The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

We went to PF Chang's, in Annapolis for dinner. Not on our way home but I had to get a refill for my meds and the pharmacy at the hospital center already has it on file. Anyway, to get to the restaurant, we have to walk passed Sur La Table.

Being $50 off, this followed us home.

How many inches? Gary was using Wusthof. He gave that set to his daughter. He’s now using Messermeister.

While Miss Maggie and Gary were strolling on the nearly empty Hearst Beach, they ran into a lone fisherman. He was an older gentleman, a white tightly cropped beard under a broad brimmed hat and olive colored chest high waders protecting him against the cold Pacific surf. When Maggie crossed his path he looked at me and said “Wheaten?” I replied, with “You know your dogs.” He said he had one. He didn’t want a dog. But his kids gave it to him. He had that Wheaten for 17 years. Then we both conversed for a bit how great Wheatens are ... we agreed they are the best dogs in the world. He asked if he could pet Maggie and I naturally agreed. As he bent down Maggie stood up on two feet to meet him. He hugged and rubbed Maggie and she kissed his cheek and wiggled her little body against him. He gave her a final squeeze, stood upright and with tears welling up in his eyes he said “Thank You”.

My morning workout is movement along the Rhine river. Yesterday the sun rose over the "Seven Mountains" and I thought: It is wonderful to live where others go for holiday!

It's the 8" Chef's knife.

I’ve been considering the same knife. My most used knife is a 8 inch Global Chef knife, which is great...but pretty small in my hand. It’s also light, which makes butchering and things like butternut squash tough.

Nice knife! If anyone is considering a new knife, I highly recommend the Victorinox: https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Fibrox-Chefs-Knife-8-Inch/dp/B000638D32

We just bought it a few months ago, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Plus, at like $40-50, it's a steal.

We have (a version of) the referenced Wusthof knife, as well, which was gifted to us for our wedding. Both of the knives are my most used knives--I use them for nearly everything.

In the Messermeister lineup Gary had a choice of 8”, 9” or 10”. Gary went for the 9”. He wishes he had gone for the 8”. Good for You!

That's a good looking knife. I am thinking of adding another Chef's knife, as my old Wusthof somehow developed a small dent that I'm unable to straighten completely. I want to be able to examine a few and hold them before making a decision.

Oh, and Happy Friday, hosers!

Gary did considerable research on knives prior to purchasing. The primary ‘blade’ / cutting difference between an expensive Wusthof and a cheaper Wusthof or Victorinox is the cutting edge of the more expensive retains its sharpness longer than the less expensive. For Gary that’s not a big deal. Gary does like the idea of hand forged over machine made.

I think I’ll like a softer steel for the blade. The Global knives take forever to sharpen on my whet stones.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are wishing all a Good Morning from Solvang. If you haven’t been here, Solvang is this stupid town outside of Santa Barbara where the architecture and flavor of the town is of Copenhagen. A tacky tourist trap filled with ... well ... tourists. But Mary Lou found a good deal at the dog friendly Viking Hotel, so here we camped.

@smoke665: Yesterday in Los Olivos Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary were tasting wine at a small, off the beaten path tasting room. There was a couple there also enjoying passing the day sipping fine wine. After a spell I asked them where they hailed from ... “Alabama” he reported back with measurable pride. I asked if he knew you. He didn’t. He said he was too busy watching football to know everybody in the state. Lord only knows how someone from Alabama ended up in tiny tiny Los Olivos in the middle of nowhere.

Gary uses a ceramic rod, sharpens up nicely.

Gary will trade you his nine inch Messermeister for your eight inch Global.

I bought my Dad and Sister a couple of (I think) mid level Wusthoff. They neither sharpen easy nor hold an edge very long.
In fact I don't think they are Wusthoff.
Probably another brand.

Got 4 hours today. Buffer still down.
I Gotta call in later to make sure someone will open up at 5am tomorrow.

Going to hit the PO and then home.
