Naifu just means knife. Higonokami is the Master's Higo (not master as in someone important).

I know the expert considered the fanciful decorations meant a generic knife, I'm not familiar with the details I trust you to judge the quality of the blade which is what really matters. Surprisingly a couple of knives from a recently retired Living National Treasure are available http://www.chefknivestogo.com/doiblue2.html

Pizza pockets for Christmas dinner. Never made them before but I will again. They're really quite good. A friend gave us the pan and cutter tool.

Empanadas, we call that.

I'm positive Picasso was such a dirty old man, he would have loved to have two choppers instead of a single.

(For his Japanese erotic works, do a search for higa-e)

I thought they were called "diamond splitters" - a term from the trading desk

Well so they are. Sounds so much nicer. Thank you.

Best of all, Honey likes 'em, especially after coming in from the cold.

the trading desk

I received guided tours of the A'dam carbon work areas, noticed several high-heeled diamond splitters in the shop area at the front.
(Back when, I made a commission fee on sold rocks. I love kinky boots and bucks, not so much rocks)

Kill, Attack, go eat the big foot !

Lots of food over x-mas days.
Here some fish with mustard/lemon sauce and spinach-tahini-sesam.

 

[Groove T]

Here is thai soup with bitter cucumber, filled with grinded pork and the other things are swiss style Krautrolls, filled with a mixture grinded meat, carrots, celerie and so on.

I will do that again

@tomtt,

What percentage of Americans suffer Type 1 Diabetes?

 

[jacco vermeulen]

1 in 20, but that leaves 19 for pie.

 

[brianco]

Ta Jacco.

[Having impaired glucose tolerance I thought that my chances, due to pie, of developing diabetes was around 3.1415 (so on and so forth):1. So 20:1 is better odds eh?]
