What's the book on knife skills? My fingers would love me to improve my technique.

I bought it on a whim. The prepwork always slows me down while cooking though. I figured I could probably benefit from it. I'll let you know if its good.

For Christmas 2009, I gifted femdisco a knife-skills class at Whole Foods. She loved it and says it really helps cut down on overall prep time. Food processors work well too :wink:

Life by Keith Richards
Homicide by David Simon
Timbuk2 tool bag, so I can avoid the shoe bag full of flat head screwdrivers from now on.
Blue Oxford shirt
Bag full of drawing/officey stuff that will come in handy
Some cash

Definitely more than I have earned or deserve.

I'm disappointed you didn't mention my gift. :wink:

Got:
-Front and rear lights and a rack for my bike
-Books (Bourdain's A Cooks Tour, Sam Cutler's You Can't Always Get What You Want[i], [i]For The Love of Soup cookbook, Klosterman's 50 Questions For Insane Conversations
-12" LeCreuset iron skillet (would have been fine with a Lodge but my FiL is an over compensator-my parents are still married so I'll never understand this behavior)
-Random clothes and stuff I'll exchange for other random clothes
-Random stuff from Williams Sonoma and a WS gift card I'll exchange for other WS shit.
-My Amex bill (a real eye opener)

Got this for myself to be framed for my office (signed and numbered)

Got my wife some blang blang new ear-rang's and a sweet signed and numbered Russell Chatham litho. She also took advantage of her sister's 40% discount at Anthropologie and bought half the fucking store either for herself or as gifts. See aforementioned Amex bill.

Baby Bloor of course cleaned up real big.

I don't want any of the bots browsing this forum reporting your gift to our new overlords (Republican, Chinese or Other) - I'll post pics once I get them framed :shock:

I see you returned the favor.....

Sweet Guthrie print, dude.

Oh, and about that Amex Bill....anyone know any banks in the business of non-recourse loans?

I try to head off my wife at the pass and just toss the catalog before it can get in her hands. Its gotten better now that she doesn't work with a girl who was really into the store. Still, when I see an Anthropologie package come, I know she's dropped at least $50. At least. And its probably just a pair of socks and lip gloss.

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Tue Dec 28, 2010 7:46 pm

Incidentally, I randomly found the Guthrie thing while bidding on your stuff (it took me a while to get the Nixon set which is absolutely frightening), then lost it, got really fucking pissed and was ready to overpay for it. It randomly popped up again from somebody else and I scored it at a great price.

Even my grandmotherly, in her late 60's, mom got a sweater from Anthro--with the discount it was cheaper than Coldwater Creek or Chico's or wherever we might have normally got her something. Plus we hipped her up just a little bit.

Since my birfday is so close to it, Crimuh is never that big of a deal around me. Got a new laptop bag since the strap on my 6 yr old one was failing. A pretty sweet Fossil watch. A $50 gift card for Lowe's, $25 one for Home Depot. Bottle of Glenlivet Nadurra. Maybe one or 2 other things that escape recollection right now. For birfday tomorrow, I'm hoping for a new hip, a non-porcine artery for the jammed-up one, a massive drunkening at favorite watering hole, and a blow job. Not necessarily in that order.

It's for this conversation that I let Rabbit's $50 comment pass without a response.

I should be so lucky.
