i got mad skillz

i got mad skillz

knife skills, that is. last night at the Institute of Culinary Education, i saw the light. i now know why i have been so inefficient in the kitchen. i was working against my cutlery! chopping when i ought to have been slicing; sharpening when i ought to have been honing-- the ignominies were countless.


but thanks to the genius (and i do not use that word lightly) of Norman Weinstein, i now know how to, inter alia: grip my knife properly; slice garlic paper-thin; make a rose out of tomato skin; and, very importantly, cut an onion with as few tears as possible.

now i only need to acquire a home collection of Wusthof knives i used at class. thank goodness for the registry... !!!

so envious! I'm dying to take one of these classes... and, um, to have a registry to update with deadly weapons.

I won't be taking any such class. I'm not allowed to use anything but a butter knife anymore.

And if you get those knives, superstition says you have to give $1 to the person that gave them to you - who knows why. I never did, which may be why I cut myself so badly using one them. I plan to send that $1 to my aunt and uncle soon.
