Chop Chop

I have to say that I love to chop things. I am prefecting my onion chopping skills and today chopped a carrot for a macaroni salad. Chopping takes away stress and makes me happy. This is only the case when you are using a good knife. I am a Rachael Ray fan and recently purchased her knife by Furi. It makes me so elated to chop chop chop. I noticed a dullness in the knife after some use, and realized I needed a sharpener. Again I returned to Rachael Ray's website.

I purchased the knife sharpener and my knife is good as new. Happy chopping.

My chopping skills are very poor. Usually, the first thing I chop is my finger. So, my husband does the chopping at our house. I did recently invest in a used little mini chopper gadget that I plan to try out someday.

Chopping my fingers has become a family tradition. Sadly I need to find a way to keep my paws out of the way or they're going to start calling me 'stubby'.

The blade of a sharp knife will go where you want it; that of a dull knife will not. The sharper the knife, the safer it is to use. A dull knife won't cut; the most dangerous thing in the kitchen is a knife which is not quite sharp enough.

And by the way, Janet H., your chopping skills would probably be better if you had an opposable thumb. Your picture appears to indicate that you a feline person, not a hominid person. As such, you should stay out of the kitchen altogether until your food has been prepared, since moving feet, falling cans and other objects, etc. might injure your body (if not your self-esteem). You are, however, probably adept at ripping, gutting, and lacerating, all useful kitchen skills on occasion. Your forepaw pads can probably be used with the chopper you describe, but I would suggest letting the household hominids (of which I assume you husband is one) operate it except under controlled situations.
