My elderly neighbor calls tonight and asks if I have a big sharp knife she can borrow. I told her I would bring her one right over. I warned her to be careful because I keep all of my knives sharp. She tells me she needed it to chop up a bunch of cabbage for a dish she is making for a meal at church.

An hour and a half later dummy me realized I should have offered to bring over the food processor and run the cabbage through it :mad:
I just wasnt thinking. Hopefully none of her fingers were among the things she had to chop. She is going to be 88 years old in Sept.

Well - she did ask for a knife! Knowing how sharp it was you could have offered to chop it for her and then tell her that your processor would do a good job. But at 88 - she may tell you what to do with your chopper too! Many oldsters do it the "right" way - and you can't change that. If your chopper does it a fraction smaller or larger than she wants - it won't work for some.

At least check on her to see if she needs a blood transfusion! LOL

No major blood loss. No bandaged fingers.
I made the excuse to take her over some buttermilk cornbread I made this morning.
We usually split a batch when I make it.

She knows her stuff! BEWARE of an 88 year old woman with a sharp knife! LOL

lol
She lives alone so there is no husband to worry about.
