How NOT To Handle Salmon

... or a knife, for that matter.

I had every intention of getting a shot of MamaDB looking like a fool (like she did to me and the onion incident), but it would appear that I really have NO idea what I'm doing in the kitchen.

I would like to dedicate this video to my mother - who did the smart and brave thing and gave up trying to show me how to do anything in the kitchen. I love you, Mom!



Let's review:

1. Never handle raw fish unless you have a plan for where you intent to put it down to cut.
2. It is more efficient to cut French Bread horizontally rather than vertically.
3. Is there a point to using salted butter versus unsalted butter?

The salmon turned out beautifully, and the meal was delicious - so there!

Seriously...you make a kick-ass lasagna. No knife required.

What IS the point of salted butter?

And I'm SO not on board with cutting French loaf in that manner.

It's like a reality cooking show, see? And you get some tips in there. Mostly in how NOT to do things.

This is money!

Mama - Thanks, dearie! Now, if our family could only live off of cheese, sauce and meat, we'd be set!

ATBD - Salted butter, right? After seeing the video, I'm not in favor of that method for cutting either. I don't know if I can change though.

Mark - I NEVER noticed that I put my index finger on the knife when cutting. I don't even know how that is comfortable! Money in the bank - true story.

I love the part where, and I'm assuming, you dropped the fish? The look on your face...pricless.

Also, I once cut a bagel horizontally, like how you're SUPPOSED to, and the knife went all the way through the bagel and into my index finger. So, horizontal is not always better.
