"In my line of work, I tend to get tingly hands from writing too much (hello carpal tunnel!). I also write about food and do recipe testing and development for magazines, so I burn my hands on the stove/oven far more than I like to admit. That&amp;#x27;s why I can--almost--relate to poor Paula Deen&amp;#x27;s injury yesterday... Food Network chef Paula Deen was hit in the head by a ham on Monday morning at a charity event in Atlanta. She was helping unload a truck of hams, reports US Magazine, when someone--playfully--tossed a ham at her. Well, it hit her right in the face and nose. Ouch! She was &amp;quot;startled at first, but quickly regained focus and kept her humor,&amp;quot; says her rep. A few hours later, Paula was said to be icing her face and laughing off the ordeal, telling a radio station that the ham &amp;quot;hit me full long in the face and &amp;#x27;bout knocked me cuckoo, but I&amp;#x27;m fine.&amp;quot; I know, she puts way too much butter and mayo in everything, but don&amp;#x27;t you just love this woman&amp;#x27;s spirit? She&amp;#x27;s a hoot! Well wishes, Paula. P.S. Remember the terrible story of the chocolate worker that died in a vat of chocolate? So sad!
