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.

But I’ll tell you something worse, Stef. When we were teenagers, my brother was chopping hot chili pepper. As in siling labuyo. It was his first time to handle chili peppers. Then, he went to the toilet to take a leak. When he came out he looked murderous. At me. Why didn’t I tell him daw… hahahahaha
Hahaha! Stef, you made my day. 😀
This is the first time I saw a cooking-centered resolution list. I’m sure you will stick to them til the end of the year. 😉

10 things you didn’t know about me..hope you have time, though..hehe
Hahaha! Too funny…but I can relate 🙂 I smell stuff using the hand waving way — waving the aromas towards my nose. People laugh, but it works! And if you do it right, you look like a ballerina while you’re at it 😉
Oh my gosh!
