Unrelated to souls and the like -- you did see the movie, right, Kristin? Did you enjoy it? If you hadn't been in the mood for it at the premiere, it would have sucked to have it ruined, despite the obvious celebrityBuffista allure.

eta: Ha! x-post, I swear.

Graters are the single most dangerous kitchen implement. I always wind up donating blood to the cause. (Or to the potato pancakes, the pimento cheese, ...)

ita, I did see the movie, and I loved it. I know that isn't the popular opinion, but I did. I ate it up and burped like a Frenchman.

ETA: Hee! I know it was. I was just being faux-pathetic.

I know that isn't the popular opinion

I don't know if that's true -- plenty of people in the Firefly thread expressing their love. Not to mention good exit poll numbers.

I buy my cheese grated more and more often. I find I'm safer with the microplane, but I still have to be on DEFCON 3 to get away safe.

The sad thing is that I wasn't even really cleaning the grater. I was cleaning the counter and brushed--I thought lightly, but obviously not--up against it. It's bled through two bandaids so far.

Clutziness + Aimee / block cheese = Salad Shooter.

I find I'm safer with the microplane,

Go microplane. Microplane is your friend.

I've microplaned my fingers too. Smaller, daintier cuts. Anyway, microplanes are no good for coarse grating, such as you need for pimiento cheese.

That's why you let other people do the work for you. Back in the day, I'd have a friend over, make him grate, and then feed him as recompense.

Now I just buy grated.

Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg:

I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner.
