Knife Skills

For Christmas my mom gave me a nice knife and Jens and Anne gave me a "knife skills" class to learn to use it. I am ok with using a knife but I love taking classes on things. Anyways, I guess I am the only person that actually would take a class on how to use a knife because it was canceled again. I am disappointed. I think I will just go and buy some baking dishes with my gift certificate instead of taking a different class.

Knife skills sounds more like a self defense class.

[livejournal.com profile] misanthropoet ask me if it was like "switchblade" class. I would take that too!

This place offers a class that teaches stuff like "Tactical Ramming Techniques" and "Bail Out /Vehicle Commandeering/ Break Out Drills".

Their website is completely blank for me but that sounds way cool. Where are they located? (:

The site has a lot of Flash animation and stuff. They are in Florida

Yeah, it's too flash for my system.

Florida? Gah. I'm not going all the way to Florida!

Don't blame you. I've never even been to Florida and I don't want to go there. Hell, southern New Jersey is a trip in my book

I actually liked southern NJ. Lotsa trees. Or maybe that's the middle.


I drove up to Atlanta, and that's as far as I was willing to go.

LOL.

I would take classes on those things.

When is the next class? I'll sign up!

They aren't doing it anymore! I am so sad.

Why not? That is pretty funny.

omg I would so love to have a basic cooking skills class with you.

I need [livejournal.com profile] frozenrhino to teach me how to season things. Everything I make is too salty or completely bland.

I think I need a bigger cutting board. Mine is about the size of two mouse pads and that just isn't enough room.

I think I'll take you up on that. I have this fear of cutting things.

I would actually like to learn how to chop like those fuckers on the Food Shows. All BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM-VOILA!

LOL

I would like to be able to cut so I don't cut myself.

My friend [livejournal.com profile] minasithil has a culinary degree. Maybe we could put together our own class. I'd love to learn the fancy tricks with a knife.

Fancy knife skills are awesome!
