Just a little Public Service Announcement for all of you out there that cook. For the love of knives, cutting boards, fingers and food out there everywhere, Sharpen your knives! A dull knife is a dangerous knife. Really, it's not that hard. Find a knife sharpening place. Go to a local butcher and ask them if they will do it for you. My local farmers market has a little stall that sharpens them for you. And it's usually reasonably priced. If you are intent on doing it yourself... Have at it! Just do it!
Oh... and that thing in your knife block or the drawer to the left/right of the sink, the thing that looks like a blunt screwdriver with a handle on it? That's called a steel. Slide your blade on it a few times, Every time you use your knife! It really does work... it keeps you knife sharper, longer.
Go on.... try it!
Ok... PSA out!
Cheers.

This is the truth. Anyone who's ever attempted to dice an onion or god forbid a potato with a dull knife knows what happens next.
VERY good advice! Greg is my go-to-guy for knife sharpening...I'm afraid I would end up in the ER...given my history! :)
It's so nice to hear from you!!! xoxo
Bert: Amen brother...I have the scars to prove it!
Jen: Great to see you to love, Hope all is well!
