I would suggest not to buy a set. in 99.99% of the cases you will end up with more than one knife that you’d never use. Or knives with very similar designation. Either way, you’re paying for something you don’t need.

The minimum set which covers 99% of home cutting is:
3-4″ paring/peeling knife;
6-12″ chef’s knife
8-12in serrated bread slicer.

After that you can add boning knife if you work with bony meat, poultry. BTW, boning knives are not the same as meat cleavers, i.e. not designed to chop through the bones, but to work around them.

Don’t believe all the marketing BS that good kitchen knives have to be forged, and have full bolster and tang. None of that is true. E.g. Stamped Globals are much better performers than most of the forged mainstream kitchen knives. katana swords and bowie knives are not full tang, yet they can cut through armor and leather, so I really doubt you need more strength than that. Bolsters make sense only on narrow boning knives to protect your hand from slippage, but on other wider knives blade choil area does the job, bolster just makes sharpening a nightmare.

Avoid both, Cutco and Furi knives. Both are real junk metal knives, except one is really outrageously priced, Cutco. Both have rusting issues, can’t hold the edge worth a dime and both have very misleading marketing.

Forschner knives will be your best bet. They’re made of the same X50CrMoV15 steel. hardened to the same 54-56HRC as Wusthofs and Henckels and many other mainstream kitchen knives, but cost half the price or even less.

Alternatively, you could look into Japanese kitchen knives, but those are much harder blades, which means both, longer lasting, thinner sharp edges and more difficult sharpening

I recently had to clean a LOT of grease in my new house (I don’t think the previous occupants ever cleaned). I pretreated with vinegar – let that sit for a bit, then used citra-solve (I think that’s what it’s called?). Citra solve is basically citrus oil. It’s supposed to be diluted, but there was so much grease I mainly used full strength.

Also, you may want to scrape off a layer with a putty knife (yuck). That’s what I had to do first. Scraped right off after the vinegar pre-treat.

• Clean up the clutter. You’ll be surprised at how much space this frees up.  If you have a computer in the kitchen area, put the tower under the desk and the printer in a cabinet overhead.

• Thoroughly clean your cabinets. Cleaning wood cabinets doesn’t have to be a major project.  We always use wood soap to clean the surfaces.  Wood gets darker with age and just by being in the kitchen.  Cleaning the surfaces can take years off your cabinets.  This is actually like getting all new ones since they will look new again.
• Another inexpensive and easy thing you can do is install new knobs on the drawers and new pulls on the doors.  Once your cabinets are really clean this also achieves a new look.  If you have painted cabinets, you don’t have to repaint. The new hardware will give the impression of new cabinets.

• Changing the accessories in your kitchen is wonderful way to give your kitchen a new look.  Think of a theme that you like. Is it Fat Chef Bistro or comfy farm kitchen pattern?  Do you prefer modern day sleek?  Think of complimentary colors and your interests.  A new canister set and floor mat in your chosen theme can work wonders giving your kitchen a whole new look

• New curtains are a way to change the look in a kitchen and making this change is also very inexpensive.  The color should compliment the color you’ve chosen for your accessories. If you have a dark print or plaid or stripe now, then make your change to a much lighter and brighter shade. A linen look with a border that compliments the primary color of your accessories or a white or light background with a fruit or vegetable print border that, again, picks up the main color in your accessories are a couple of ideas that can give a fresh new look to your kitchen. 

• A decorative pot hanger is another way to change the look of a kitchen.  It adds a designer touch to your surroundings.  It also is a great way to free up storage space.

• One way to give your kitchen décor a new look is with a decorative wall clock or kitchen oriented wall plaques.  Pick things that are in keeping with your interests that are also kitchen/dinning oriented.

Any or all of these ideas can be accomplished with a minimum amount of effort.  They will certainly give you a new looking kitchen without breaking the bank or even breaking a fingernail.

Kitchen and cooking knives come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small garnishing knives to heavy cleavers and choppers. The only problem is they all have different purposes and work better with certain foods, so it is important to choose the perfect kitchen knife to suit all of your cooking needs.

Choosing a Kitchen Knife

Because everyone has their own cooking and cutting preferences, there really isn’t one knife that is the best for every kitchen. You will want to choose a knife that works best on the types of food you use in your home, such as vegetables, breads, meats, etc.You will also need to choose between a straight edge and serrated edge knife, since they perform very differently from one another. A straight edge is great for cutting soft items like tomatoes, since it has a very sharp edge that can slice through almost anything. A serrated edged knife actually works like a small saw, and is ideal for cutting bread with a sawing action without squishing the food.

Buying a Kitchen Knife

When looking to buy a kitchen knife, you will want to look for individual pieces rather than knife sets. Although it can be more expensive this way, it is well worth the price to purchase a top-quality knife. In order to ensure you are buying a knife that will last for years, you will want to purchase one made out of stain-resistant, high carbon steel. Although they do require regular maintenance, they are the best of the best and will provide a very sharp blade that will last for years to come. You will also want to look at how the handle is attached, since knifes that are only glued into the handle can break very easily. Instead, buy a knife where the blade extends all the way down the handle, and is covered by the handle and held in place. Breaking the blade is nearly impossible, so you can rest assured your knife will last as long as you would like.

Types of Kitchen Knifes

There are all types of kitchen knifes to choose from, so you will need to pick something that works best for your specific cooking needs. The chef knife is one of the most popular and versatile kitchen knifes available, since it consists of a large sharp blade that can cut through almost anything. The wide blade is great for chopping, slicing, and even dicing, and the curved shape makes it possible to rock the knife back and forth making it easy to use. A paring knife is like a small garnish knife, and is ideal for small tasks like taking the core out of an apple. It has a very small blade and is usually best for cutting small items. A bread knife is another popular knife found in many homes, and usually consists of a very long serrated blade. It is ideal for sawing through bread and other soft items, but doesn’t work well for chopping hard items like vegetables.

Caring For Your Knifes

Like most other items in your kitchen, your knives must be cared for. Straight edge blades need to be sharpened on a regular basis, while serrated knives actually never need to be sharpened. You will want to make sure and take care when using the knife, since hitting it down on a hard surface while cutting can actually dull the blade. Instead, you should use a soft cutting board to prevent any damage from occurring. Knives should be washed by hand and dried immediately, and should never be put in the dishwasher for cleaning. The detergent can actually dull the knife, and they can even become rusted depending on the type of metal the knife is made out of. Taking care of your kitchen knife is important, especially if you purchase a high quality knife. It will help the knife to last longer and keep the blade sharp, and make it the perfect companion for your kitchen.

I think you are correct in that you are smelling sewer gas. You have an air leak somewhere. Or you have lost a loop seal, though that is much less likely. And it may be the sewer roof vent is plugged. I have a 3br/2.5ba house. I live by myself. I rarely use the downstairs half-bath. I have to remember to put water down the half-bath sink every once in a while to keep the loop seal intact to prevent sewer gas from backing up through the sink. Water evaporates out of loop seals. It could be an air leak anywhere on the downstream side of any loop seal, but most likely where the toilet mates with the pipe in the floor. If the clamps are loose enough so the toilet can rock even if only a little bit you can not feel when it moves, it will eventually work the wax out of the sealing surfaces and leak air, but usually NOT water. This part of the pipe below the toilet is larger in diameter than the toilet itself, so the water just runs down the insides of the pipe, which has no pressure behind it to leak out of the leaking wax seal. Gravity keeps the water moving past the leak. The water has no reason to turn sideways to get out of the leaking seal. As you use the shower, you put water down the drain, which if the roof vent is plugged or restricted in some manner, will raise the air pressure in the sewer, and force air out of the leaking wax seal. So, bottom line, I think you have two problems which combined to cause your odor problem, a restricted roof vent and a leaking wax seal under the toilet.

There are small light-weight camping/backpacking mess kits that all fit a small pot and it’s lid, usually containing eating implements, the handle folds over and secures the lid to the pot.

You should also take a decent first aid kit. An injury in the wild can be devastating and greatly threaten your chances of survival.

If you are going to take a flashlight, take one that is a windup or charged by shaking. That way you don’t have to worry about the batteries going dead and leaving you in the dark.

Take a hat and gloves. Sunburn is nasty and splinters are nasty.

Take a good space blanket (as opposed to a tarp). They can be used as a tarp, can be used as a blanket and can also be used to distill water from the sun.

Instead of MRE’s you might want to consider freeze-dried foods, which are more lightweight and come in a wider variety of entrees.

Make sure you take an extra pair of socks or plan on rinsing your socks out every night. Ask any experienced hiker and they will tell you to take care of your feet and they will get you where you’re going.

you would be wise to take a small water filter or water purification tablets. You might not always be able to build a fire to heat and purify the water, so a back up plan is always good.

If you are going to try and live off the land, then I would recommend you take a small guide to the edible wild plants in that part of the country. You can set small snares and catch small wildlife, but be aware of any hunting laws in your area. Even fishing without a license can get you into trouble with the local game warden.

Separate rooms in a home do not have to match and you can play with the fixtures within rooms. They just need to be within the same family of styles. For instance if you are choosing a contemporary look, you would not want to choose a victorian style regardless of the finish. We have stainless kitchen appliances, brushed nickel knobs, handles, and faucets, but deep bronzed drops over the island and chandelier over the breakfast area. Your bathrooms definitely don’t have to match your kitchen choices so have some fun.

Set 1 has 5″ partoku, 7″ santoku, and 9″ scalloped knife, but no chef’s knife, the most widely used knife you’ll find. The scalloped knife is great for bread, and will have various other uses down the road. I don’t like the feel of santoku and partoku knives – I rarely use them. They require you to slice in a manner that I don’t feel is comfortable.

Set 3 looks interesting, but the silver handles become a bit slippery with use.

Set 2 looks the best to me, with the included 8″ chef’s knife. The rest of the set is solid, but the steak knives are gimmicky. These are high quality, ergonomically balanced, high-carbon steel knives. They are reasonably priced, and at home, they’re accessible in the storage block – no digging in the drawers.

I think you’ll be happy with set 2.

First let’s remember that we usually dream to solve conflicts; if something hurts or is bothering us, we dream to settle it, so we can continue to sleep, and so we can have more peace in our waking hours.

Soooooooo:
Dad has an injury to the brain, the mind, that which is revealed as in, can be seen through glass, if one is allowed to get close to the pane/pain. (It is not an accident that you used the term, “real enough to cut through glass,” because you wanted his CLEAR, READABLE, SEEABLE, brain/mind back. (I’ll deal with no one saying anything, in the context below.)

Dad is never going to get better, and this hurt you, upset you, so you resolved the conflict by “writing” your dream, so that he would be better. You NEEDED him to be better.

Your family and you become silent on the way HOME. That is, “What is home without father?” Home was a place that included him, but now it won’t, because your momentary need to make him okay isn’t working in the dream, and that is unspeakable.

You have made him better, but have you really? The silence is the loss of your father, telling you that you haven’t really resolved the conflict; it is still nagging at you. Silence, as in death; silence, as in brain injury that affects the ability to speak coherently or at all. Silence, also, as in absence of sounds, the sounds your father would have been making, had he survived whole and intact.

It’s eery, because you sense that HOME will NOT BE HOME, if your dad doesn’t recover, and it’s clear you wanted him to, because for a few beats there, you did make him recover.

Again, overwhelmed with happiness, but disturbed; you are not CAPABLE, as HARD AS YOU TRY to change the reality; you try, you become happy, but the TRUTH that he didn’t recover is running the dream, is facing you in ways that you can’t change by “writing” the dream the way you want it to be.

He leaned against the island. I don’t know what an “island” in this context means, but he’s no longer DAD; he’s a man with a brain injury, LEANING on the family, barely able to stand straight in life, as the dad you NEED him to be, the dad you recognized and loved.

He watches out the window. He is no longer in the life you are all now sharing; he is left out. The world is OUTSIDE his brain, his usual way of thinking; he can’t participate; he is left only to see, to watch. (This is really sad.)

This sadness leads all of you to deal with the situation in your own ways and to realize that you are ALL now SEPARATE from your dad (as well as vulnerable to illnesses and injuries among yourselves), that your lives with him will never be on the same level, as they had always been. His brain injury has separated him from all of you, and you become, for awhile, isolated from each other in trying to cope with this new, sad reality.

And, yes, dear YaYa, I’d have bawled my eyes out, also. Your dream started by your being able to fix the situation, but moved on to the truth of the unfixable injury, and ended with you and your family having to come to isolated and lonely terms with change, deep sorrow and loss.

My deep-felt condolences.

Yeah, you should turn the power off before working on it.

Is it one of the sockets or is the entire fixture hanging? If it’s a socket and you can see how this attaches, you may be able to fix it if it’s a matter of a loose screw or something like that. If the bracket broke, you’re probably just better off getting it fixed or replacing it.

If it’s the entire fixture, it may be loose. If that’s the case, you’ll probably just need to tighten the screws that attach the fixture to the electrical box.

Kitchen remodeling is definitely the most popular new fad today. The majority of us spend a large amount of time in our kitchen, whether cooking, or eating at the kitchen islands bar. Not only do you need to spend at least an hour preparing family meals every evening, you also need to get breakfast ready, do clean up, and pack lunches. Since this room sees lots of traffic and many people pop in and out looking for small snacks throughout the day, you need to make this room as attractive as possible!

If you are interested in a complete room remodel, then go for it! It might be a time consuming process but if you want an entirely new look, then there is no reason not to try for it. Many kitchens suffer from a lack of light. Large windows open up the room and make it a much more enjoyable place in which to spend time! However, if you would prefer to avoid expensive contractors and eating out in the garage for six months, here are a few other ideas to spruce up your kitchen design without the construction!

1) Add color! A safe color rule to remember is 60:30:10. This ratio should represent how you use color in your kitchen. The majority of the color (60) should be for your walls and cabinets. The next amount (30) could be the color you use for your floor and the (10) represents the color of your counter tops or perhaps a special tile motif on one of your walls. You will love the vibrancy a striking color scheme can bring to your kitchen.

2) Add counter space. Have you ever considered installing a kitchen island? Kitchen carts are also a fantastic option for those who do not have much room for a permanent island. You will never have to stress out about counter space or storage areas ever again with this convenient addition. Add a few kitchen bar stools and you have a casual dining space as well!

3) Add “green” to your kitchen! Consider energy efficient lighting and green-recycled glass countertops. Not only will you feel great about helping save the environment, you will also love the new look!

Generally going darker with the trim closes the rooms in a little. We have a double brick bungalow built in the same era and the rooms are very compartmentalised and anything to open it up and make it flow better is good. We had different colours for different rooms and it looked wrong. Then we painted the whole thing with a very neutral colour (Dulux Hogbristle half strength) and did the archetraves and skirting boards in a bright white (Dulux Fair Bianca Half strength) and it looks fantastic. We have hardwood archetraves and windows and skirting boards but decided to keep them white. We have floorboards and timber mantles and that’s enough timber to colour it up. It looks fantastic. It flows well from room to room and has a very fresh feel. And we can dress it up with whatever we like (furnishings, art work etc) and it looks great. But in saying that, you’re the one who has to live with it so you need to do whatever makes you happy. My sister has dark timber archetraves and skirting boards and internal doors and I hate it. Maybe visit friends and see what other people have done and whether you like it or not. Remember if you get it wrong you’re the one who has to repaint it so don’t rush in if you’re not sure because it’s a lot of hard work and paint is expensive.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

The powder coated metal would be stronger by far. There’s no telling what’s underneath the chrome. Also, vinyl laminate is a hard, smooth surface. But not as durable as formica.

It’ll start hurting when the doc goes in to get that flour out! That’s the dumbest suggestion I think I’ve ever heard.

Rinse it with plain water, wrap it, and go to the emergency room. You’ll probably need stitches or a good butterfly bandage. It won’t hurt until the initial shock wears off, of infection sets in (whichever comes first).

Do you want to use these towels or are they just for decoration? It’s hard to find, in fabric stores, the kind of fabric they make most kitchen towels out of, nice absorbent stuff. People just don’t sew towels much these days. You used to be able to, and sometimes still can, buy towelling off a bolt but it isn’t too exciting for colour as a rule. Haven’t seen it for years. I think you might just have to go to local fabric stores and see what they have that will work and is the right colour. It should be 100% cotton if you want to use the towels, and linen of course is a fine dish towel fabric if you can find any suitable and don’t mind the price. Linen/cotton blend is fine too. A waffle weave cotton would be great if you can find a 100% cotton one. Just stay away from any synthetics unless they have some fabulous new thing like an absorbent microfibre. Synthetics don’t usually absorb water and are frustrating to use as towelling.

I feel your “control” pain. All the stock in the home center stores are either a high dollar “push in” style bulb or the candelabra style.

Here are some great choices from an old established business, relatively, close to you.

It’s not a good idea to have a high-carbon steel knife anymore, especially because they can oxidize and discolor acidic fruits and vegetables, leaving traces of black on everything. If you REALLY need the knife or have sentimental attachment to it, I would say a plastic scouring pad and some lava soap would do the trick, but if you don’t, i’d hit the local williams-sonoma for a nice Wusthof french knife, or if you want to be fancy, a Kyocera ceramic knife that won’t oxidize anything.

DATELINE: SOUTH BOSTON, MA…

Boston area residents know that summer isn’t over yet but many are singing the mid-summer blues as they face ever-increasing energy costs, including the cost of keeping cool.

John Wood, founder and CEO of Hub Plumbing & Mechanical, offers some cost-effective ways to reduce the load on your air conditioner. Notes Wood, “Some of the steps that you can take now will not only help curb your current electric bill but will also help control your heating costs this winter.”

Don’t make your air conditioner work harder than it has to  – warm air entering through cracks around window and door frames, electrical outlets, and attic doors all keep your air conditioner’s compressor running longer, costing you more.

Taking the following steps now will help reduce both air conditioning and heating costs:

·                Check for air leaks around doors and windows

·                Use caulk, insulation, or weather stripping to seal air leaks to reduce drafts

·                Add attic insulation

·                Insulate duct work

Year round energy savings can be achieved with the use of a programmable thermostats for cooling and heating. An empty house or apartment doesn’t need to be kept cool all day. Even many newer window air conditioners have timers that can be set to cool things down in time for your arrival home from work.

Ceiling fans should also be used year round. During warm weather the ceiling fan should be set to turn in a counter-clockwise direction. The breeze created by this airflow creates a wind-chill effect that makes you feel cooler.

When it’s hot outside, don’t create more heat inside:

·                Minimize the use of heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day, such as a clothes dryer or dish washer

·                When cooking use an outdoor grill, a microwave, or a toaster oven to avoid heating up the kitchen by turning on a full sized oven

·                Minimize the use of heat producing light bulbs –replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents that produce less heat

·                Close shades, blinds, or drapes on windows that in are in full sunlight

Both central air conditioning systems and individual room air conditioners need to be kept in good running condition for maximum efficiency:

·                Change or clean filters at least once a month

·                Keep coils clean and dust free

·                Make sure you have a proper sized unit – a unit that is too big lowers the temperature without running long enough to reduce the humidity to a comfortable level resulting in a cold clammy feeling

Consider investing in a central air conditioning system if a number of your individual air conditioning units need replacing. A central air conditioning system is more expensive to purchase up front but it can result in lower energy costs over time.
