Oh, My God, Girls!!!!!!!!!! You Are Simply Not Going To Believe This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Now, understand, darlings, I have not spoken to Meryl, personally.  You know how difficult it is to get a luncheon date with her?  Even Barack Obama has trouble!!!!!!!!!!!  So, what you are about to hear--which is shocking enough to contemplate--I found out by accident.

                                  Around the beginning of last month, Meryl Streep had surgery on her left hand!
The most highly insured left hand in the business, I am sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    It seems she was in the kitchen, slicing up an avocado, when she sliced too far into her own hand!  She went to a doctor, who surgically repaired things, bandaged her, and sent her on her way.  Thank God it was not serious, and Meryl, being brilliant, had the sense to take care of things immediately.  I wouldn't expect anything different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Now, what is so shocking to contemplate about all this?????  Well, the first thing is that it happened to Meryl Streep, who is beyond the pall of us mortals!!!!!!  Imagine--

                                         Meryl Streep bleeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          Meryl Streep goes to the doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           Meryl Streep was in a kitchen!!!!!!!!!  Now, what in the world, darlings, would she be doing there?????  I mean, if you are Meryl Streep, you get your servants--or, at the very least your husband and/or children--to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Or Stanley Tucci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             Meryl Streep was slicing food with a knife!!!!!!!!! This might have worked brilliantly, when portraying Julia Child, but why in the world would she do this now????????????

                                               I am not going to start with avocados, because I don't like them.   Except in guacamole.  Though believe me, if Meryl Streep herself served them to me, I would damn well eat each and every one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 Quelle catastrophe, girls!!!!!!  Thank Heaven Meryl is all right!  But what does this all mean?????????  That we should all do our own avocado slicing, in the kitchen??????
I may hang out in my kitchen, but I make coffee, butter bread, and, hope to attempt those aforementioned recipes. Knife slicing and avocados are simply not part of my plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     But watch yourselves, girls!!!!!!! Because if Meryl Streep could actually injure herself, what does that say about the rest of us??????????  That we are all capable of self-mutilation!??????????????????????

                                                         Such cut ups, you are, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
