never again put a smoked pork shoulder in the slow cooker in the afternoon intending to have some for dinner, ask John to carve it up come said dinner time, only to find I'd forgotten to plug it in.

I shall never again attempt to cook food in my kitchen.  Last night I was smoking a chicken breast in my GE smoker, grilling arepas on my Paragon, and running the Anova oven.  Of a sudden it got dark and quiet.

i used to have that .   now , as other work was being done here

 

I have 3 .  one of them is dedicated to the refrigerator , as it was easy to do.

 

the other two are 20 A .

 

dont know if I can run the IDS , AF , iPot    at the same time , on one circuit .

 

I might not be able to run the IDS and the AF at the same time , as a curiosity .
