I'm happy, friend at church gave my wife a card at church today. She had written inside how she was praying this guy could help her that we're going to see. Put $100 inside, and told us to enjoy a Valentine's date on her and her husband. That's pretty sweet.

So I randomly scored these vintage high carbon French knives from an antique store this weekend for $24. They were dull as hell and I couldn't be certain of value at the time or the quality of the steel
. I have a three stone sharpener I was able to use on them once we got home and wow they are the sharpest knives I have ever used, anywhere. I keep trying to find veggies to slice just to use them again. Additionally it seems they sell for about 150 a piece or 300 for a set. Pretty stoked.

Sweet! And that's really the only 3 knives you need in a kitchen. It's fun to have more, but you don't need more.

This year for Christmas, my wife and I got a magnetic knife holder (not one that's wall-mounted, but one with a stand that goes on the counter).
That is a great thing to have!
I'm glad you're enjoying your air fryer. I've been on board with those for a while. I think I posted up on here a while back that I picked up a second one, which has now become our primary one.

Not sure I've seen one that sits on the counter. I've got 2 12" on the wall and knives I haven't used in years prolly. I alternate between a chef and santoku and use a paring paring, that's pretty much it anymore.

Yeah, against doctor's orders I'm trying some ahi in it tonight for the first time. I put a clear glass bowl with some of that Carli oil in the fridge Saturday night to see what happens, this morning I put a nice piece of ahi in it. Gonna see how it does at 400 for 2-3 minutes. Not expecting much, but I gotta see.

This is the one we got:

We have it parallel to one of the cabinets going back toward the wall, and it basically uses about five inches of counter space. Only assembly was putting in screws to connect the two pieces.

Let us know how the ahi turns out. We keep saying we're going to use it for bona fide "cooking," but honestly we use ours for frozen potatoes, appetizer-type foods, chicken patties/wings, etc., most often. Like last night, my wife made up some stir fry and we heated up the egg rolls in there. But my daughter uses it pretty much everyday to heat up something for the grandkids. Ours gets a ton of use.
