- I will never blow into the grinder to clean it after using it for spices again. Or at least not with my eyes open.
- I will always, always, always wash my hands after handling garlic, onions, or hot peppers. And especially before I rub my eyes.
- I will not try to peel or cut anything in a hurry. Either that or always keep a stock of band-aids in my tool drawer.
- I will wear long-sleeved shirts when deep-frying stuff. And maybe a welding mask. Or a face shield.
- I will open windows and doors before setting my burner on high. Ear plugs will be helpful too, when the smoke alarms (all 7 of them) go off. And maybe I should warn the neighbors that I will be wokking.
- I will stop smelling the food with my face to the pan. The aroma of burning hair is quite interesting, though.
- I will thank God I still have my eyebrows.
