This week is going to suck.
I work 52 hours in 5 days. Two 8-hour shifts and three 12-hour shifts. This is a lot for me in a row. I know many other people who do it on a regular basis, but I am not that type of person. I just hope that I have good days, where I'm not too busy. I also hope it doesn't snow which would make my commute stressful.
I finally bought a good knife block/set. I called Jamaal last night when I bought them:
Me: Knives are expensive.
J: Yeah, the knives you picked out [for our registry] were expensive.
Me: Do you mind if we have Martha Stewart knives?
J: I don't care what kind of knives we have.
For some reason I was very concerned about buying a knife set that had "Martha Stewart" stamped all over it. You can see it here. I used them today and they are awesome, especially compared to what we had before.
I bought knives from this blue light special at Sears. A guy was showing them off last Christmas (or the one before...?) and they worked really great when he showed them. I have never really liked them. The reason I dislike them is that they are serrated. Every single one of them. I like serrated knives for some things, but it is difficult to finely chop pecans with a serrated knife. Ultimately, I chopped an onion today and nearly my thumb, and I've never been more satisfied. I'll keep the old knives for cutting tomatoes and bread...but my MS knives are way way better! :D
I'm mad at Martha Stewart. She is very liberal and called Sarah Palin "confused and unintelligent"
ReplyDeleteWhy would you say that when you have fans from a diverse political range?
But that's good you guys now have good knives. Do you have a sharpener? We really need one as our Henkles are getting dull. (We also registered for expensive knives, but they are worth it!)
ReplyDeleteDo you really want me to go there Kayleen? I'm not a huge Sarah Palin fan. I'm not even a big Martha Stewart fan. But I agree with Martha Stewart. Or at least I should say that Palin's advisors have made her appear that way. I personally do not know the lady. We have not met.
