When AF lines up with valentine's candy going 70% off. :mellow: :o
Hilarious! :lol:
(But my first thought was, "What does the Air Force have to do with Valentine's Day clearance candy?" :D

I always say something like that in my head on the "Has anyone..." threads!

We have this one, and it works on the big blocks of cheese. I have, and love, the pampered chef cheese knife, but my husband likes this one a lot better. It does sometimes cause the cheese to crumble, but I think that's a factor of costco semi-freezing their cheese, not of the blade itself.
Thanks!
That's interesting about the crumbling..ours doesn't do that.
Why are the cutco knives so expensive? $75+ for a cheese knife- ouch!
Yikes! I hadn't looked at the price.Guess it won't be on my birthday list after all!

We have both of these, but with dark handles.
The squarish one is our fave, more than the Nike-swoosh one
Looks like I've got an item for my birthday list...
Thanks!

Another word about the Cutco cheese knife. The cut-outs keep the cheese from sticking to the blade. The overall wideness keeps the knife from turning as you cut, giving very smooth, even slices.
I'm not voting against the other suggestion, as I've never tried them. But, I love my Cutco cheese knife, and use it for a lot more than just cheese! It's my go-to knife for all sorts of things.
Thank you for the information! It really sounds like something worth trying!

Cutco Cheese Knife.
Is there an echo in here? :D

Got a cuisinart?
Unfortunately, no. Thanks for the reply, though!
I have a few like this. They are wonderful with hard cheeses like cheddar, swiss, jarlsberg, etc. For wide blocks of cheese you can simply cut them into more manageable widths to slice. You avoid slicing down and making a "valley" in the cheese that way.
Thank you! I'll check into that.
It is a wire, but works great for the Tillamook at Costco.
Search on amazon....
Bellemain Adjustable Thickness Cheese Slicer - Replacement Stainless Steel Cutting Wire Included. You just set it to the thickness you want and then tighten into place. Thickness can be changed, but requires some effort to do so. The nice thing about that is, that it doesn't self adjust when you are trying to use it. Very sturdy and comes with a replacement wire. We use it all the time on the large blocks and haven't had to use the replacement wire yet.Thanks! It helps to know you have first-hand experience!

Thanks! I Googled it and it looks interesting! The thing is, I have knives sharp enough to cut the block, but I'd like something that would make it easier to get even slices.
-
We buy Tillamook cheddar in 2 1/2 lb. blocks from Costco, and wire cheese slicers don't last long when used on them. I'd love to find a cheese plane that would do the job, but it seems the ones that are readily available aren't wide enough. The block is approx. 3 X 31/2 in.
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

I like to slice mine first and then bake. Make uniform slices almost the whole way through, coat with oil & salt, bake like normal. My family prefers potatoes this way.
Mmmmm...that sounds delicious! I have a recipe that sounds similar--it's called Roasted Fan-shaped Potatoes, with the fan shape coming from that slicing technique. I think the recipe calls for sprinkling w/Parmesan, which makes lots of things even yummier! :drool5:

I pierce them w/a fork a couple of times, rub the skin w/olive oil and kosher salt, and bake them on a stone bar pan at 350 for an hour--longer if they're larger than average. Yum! :drool5:

Did any of you use Sun-In on your hair? I did. They even sold it overseas. My hair was always super dry because of that product!
Oh, yeah! My older, super-cool sisters used this on me when I was around 10. I thought I was something special w/those blonde highlights in my dark brown hair! :001_cool:

My dh is handy, too, and I'm very thankful! So is my next-door neighbor! She flagged him down at the end of our walk last Saturday and asked him if it would work to cut the legs off a decorative scrolly-thing she bought and have it just sit on its base. He said sure and that he'd do it for her. About 30 minutes later he was finished and she was super happy!

Dh and I had a fun, unplanned outing at lunch today! I was intending to put his Valentine's card on the kitchen table last night after he went to bed, but forgot. I felt bad about it (he had remembered to leave one--and candy!--for me before he went to work), so I drove to his office to deliver his card and some candy and just happened to catch him driving out to go to a thrift store over lunch! I parked my car and got in w/him and we headed to the store.
On the way there, we drove really close to the home of some friends of ours , so I texted the mom and said "just wanted to say hi--we're in the neighborhood." She texted back asking if we could meet her husband, their son, and her for a sandwich--their treat! So after the thrift store (where we scored new-with-tags $9 baseball pants for ds14), we met them at Jimmy Johns and had lunch and great visit!
Dh and I sent candy and a Panera card to ds21 and gave the other 3 kids candy, plus 2 got basketball trading cards and 1 got a LEGO Micro set. They were happy. And dh always brings home chocolate covered strawberries for me from a lady at work who sells them as a church fundraiser, so I have that to look forward to!

Thank you. It has been a hard month.
I'm sure that's a major understatement. I think of you and pray for you often, and I wish you enough grace and peace for each new day. :grouphug:

Your favorite flip flops
My favorite is when someone goes from hating homeschooling to loving it. My least favorite flip flop is when someone starts out loving homeschooling and ends up hating it.
I saw the "Your favorite flip flops" thread earlier today, and it was right under a post by ILiveInFlipFlops! It made me laugh!

What a story! I'm glad she got everything back!
What do you remember being surprised by in your youth?

So funny! For a while, I actually thought the BANDS were in the radio studio! I remember thinking one day that logistically that really couldn't be how it was done! Duh.
