How many of yall have taken a knife skills class, and would you recommend one or do you think just time/practice will help an average joe home cook?
I'm taking butchering classes next.
Oh shit! Townie's gonna kill rj!

mom gave it to me for Xmas last year.
it's pretty incredible for that style of food.
I know Sandra really well.
Also, where did your mom grow up?
yeah, didn't ally go to CA?
my mom grew up in small-town PA, north of Hagerstown, MD.
Both daughters did and I am on the board with Sandra.
I thought she was born in the US and grew up in Guatemala.
yes- that's where Sandra did (Guatemala); but you asked where my mom did.
