figuring out how to keep your knives sharp (there are many ways, of course) would “vastly improve your food and experience while cooking.” And it’s absolutely true.

The first thing is to not put them in a damned drawer.
Mine are in a knife block—one that keeps them on their sides and not resting on the business edge of the blade—and are hand-washed and returned to the block with each use.
I have some good Henckels boning knives that I’ve kept for more than 40 years.
And my large and small chef’s knives are both more than 30 years old.

They get honed and sharpened weekly.

Yup. My Henkel knives & cast iron skillets are central to my cooking experience.
Also, I consider recipes as suggestions of where to start - I’ve been cooking long enough to know what goes well together.

Too many blah people, knowwhatimean?

The governor of TN has pardon powers. He could easily commute this sentence without weakening his political position among the yahoos.

I have 3 skillets of different sizes, all iron, passed to me from my mom and they are now at least 65 years old and well seasoned. I also have 6 knives for food prep. They live in a wood block resting on the back side of the blade so the sharp edge stays sharp.u

I have a bunch of fancy knives these days, but long ago I was given a used Henckels parer that’s probably as old as your oldest, sure looks it anyway, and for literally decades I used a six-inch Ecko Forge carbon steel utility type as my main knife. Sharpened them on a coffee mug in the beginning. Still have and use both. They’re deeply patinated and year to year I never see a speck of rust. Use, wash, dry, back in the block. It’s not hard. I would let them out to pasture as honored retirees but I still reach for them regularly out of long habit. They were born to cut, you know? All they ask is a bit of maintenance and they’ll serve you well all your life. Makes me smile. We’re a tool-making species, and they’re the foundational tool.

Sounds suspiciously like a beet to me.

You need to wash them thoroughly before you eat them.

And then roast them in a moderately hot oven, mmmm

Look, I don’t want to appear to be advocating for violence against an elected official, but…

Republicans do it daily.

@mattinpa

I am familiar with the claw technique, young man. And the pinch grip. And I know the value of the mise en place. I don’t brag about it but cooking’s been a hobby for decades, and I consider myself at least a foodie

Possibly a gourmand…

[tena]

You know, there’s more of that every day than the hateful shit we hear so damn much about.

[mymy]

Certifiable much?

Do you pronounce that pee-can or pee-con?

[tena]

I love it. Thank you! I need it today too. hahahahaha Mr Tena doesn’t feel 100% and that’s always tricky.

Nobody’s a bigger baby than a grown man with a cold or tummy ache lol

Word. And he has taken such incredibly good care of me during my entire situation that I have to have the patience of a Martha.

That’s hilarious!

“we need to get back to 1958-style voting.”

Judging from the bio on his website, he was born around 1951, so all he knows about 1958 voting is that Blacks and Mexicans were routinely prevented from participating. Which is exactly what he wants.

To those accustomed to privilege, equality looks like oppression.

I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have been old enough to vote in 1958.
