I had a $100 gift card to one of the kitchen stores in town. There is not much that I can afford as a lot of it is for those that utilities a professional kitchen.
With 7 males to feed, it is not like I can’t use one of those kind of kitchens… just there is always my Wish List.
As I wandered through looking at this and that… I was taken by the knives. Do you ever watch those cooking shows… that skill of chop, chop, chop without a finger being added to the mix has always impressed me. I have a fear of sharp objects… you know when you nick your finger… even just a paper cut that sharp pain… fear has made me respect objects that can cause such pain.
The knives I have a duller than dull. Thus it makes cutting and chopping a chore.
I replace the knives with other cheap knives and the cycle continues.
So… I decided to use the gift card on a knife. Wow… have you seen the prices of knives? Have you seen how the climb rather quickly?
So… I got myself a MAC… sharp… super sharp.
I took it out of its box and used to today for supper. Wow. What a difference. Of course I am still very tentative but it gets the job done! It does the job very well.
So my tip for the day is get a GOOD knife. It is an investment. And then… take care of it. Don’t put it in the dishwasher or use dishwashing soap to keep it in ideal condition.
A great gift idea. My mom and mother-in-law would love a great knife. Hum… (Kumar… I got dibs on this gift idea)!
