I was pushing the yams over the mandolin at Christmas time one year. I do this thing we call Christmas crack and only make once a year. A little pricey for the cheese but worth it. Recipe at the end.
Anyway, every year now we talk about me jamming my thumb in in the blade and how we looked for blood to make sure I didn't mess up the yam slices dropping into the cream. I had pushed my thumb into the blade side ways through the quick and about halfway into the nail. Gruesome and late enough Christmas day I use tape and gauze to keep it wrapped. The next day found these really cool little finger sized condoms to make it through the holidays. Fixed it. Can't tell which thumb it was. hahaha I recently chopped my middle finger with a knife I had just sharpened. Well honed. It was already sharp. Not working I got one of those Ken Onion Edition mk2's with attachments to keep the blade level. Same thing with water proof band aids - probably next something brand - and finger condoms when I needed to separate it from food prep. Can only see the line where it went in now. That one may have changed my middle finger print.
Lopping the top off? How to you get the bleeding to stop on that? I'd be asking Missk and Lilianna for advice again. Thanks you two for a couple years ago, I was really afraid and you made it pretty cool.

2 cups Heavy Cream
1 tsp salt
3 lbs yams, peeled
1/2 cup Shredded [Grand Cru] Gruyere

You'll Need:9-inch x 9-inch baking dish, mandolin, nonstick cooking spray, large baking sheet I use 9x17 bakes better/burns a little

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1.Spray baking dish with nonstick spray. Place baking dish on baking sheet.

2.Stir together heavy cream and salt in large bowl. Using mandolin, slice yams into bowl, coating slices with cream mixture as you work.

3.Layer 1/3 of yams in baking dish. Sprinkle with half of cheese. Repeat with another 1/3 of yams and remainder of cheese. Top with remaining yams. Pour any remaining yam-cream mixture over top.

4.Bake uncovered on center rack of oven 30 min. Remove from oven.

5.Press fork or spatula, carefully, against top layer to allow liquid to flow over "crust." Replace pan in oven; bake 30 min. Remove pan; press top layer to allow liquid to flow over top. Replace pan in oven; bake 40-45 min or until yams are tender. Remove from oven; let rest 15 min.

Get enough the first time round. There will not be seconds or left overs.
Thanks for the recipe,I’m going to try it.
I tried to stop the bleeding for a couple hours, I wrapped it super tight with gauze, and that stretchy gauze stuff , but it kept bleeding through. since my mast cells sometimes dump heparin enough to look like a bleeding disorder, I figured I better get help so I called one of my brothers and he took me to a free standing er.
They kept saying things like don’t worry we can see the flap back on,and I kept saying there is no flap, but when they got the bandage off they kind of freaked because it was just gone. Eventually they got it to stop, and bandaged it up well, so it just kind of oozed a bit every so often.
I thought I hadn’t cut through the nail, but I had. It took quite a while to heal, and I don’t have a complete fingerprint. My nail looks a little funky, but it’s back where it should be and the end of my finger is still sore.
I use a knife glove whenever I am near the mandolin.
 
yeah, I have gotten random women PMing me out of nowhere. My back immediately gets up & it doesn’t feel real. I have answered the first one, then got a super bad feeling about it, and left the convo. Then about an hour later I got another one from a different name but the same picture. Then I knew it was some kind of scam. I’ve gotten 2 more & haven’t even responded & just left the convos & ignored any additional responses. I’m not sure how it’s a scam, and I can’t prove it. But I’m sure it’s some kind of scam.
Even this old Grandpa gets these scammers like you do. I do the same - ignore them.

I have thought how fun it would be to pretend I am excited and wealthy and then play them along until they realize what I’m doing. But it’s not worth my time.

Sounds delicious. We used to do a dressing in the er for fingers with tube gauze and a silver cage. If u were mean to me i would make it look like a little dick
I have cutco knives and i hate them...cut myself every time i use them
 
I cut off the top part of my thumb pad while cleaning a mandoline. No one laughed though. It took a while to get the bleeding to stop.
A tourniquet will help. A young guy selling Cutco was demonstrating how a siccors would cut a penny. The scissors slipped of the penny and he cut his finger pretty bad. I had to put a tourniquet on it to stop the bleeding.
