I had a fight with a can of mandarin oranges.
The can won.
That’s why this post is a day late. I spent my Sunday evening in the ER tending to my filleted finger.
You know the metal cans with the pull-tab top? Well, I was pulling & it was stuck. I moved the can over to the sink to tug harder, thinking juices are going to splatter on me. All of a sudden, something splatters all right – my blood! I cut a hunk of my pinky out & had to stare at my finger for a good minute to make sure the top half wasn’t hanging on for dear life. I wake Garr up from his nap & we go to the ER & they are like ohhh you need a tetanus shot I am like ohhh wonderful. Then they poured some fiery acid onto my open wound & I almost punched the nurse in the mouth. It was all really pleasant.
So I think I am suing Dole & would like one of you to represent me. Please & thanks.

First I have to say I LOVE your photo. It made me laugh and reminded me of last summer when I ate a mouth full of Cajun Bell Pepper (yikes- never again). Secondly, this recipe looks and sounds so delicious. I am just wondering if I could do this on my gas grill and get some good char marks. Thank you for liking my blog. I do hope you will check back from time to time.
