So I was in the kitchen today looking for something to eat, as I often do multiple times during the day, especially on Sundays when I am hungry and bored ;), and I found some older-looking carrots. They weren't fresh carrots because the ends looked a little bit soft and droopy, kind of like the way our skin gets when we age...Anyways, I decided to make carrot soup in order to make good use of these droopy vegetables before they expired completely.
I looked for a recipe and this is what I found:
epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/carrot-soup-with-ginger-and-lemon-4083
Now fast-forward a bit. The soup was absolutely delicious! The same consistency as butternut squash soup but with a tangier taste. I will absolutely be making it again in the future.
Backing up to before I started making the soup...and about a year before that :).
My parents wanted new kitchen knives, and so did I, so we went to Canadian Tire and picked up the Henkels Aviara set which was on sale for $299.99 regular $899.99. Seemed like a great deal so we went for it.
Now back to the present day, January 10, 2016.
I was almost finished chopping the onion for the soup, using the sharpest Henkels Aviara chef knife...you may already have guessed where this story is going...and the last part of the onion was a little tricky to slice. Let's just say my thumb got in the way.
The knife took a 1cm x 1cm x 2mm chunk of skin off my left thumb. It wouldn't stop bleeding for quite some time, despite my constant pressure with a kleenex but I was eventually able to make it stop and let it air out. Now my thumb just has a pink wound on the tip that dips in a bit.
The moral of the story is that the Henkels Aviara knife set is a really good one! The knives are really sharp! But I was advised by one of my co-workers that this story is not the best one to tell when trying to sell knives :P.
