Cooking School - Day 6. A Straight Line...

...is the shortest distance between two points. And also essential for completing the classical knife cuts. And also completely and totally beyond my reach.

If what you want is a tiny perfect little parelellogram cut, I'm your girl. You want a cube or a rectangle? Go talk to someone else.

Practice. Practice. Practice, I know. But goddamn it's frustrating.

I cut potatoes for an hour and a half tonight, and nary a straight vertical cut. Even, consistent, straight across, but all skewed on the vertical axis.

So yeah. Bah. I'm frustrated, and tired of cutting potatoes.

In other news, I aced my food safety exam, so while I may always serve you slightly skewed vegetables, at least I won't poison you.
