Or just learn how to use your knifeÂ* ;-)

First tip, keep your fingers tucked under and let the wide part of
the
blade ride on your knuckles.

This is highly amusing...you have to give cooking instructions to
Johnny Child?

I'm always open to learning something new about cooking! Normally I
do about 95% of the cooking
here. But with my foot the way it's been my wife has had to step in.
She's learning it's not all
that easy a job! It's a good exercise in mental PERT!

There are a few of those TV cooking guys who do pretty knife work.
Jeff Smith (Frugal Gourmet) was a great knife guy. I learned lots of
things from watching that show. Too bad he was a pervertÂ* ;-)
I have some Zwillings that even Harry would be proud to have.

Zwilling is a knife brand, eh? I have a nice set of kitchen knives I
use. They weren't that expensive. I do keep them sharp. My favorite is
a santoku I use on veggies. When we lived in the Jax area, I found an
itinerant knife sharpening guy who visited his restaurant customers in
his van. I stopped him once and he gave me his cell phone number so
that I could call and find out where he'd be on a given day. I'd take
all my knives in and while I was having lunch in his client's
restaurant, he'd do a great job on my knives.

Good grief.Â* You can't even sharpen a knife?
No wonder you are so in favor of government dependency.

I sharpen them these days, but back then, the knife sharpening guy did a
superior job and for cheap.
