amanda_loddenLessons learned today:
1. A food processor is a marvelous appliance, especially when you're cooking a large quantity of food.
2. Food processors are meant to be used in short spurts, with smaller quantities of food, no matter what they claim their capacity is.
3. An onion left on the "chop" setting for too long looks suspiciously like onion puree.
4. Pureed onion is disgusting.
5. Food processor blades are sharp.
6. Cuts from food processor blades do not clot as fast as a cut from a knife.
7. Even once a cut has clotted and you can go back to cooking without bleeding all over everything, you should avoid getting onions anywhere near the cut, as the acid from them hurts like hell.
And no, I did not bleed on the food. I cut myself as I was taking the blade out of the food processor to wash it, and I sat with a paper towel and a lot of pressure on the cut until it stopped bleeding. Then I waited a while longer before continuing, just to be sure I wouldn't re-open the wound.
