Bloody Cod and Potatoes

We made Emma's Cod and Potatoes tonight, and it was good (we used black cod, also known as sablefish) but when I was slicing up the potatoes with the mandolin, with my usual dexterity I cut my thumb and proceeded to bleed over everything. There was blood in the sink, blood in the bowl, blood on my sweater, blood on the floor, blood on the walls.

I'm really not sure how blood got on the walls. Maybe I have high blood pressure.

The kitchen looked like a crime scene. I'm glad we didn't have any violent crimes tonight or I might have created some confusing physical evidence.
