The time I mixed up miter saw dust for cinnamon at a potluck

Was at a cabinetmaker's workshop party last weekend. They had snacks on a table right next to the saw station. I grabbed what I thought was cinnamon for my apple pie, but it was fresh sawdust from a miter cut. The host still laughs about my dusty dessert face.

Yeah after I nearly seasoned a salad with wood filler at my uncle's shop, I started putting everything in clear deli containers with big labels. Sounds extra but it beats having plywood flavored potato salad again.

Ever wonder why some shops feel like a health code violation waiting to happen? That wood filler was probably just sitting next to the paprika because nobody thought it through. Labeling everything is just basic common sense, not extra.

Wow, parker_ellis, that's crazy! You almost put wood filler in a salad? How does that even happen? Clear deli containers with labels sounds smart, but plywood flavored potato salad? That must have been disgusting. Who keeps wood filler near food anyway? I mean, did your uncle learn his lesson after that?
