One of my first internet knives. Great blade. I mean *great* but the handle was a bit weird. Right now it just sits at the bottom of my knife kit.

Hi Everyone,

I'm in my late 40's, after years in the Hotel industry I have decided to go back to school for a culinary degree. I'm excited and nervous. My goal is to have a small Inn/B and B that serves breakfast and lunch and then dinner a few nights a week. I have started a blog about daily lessons in culinary class. www.makingchef.com. I hope I can keep up with both the blog and lessons as well.

Welcome aboard. It is fabulous that you have made a passionate choice to change a career with one that you love. Best of luck. I too, had moved to Europe in 1996 from my native NYC and I have never been sorry.

Happy holidays.
