Something seems to be in the air. From news reported and not, people online and off, and yes, yours truly. Just a strange moon if not a full one.
I went shopping for new cutlery. A brand I like, trust. The ones I bought for my mother. This time I bought the set. Expensive, but the set was at a steal price (will look them over carefully to be sure they aren't knock-offs, but it was from the manufacturer's mini-estore). Odd thing though... I wanted extra pairing knives. While looking, and about to add to my cart? I realized another set was cheaper than the two pairing knives, or even a single chef's knife! So I just went with an extra set. I hope they aren't fakes, or bad seconds.
Still a bit green. Blood sugar has been unstable. As low as 172, as high as 278 after the small bit I could eat, 192 right after I ate... forgot premeal so got it as soon as I remembered. Now up to 212 or such without a bite since the low. The numbers are from memory, but plus or minus five or so. Still, a bit surprised it's not in the three hundreds, or higher, after yesterday. Still, annoying. I guess today will be a fast, maybe tomorrow. My system just isn't used to Coka-Cola ramped booze, yes, regular, three liters. Well, with the hooch on top, about a fifth of it but only 80 proof.
Later, or good night.
I also need new cutlery or a new and better knife sharpener. Anyway, we will!
ReplyDeleteOops, that’s supposed to be: Be well..
ReplyDeleteWe will! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the brand I went with is Viking. If you are curious. A steal, if the price holds. Bought online at that one 'river'.
And may the Lord be well with you also!
I do have one small Viking knife. My German auntie gifted it to me 3 summers ago. I do like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI checked them. Worried they would be seconds or frauds. About $50 for the littlest, over $100 for the chef, only about $100 for 6 knives and block! I'm betting it's a screwy price mistake or scheme that... got messed by odd international markets missallocation.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I unknowingly fibbed. The knife I have is a Robert Herder knife from Solingen Germany.
ReplyDeleteNot a fib if you were merely mistaken. Looks to be good knives too. I couldn't find a set though, if only briefly perused. Both brands are German made, I believe, and fotged. Can't go too wrong, if you can pay more, or less. Further, probably all steel products from Germany are likely Solingen. Been so since before the "dark ages", literally, mostly. (Quotes because there were no actual dark ages, just busy times nearly forgotten.)
ReplyDeleteHmm? Oh, just rambling. :)
