RE: Monday: Chopped

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I'll take two marmalade, one chili, and as usual, a whole batch of sourdough buns. I'll be there someday. 😂

Whew, that is some kitchen day, though. I chopped just a few things in my mother's kitchen on Sunday for Easter dinner and was reminded how precious a good knife is. I almost worked up a blister using her new-yet-still-not-sharp blade. Perhaps one of these holidays I'll get her a proper one. Side note--my set is as old as my cooking progression, but I worked at a home goods store right out of college and invested in a proper set of knives. Probably the best investment of my early 20's!

I've added those to your regular order! 😂

A good knife is an absolute necessity. As is a good steel for sharpening. Mine got sharpened twice yesterday. I am fortunate to have - when I did trade shows - been able to buy some good ones that are now nearly 20 years old. The Husband is also very good at regularly sharpening the knives using an oil stone. As you probably know, a super-sharp knife is much safer than a blunt one.

Confession time: I never go on a self-catering holiday without taking my knife!! I have two - so names for their manufacturers. One is Big Dick (we also have some Little Dicks) and Thomaas... 🤣 🤐
