[Sca-cooks] Knives

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I was recently laughed at by a friend for my collection of carbon 
steel knives - odd ones i've picked up here and there, over the past 
nearly 40 years. My favorite is my Sabatier with a wonderful rounded 
real wood handing and perfect balance that i've had since 1967. I'm 
not sure what the name of the type of knife is... the blade is about 
6 inches long, i think and quite a bit wider where the metal goes 
into the handle.

The corpse exuded the irresistible aroma of a piquant, ancho chili 
glaze enticingly enhanced with a hint of fresh cilantro as it lay 
before him, coyly garnished by a garland of variegated radicchio and 
caramelized onions, and impishly drizzled with glistening rivulets of 
vintage balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic oil; yes, as he surveyed 
the body of the slain food critic slumped on the floor of the cozy, 
but nearly empty, bistro, a quick inventory of his senses told 
corpulent Inspector Moreau that this was, in all likelihood, an 
inside job.
