      Any ideas? I found this in the kitchen appliance area of Goodwill. Not sure what it is...


      Right now, purchase Ruby Red Grapefruit  (best season......are beautifully red inside)....put the squeeze on them and mix with Tito’s Vodka over ice. It will teach you what it is good for. 

      I can’t see the top of the squeezer cause the Handel is down. If it’s there......you have a great score.

      Some of the smartest people I know have no education - and I say that holding a university degree and having a spouse who holds several. My b-I-l, who never finished his university degree, is currently looking at selling a business he bought five years ago for 25 times his purchase price. Pretty amazing return on investment. Some of the best cooks out there have no formal training. When I asked about her background, one of the most talented Eggers in this place, @smokingal, stated she had no kitchen experience, save some time as a cashier at McDonal’s. I miss her posts. Just phenomenal - and self-taught to boot. 
      No argument about the education here. You can’t call yourself an engineer unless you are in fact an engineer. Even if you do engineers work. Doesn’t make you less of a person, but the title has meaning and should be respected. That’s all. 

      In my opinion you should not refer to yourself as a chef unless you are either accredited as one or have fulfilled the rigorous training under another for the appropriate time and are fully competent at that time to perform all the duties required of a chef. Doesn’t mean there aren’t great cooks that aren’t chefs. There obviously are. There are cooks that are better than many chefs. Any great cook I know would never refer to themselves as a chef unless they were in fact a chef. It’s a respect thing. People with gravitas show respect and they don’t need the title to speak for them. Carey is an accomplished cook and he probably wouldn’t walk into one of the fine establishments near him and introduce himself as a chef. I’d just bet I’m right. Unless he chuckled after the comment.

      Do you have to be certified to be referred to as an *assh*le? 

      Asking on behalf of a guy who everyone refers to as an *assh*le, and who’s been a practicing *ssh*le for some time, but who never had to go to *assh*le school, and never studied under another *ssh*le, because he was such a natural talent.

      Yes, I did buy them in a shaddy parking lot deal.  We send them out as client gifts this time of year.

      My tamale guy started making them yesterday at 8am.  Just finished a few hours ago.  Various packaging is due to temps.  Some are fully chilled, some are still hot.

      Pete, I get your point.  Sorry if I mislead anyone about the job that put me through college so I could ultimately become a software engineer with my chemistry degree.  Another job title that describes what I do, not what I was formally trained and certified as.
      I took no offense at you calling yourself a chef!  You make some mighty fine fixins!  Some people just like to argue.

      Okay- I did venture down the Takeda rabbit hole a few minutes ago.  Everything is sold out-perhaps the cloud of the Christmas season will clear and I will return to my senses before a restock.  
      Edit: If anyone has a link that has the above knives available, please shoot me a PM.  
      Not sure if this is what you are looking for. They are usually sold out of everything but currently it looks like they have a decent selection.

      Careful now...calling yourself a software engineer. I assume that you have been properly licensed by the State of Louisiana to engage in the practice of professional engineering (PE) in the field of PE Electrical and Computer: Computer Engineering.
      Like when being a chef, you have to have a certificate (or something else - a membership card, or a receipt of some kind - it's not quite clear) in order to be considered a chef or a software engineer or a barber.

      Well, I actually work on databases, not really software.  You could almost say I was a miner.  And I work for people out of state in Frederick County.  And these people don't care about professional licenses, they just care about what you can do for them.

      Neat. You probably know this already, but we have others on this forum that excel at shady parking lot deals. (@The Cen-Tex Smoker, I’m looking in your direction.)

      When I was a kid punks like you just took their toys and went home. You want to ruin the forum for everyone to avenge whatever perceived slight you suffered. Ever occur to you to look on the mirror and ask what your role is ?

      There was a guy here whose go-to was to insult someone’s cooking based on a photo also.

      He literally said “don’t you know we eat with our eyes?”, poorly paraphrasing one of his culinary hero
      He claimed he could essentially

      He was a certified *assh*le too.
