If you own a Kitchenaid do yourself a favor and pick up a cheese shredder attachment. I'm kicking myself after all these years using a box cheese grater. You can shred a block of cheese in around 10 seconds. This will make grating 6 blocks of cheese a breeze for mac and cheese. A Christmas gift that I'll end up using. 

But can it make a three cheese blend?

Only if you're a 2 time personal chef!

Good Lord that website. It looks like something from the horse-and-buggy days of the World Wide Web.

Is chef mike different than chef michael?  Mike can cook for my Super Bowl party, but if I’m entertaining my boss and his wife, I should ask for chef Michael?

@Ozzie_Isaac you haven’t weighed in on how his food is, what has been your experience ?

I haven't tried him yet. I have been very very very tempted to hire him for dinner party.  I might just have to pull the trigger this year.

I like how he does double duty as a chef and entertainer.  I assume he takes requests for demos on making a three cheese blend or cutting a pizza into ten (give or take) pieces.

"To busy to cook?"  OMG, that jumps off his page at me and makes me cringe.  I may fat-finger something, sometime, but I wouldn't leave it up all this time, even if I were a Tuscon Personal Chef.

I will go calm my OCD now.

Your OCD is going to hate that you misspelled "Tucson".

And now it is too late to edit your post so that error will be preserved for all to see forever

Sometimes you are just too busy too read the extra "o".

Edit: and correctly order 'S' and 'C'.  😂. Thanks for pointing that out @Botch

I love it.  Hard to get that Geo-cities vibe with modern HTML coding.

I ordered a reverse osmosis system, should come in today with an extra bladder tank.  Plan is to put system in shop and have a tank at both points of use.  I want to be able to do a deionized water rinse as a last step washing cars (or things that will be painted).  That water is also necessary for batteries, cooling systems, solutions for mad chemistry experiments, etc.

How do you know he didn’t mean “Tuscan personal chef?”

I was thinking Tuscany...great Italian food.  People there are Tuscans.

Tuscany, the land of many cheese blends.

Yes, and held in the highest esteem are the "cheese mixologists".  Rumors have it one of the mixologists in the early 18th century actually mixed 5 different cheeses.  Grated.  F*ckin' amazingballs.

That would make sense, as I think that's also where people first learned how to cut a pizza with a pair of scissors:

I like how he emphasizes starting with a clean pair, obviously.

I call bs.  Scissors add the proper "terroir" which is essential to Tuscan pizza, especially with complex blends of two or three cheeses.

This is how (and why) I cut all of my frozen pizza rolls.

Perhaps he did mean for an Italian (Tuscan/Tuscany) not Arizonan reference. Still misspelled it either way tho yes?

The High Lords of Mixed Cheeses not only mix 5 different cheeses, but they use a combination of fine and coarse shredded cheese.

This is worth the watch.  They interview him half way through the skit, and he explains how this happened and that he knows is was rediculous (3min 40sec)

I can only hope Chef Mike knows that he is a cheese whiz 'round here.

Great call.  I've been replacing all my other socks with darn tough over the last couple of years.

I am close to having a pair to make a warranty claim on.  It’s been years and lots of miles to get the that point.

Socks with a multi-year warranty?  Tell me more.  I am confident I walk super heavy because socks last me 6 months max before the first hole appears.

Lifetime warranty on their socks. Ship back to them or you can even exchange at REI 
Socks Guaranteed for Life - Our Lifetime Warranty – Darn Tough

But make sure that they aren’t irregulars. The warranty only applies to standard sale not factory seconds.

Good timing.  I bought a bunch of Thorlos in 1992, I still have two pair left but when I bought some replacements about five years ago, they all wore out before these last two, original pairs; Thorlo really cheapened their materials.  
Will give the Darn Toughs a try (and I think I still have a lifetime REI membership...)
