onions

my dad complimented me yesterday on my onion cutting skills. he said i looked like a pro.
joy of joys! a pro!
first of all, this goes to show what a nice sharp knife can do for those who are trying to cook well. it goes a long way. dull knives are extremely annoying.
second, this goes to show that his affirmation also went a long way. i think affirmation is my love language.
and third, thanks food network. i saw, i learned, i conquered.
oh the joys of the ordinary life.
