The Firey Hand
Jan. 16th, 2007 07:45 pmAs usual, I became involved in the process of pie preparation, and as usual, I burned my hand. Why must the price of pie always be blood? Why? Why?
Fortunately, I found a thing of Silvadene under the sink, because Mom has connections at the hospital.
On the subject of fires and hands, I read today that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began in Italy, where they believed the diamond was forged in the fires of love. I don't know whether I trust this information, as it is hard to know where one stands with diamonds, especially since DeBeers has a long history of making facts up.
Relatedly, Apollo Diamond, one of the super awesome companies that figured out how to make flawless (and bloodless) diamonds in the lab, is right here in Boston. I am desperate to visit, and positive they will not let me. Maybe if I brought them pie?
