"Canola" oil is actually rapeseed oil. "Canola" was derived from "Canada," where the variety of rapeseed that is used in food was developed and "ola" to mean "oil," as in "Mazola."

Canola is the singular form of cannoli. As in: I, having refined manners and taste, had a single canola for dessert, whereas my pig boyfriend had a dozen cannoli! :p

Joy Behar hospitalized after avocado accident

 

On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar revealed she had to miss work Monday because she’d sliced open her hand cutting an avocado.

 

“Saturday night, on my way to the event at the retreat, I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife,” she explained. “I was trying to desperately eat something, so I was trying to open an avocado. So I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out … and I stabbed myself!”

 

At the hospital, where the 75-year-old stayed overnight and was administered an antibacterial drip to ward off infection, Behar was told that this sort of accident happens all the time.

 

“Apparently there is a syndrome called avocado hand,” she said. “It’s real! The doctor said, ‘We get this all the time.’ And bagels also. Any time you’re holding the item, and you cut it, you can get this.”

 

Despite the pain she was in, Behar still had a sense of humor about the ordeal, even after her fellow panelists gave her a safety glove and an avocado slicer.

 

“I’ll leave the dicing to Rachael Ray and only buy ready-made guacamole. That’s it!” she joked.

 

Sounds like a solid plan.
