Heh, I got a Global Oriental Chef's knife as one of my wedding presents,

LOL! That's par for the course with sharp knives. I trim my
fingernails with them too (right after they're sharpened).

So come on, what's your worst kitchen casualty?

I'm pretty careful in the kitchen now, but I had a nasty kitchen
episode when I was a teenager. I was making french fries from scratch.
I started heating the oil and the phone rang. Being a teenager, I
talked. When I remembered the oil, it was over heated and smoking. I
didn't know what to do with it, so I took it into the bathroom and
tossed the hot oil in the toilet. <Now you know why I'm careful> I
ended up with 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the exposed parts of my
body. It was very painful and left me with patches of skin that still
don't tan.

Had a one or two incidents like that in this household. Yes, boiling oil
really does get very interesting when water enters the picture.

Then in the household cleaning department, SO thought he'd do some
cleaning but never realized you should never mix amonia and bleach. He
thought he gassed the cats to death.
