I'm making dumplings in hot & sour soup for me and my partner this afternoon, and this evening we'll be having mushroom and capsicum pizza. Nothing fancy like what folks here are doing, but I'm no cook.
Takeda nakiri and Itinomon gyuto were used...my nakiri loves harder veggies but has some trouble with king oyster mushrooms...I suspect my sharpening is at fault there.

He does look a lot like an Airedale...but he's Irish terrier through and through.

And I did a sous vide short rib (burgundy glaze, yadda yadda) with a buttermilk potato and ginger-lime carrot purée. Kicked off with a 2004 taittinger compte de champagne, with a '09 seasmoke 'ten' to round it out.
Knives used:
Gesshin 240mm hide blue #1 honyaki
Masamoto 300mm KS gyuto
Kochi 150mm honesuki

Ah- hard to tell on scale. He sure looks like and aire in that pic, but I like the Irish terriers too- a bit more scrappy. I currently have a brace of wires- wouldn't recommend getting a brother/sister combo when it comes to terriers, but love them still. Now, back to food. Did I mention the scotch that we finished out with?
I did pantry/fridge food tonight. I had a cauliflower and celery root borderline going bad, so I ran down to the store, got some ny strip on sale and made a cauliflower/celery root puree with steak. Then I opened several bottles of wineAnd by several I mean very several.

We had friends over and they wanted to cook. She is a wonderful cook but like many, oblivious to the knife world. Not wanting to look like a obsessive knife nut, I left her to it,she assured me they would be carefully used. I saved the kato from the dishwasher twice, found my kitaeji shig petty bathing in lemon juice, and to top it off, she deemed the kato to be the perfect pork crackling slicer. Pretty much whole length of blade chipped. Cool. I've sharpened half out but a few spots I'll leave, don't want to lose a good half years use for the sake of a few chips! Anyway, lesson learnt. Do not use my knives, period.
