use the right knives when you cook please

i’m not kidding and i’m not being mean i’m watching these videos of people trying to cut like, carrots, and they’re using butcher knives, and i just… I cook a lot and I don’t own a butcher knife, I’ve never had one, I’ve never needed one. I don’t cleave through… bone like. please

like listen, this set is $18.99 with the coupon it has available right now. unless you do a lot of cooking in which case you’re not the target audience of this post you don’t need more knives than this like… please

from left to right: 

  • paring knife: it’s good for small cuts. deseeding a jalapeno, cutting up strawberries.
  • utility knife: allegedly these make cutting tomatoes easier. i don’t actually find cutting tomatoes difficult, so i don’t know. i use it mostly for trimming meat.
  • santoku knife: this is essentially a chef’s knife with a straight blade. it’s good for veggies. 
  • chef’s knife: i use a chef’s knife for almost everything. it can chop a head of romaine and it can cut a chicken breast in half. whatever. just don’t use it for tiny shit. 
  • slicing knife: good for slicing cooked meats
  • bread knife: bread

it’s also gay.

and here’s a cutting board with a knife sharpener. keeping your knives sharp is a good idea because cuts from dull knives are harder to treat, are more likely to get infected, and are more painful over time. cuts happen but you can reduce your risks

Who wants to get me some knives?

FYI: As of 2018, pharmacies in Oregon, Washington, California, Maryland, New Mexico, Hawaii, Ohio, and Tennessee can write birth control prescriptions for the pill, the patch, the ring, and more recently, the depot injection. The prescription is usually for an entire year of birth control. More states are expanding this policy every year, so check if your state is covered.

The prescriptions are covered by insurance like any other prescription (or can be paid cash), you don’t need an appointment, and it doesn’t go through your medical insurance (if you have it). There’s usually a consultation fee between $25 and $50; this fee is NOT yet covered by insurance but it’s only once a year. Check with the individual pharmacy for their fee.

Do Home Depot employees ever wonder what the customers’ projects are? More specifically, do they wonder about mine?

One of my brothers works at Home Depot and the other works at Ace.  I can confirm that they DO wonder.

“So this customer just… went in and bought every single tube of silicone we had.  It wasn’t many, to be fair, but then they also bought a bunch of dirt.  They were really fussy about the TYPE of soil too.”

“They’re a reptile keeper and they’re making a new vivarium.  I can guarantee it.  Ask them what species they keep next time.  I want to know.”

“They keep crested geckos.”
