It&#8217;s a lovely new chef&#8217;s knife. See how pretty it is?<\/p>\n<p>About six weeks ago, Anita discovered that she loves my guacamole. (It&#8217;s a very simple recipe, but she insists that it&#8217;s &#8220;Will&#8217;s Special Guacamole&#8221; &#8212; so sappy.) She craves it constantly, and always brings home avocados from the store. Making the guacamole is easy, but Anita likes the onions diced small. And my best knife was a serrated knife.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To cut the onions, I would move it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyricsdepot.com\/cake\/italian-leather-sofa.html\">back and forth<\/a>. It&#8217;s such a simple machine, I don&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cakemusic.com\/\">have to use force.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nevertheless, the serrated edge would mash  <img src='http:\/\/bakkerbugle.com\/apps\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/knife.jpg' alt='Knife' \/>the onions rather than dice them, and leave some parts held together by a bit of translucent skin. Enter my new chef&#8217;s knife, and voila: Dicing Bliss.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an aspirational purchase. In other words, my cooking skills are not worthy of this knife. I need to learn <a href=\"http:\/\/ie.youtube.com\/watch?v=fw4Fm7E7juU\">how to dice properly<\/a>, first. I must become One with the knife. I will not control the knife, but I will be responsible for what it cuts. I will wield the knife when my thoughts are pure and full of beauty. Only then will I mince the garlic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anita bought a gift for me, and Cindy brought it in her luggage. It&#8217;s a lovely new chef&#8217;s knife.
