I am completely and utterly incapable of coming within ten feet of a grating or peeling device of any sort and keeping my skin intact. Last night’s Reader Recipe (recipe to come – you’ll love it!) called for me to grate a potato using a box grater. I don’t have one, so I decided to improvise with our cheese grater. I approached this evil device with extreme care, recalling the Treacherous Dinner of 2010, and STILL ended up slicing off part of my thumb. And in a few weeks I’m flying to Iowa to do some on-camera segments that will involve close-ups of my hands, which means that I really need to stop doing this.
Is it just me? Am I the klutziest person in the world? Or are there safer options out there that will protect my delicate paws?
