lol. This one is a Sushi knife so it slices, rather than chops. Hopefully my client will share some video of it in use but I don’t want to use it before the client does.

A house I lived in 22yrs ago just hit the market and every Realtor in the Bay Area is blowing up my phone.

How do I get my telephone # out of the MLS association with this property?

Just outta curiosity…what do you think is the current ratio of dirt cheap drones and really expensive defensive missiles is in the Gulf region.

Thuya Burl is a very rare wood species. It grows in a tiny corner of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and nowhere else in the world. So rare that it’s only available when a storm knocks down an old tree.

Both blades are bright Nashiji finished 52100 Carbon Steel.

350 oven, 50/50 fat/flour. Stir every 15min till you get the desired result.

I’m making gumbo so Im shooting for brick-red. Which is about 20min after this pic was taken.

I’d be more inclined to celebrate if so many institutions hadn’t complied in advance because they wanted to.
