Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Sliced my finger wide open with a bread knife somehow. About 1.5cm long by over half a cm high, on the side of my index finger.
In unrelated news, I made sourdough over the weekend! I used to do it semi-regularly pre-COVID but over COVID we couldn’t buy flour so were rationing what we had, then later I started using a cheats recipe for overnight sourdough buns (that had yeast in it to cheat). This is the first time I’ve made a real sourdough in probably over 4 years. It came out really good.
We just use a bread maker here, but I found using a sharp straight edge knife a lot better for cutting slices than the serrated knife. Granted our bread knife cost like $15 many years ago, so I’m not sure if more expensive ones are better.
This was at someone else’s house with their bread knife, ours is a lot less sharp 😆. Though I’m convinced I chopped myself because the “flat” side of the knife is towards the hand instead of away from it, I commonly use the side of my finger to guide the knife, I don’t often cut myself so easily. So it must be a problem with the knife! 😅
Damn that sounds painful. I think our bread knife is the sharpest knife in the block. Use it to score the fat on pork belly as the teeth are great for getting through flesh.
