It seems my whole life I have heard about doing things "the right way." I have been more interested in doing something, rather than doing it "the right way." I understand that if you're jumping out of a plane there probably is a "right way" to jump out and pull the chord. In my 800 blogs over the past seven years, I have most likely blogged about this topic, but I thought you would be amused with this.
One of the snacks I bring with me when I Uber is some cheese that I cut up. It's not a lot, but it's a great quick snack to give me some energy. Each week, I cut up some cheese for the weekend and I put some cheese in a sandwich bag to eat on the road.
A few years ago I believe, my wife suggested I use a different knife to cut the cheese. Pictured below is I thought that knife and it's called a paring knife. (I've never heard the name before)
If you look closely towards the top on the blade side, you should be a able to see the spec of cheese. This was the knife that was used to commit the crime and I can testify that this is the knife I've been using for many years.
My wife explained to me that this is not for cheese, but I should use a butter knife to cut the cheese. I decided to check Mrs. Google and ask, "What do you cut with a paring knife and the answer was, "Apples, potatoes, garlic, onions, and coring tomatoes." (I have to look up what a coring tomato is, but it sounds scary.) My wife, as usual, was correct.
However, I asked Mr. Google, "Can you cut cheese with a paring knife?" His answer was, "If you don't have any cheese knives on hand, we'd recommend a small pairing knife for cutting firm to hard cheeses and a thin kitchen knife or butter knife for soft cheeses." It would appear that my wife is right again, but below is the picture of the block of cheese I am gnawing on.
I guess it really comes down to this: "Is this a hard cheese or a soft cheese?" I know it's not butter. Next week I have a big decision to make: what will I use to cut the cheese?
