Living Life In It’s Natural Organic State
Just visited my daughter in Arlington, VA last weekend. The purpose of the trip was to help her out with her new house so I was doing the Dad thing with plumbing and landscaping which really turned out well. But in the course of things I noticed that her culinary life could also take a […]
So a few weekends ago Di was over and while we were chatting I was peeling some vegis with my paring knife. Was distracted and broke off the blade (was diving into a whole turnip). Should have known since it was chatting with her that caused the distraction leading to the thumb slicing when sharpening […]
A good quality and sharp paring knife is a must have for every kitchen. This is typically the workhorse for those jobs that demand a smaller knife…Chores such as peeling, deveining shrimp, coring, cutting mushrooms in special ways (we’ll put this up on video feed when available)..anyway those sorts of things.

Every kitchen has to have a good quality rubber spatula. If you don’t have one or yours is a ragged edged, scrapped up, falling apart affair consider replacing it.
As mentioned in previous posts, for the freshest, best tasting coffee buy whole bean and grind what you need right at the time when you’re brewing your coffee. I really don’t find this to be a chore..just load the beans into the coffee grinder, replace the cover and press the on button.
