Put the Machete Down

While wielding a machete in my kitchen— I had some foods to slice: tomatoes, cheese, baked ham, boiled eggs, grapes, lettuce--I was planning a scrumptious smorgasbord, one sure to please. But then I saw the warning on the handle: “Machetes are not meant for kitchen use!” I had to face the facts. To use a weapon, one needs a truly excellent excuse. October 17, 2016

Yes, I had to switch over to an ordinary, boring knife! Thanks, Nette! Janice
