My Journey Through Life with my Knives by mtk1chef

My knife has a triple- riveted black handle and a 10 inch blade with a tang separating the blade from the handle. The blade is made of tempered high carbon-alloyed steel that keeps a long-lasting sharpness. I have thirty different knives, but the one that I use most is my ten inches chef’s knife made by Wusthor. 

The duties we have done together are endless. For instance, we cut and slice two hundred pounds of baby red potatoes, roasted potatoes, and fifty pounds of tomatoes, ice berg lettuce, and cucumbers for a house salad. My knife and I have learned different techniques and respect for each other along this journey.

Heavenly Places by Amanda Russ

Once I opened my eyes I realized that I was standing in front of a huge broad golden gate. As I approached this gate, which seemed taller than two tall buildings stacked up on each other and beyond reason, I noticed the perfectly designed art that had a sculpture of the finest creation known to mankind. It had designs that were shapes, curving, and little angels praying and dancing around clouds and figures of that nature. The masterpiece was beautiful. I reached out to touch this lovely gate and to my surprise it was warm. A fine golden gate like this would be cold, icy cold, I thought to myself. I looked around to see these beautiful clouds, unusual clouds matter of fact. The clouds somehow were life like, as if they had a mind of their own. For every movement the clouds made it seemed as if they were ballerinas, dancing, reaching out to give me a welcome hug. It frightened me at first, because I never encountered such lovely clouds that were so pure and bulging before. As if I wanted to leap and dive into them, they would catch me by observing my body figure and wrapping around me like a boxing glove.
