So after the election I grew silent but I was actually busy including attending a class at our local technical college on Knife Skills. My reasons were twofold: a friend wanted to go and my arthritis is gearing up as it does this time of year. I had hoped learning some tricks might save me some pain down the road.
Some of what they taught, I knew. After all, I have been cooking for 50 years. (One of my Grandmothers was legally blind so) I was her hands and eyes in the kitchen when I visited almost every weekend. There were plenty of new tricks and I got a great idea for Christmas (which I will share in January since the family reads my blog.)
Did you know that you should steel your knife every time you use it? Do you believe that the chef had the whole range of knives to use and basically used a chef's knife for almost everything except a few fine cuts he did with a paring knife? It was very interesting! I hope a learned a few lessons like never using my finger on top of the knife blade and how to cut the ends off a kiwi and then take a teaspoon and slowly separate the skin from the flesh, first from one side and then the other.

Capturing my ongoing fascination with the depth and breadth of internet sites out there. Ranging from the absurd to the relevant I highlight sites I locate, some of my posts are long and some short based on available time and what I have seen that is new to me. Although originally a joke newsletter, I have become far more interested in sharing information with my readers. I hope you enjoy this blog and feel free to comment or suggest other sites for my readers. Thanks!
