Quartzsite, AZ
Today started out cloudy, and it stayed that way most of the day. The winds picked up out of the northwest again, and a wind advisory has been in effect this afternoon. The weather didn’t interfere with our plans, since we didn’t really have any. We hung out inside for a while, yakked outside for a while, and started an early dinner. We missed the daily gathering, as Geri was off starting dinner and I was outside trying to get sunset pictures.
All was going well until I came back inside to do my part of the dinner preparations (sautéing the onions for the burgers) and found that Geri had been making shoestring fries with the mandoline. This is a kitchen tool than makes very small slices. It’s excellent for making shoestring fries. It’s also excellent for shaving the end of your finger off if you’re not careful. In general, Geri’s not allowed to use ladders and sharp knives. Mandolines fall into the latter category.
So, instead of onions, it was band-aid time. Actually, numerous band-aids, antibiotic, finger condoms, etc. Hopefully, we’ve got it wrapped up well enough. We’ll see how it is tomorrow.
Here is a link to some other pictures from today:
