I’m visiting my mom. She is a senior, so she doesn’t do much heavy lifting in the kitchen anymore. Most of her cleavers and other kitchen knives are dull or missing from my siblings’ raids. She does use this one “paring” knife. It was a bonafide butter knife. Dull! All I had is a DMT...

I was trying to determine which way I wanted to go. not sure why but I went with the Fissler. Stovetop version. I like how I can put it at the bottom of my pantry and forget about it, until I need it. the unit is perfect ALMOST. cooks great food, and my chicken noodle soup game is "up...

Bonito and Kombu and mushroom

Here is the brand I landed on.

right or wrong, this is a game changer for me. I have been watching Japanese Restaurant vids as a sleep aide. not understanding Japanese lulls me to sleep. I did notice they use a big giant teabag to make their dashi stocks. so I set out to find a home version. I hit up a Japanese grocery...
