"I did what?"
"I said what?"
"I did who?"
"Where did these bruises come from?"
"Where's my car?"
"Where did this dent come from?"
"Why is my car parked on the neighbors fence?"
"I don't recognize this state."

But, what really did it for me is looking in the mirror and saying "who is this person?"

Well, it was not alcohol related.

I went home today, I think this is the most tired I have ever been. Tired to the point of being physically ill. As soon as I got home, I literally got out of the car, took three steps over to the oak tree and laid down in the shade. Right there, in the grass, I didn't care. I woke up almost two hours later when the shade had moved and I was in the sun.

I had that feeling, the "What am I doing here?" feeling then. That's when I went inside and laid down on the bed with Diesel. And of course, couldn't sleep.

So, here I am, at work... *sigh* I hope it's a short night.....

Four Reasons Why You Should Hand Wash Your Expensive Knives

Reason #1: While it's true that many contemporary knives have handles that are dishwasher safe, it's the blades that don't fare well during washing. The jet spray of the dishwasher can cause those knives to bump around and knock against each other, with some even banging against the plates. Over time, all this activity can dull the knife blades.

Reason #2: Dulling the edges of the knife blade is one reason why knives don't belong in the dishwasher. Damaging the dishwasher is another reason why your good knives should be hand washed instead.

Reason #3: Aside from dulling the blades and carving up your dishwasher racks, many knives, especially the more decorative kinds can't hold up to high temperatures and exposure to water.
Knife handles made of wood, bakelite or other vintage plastics, horn, and antler quickly deteriorate in a dishwasher, and are best washed by hand.

Reason #4: To avoid damaging a dishwasher utensil basket, many of us will assume that placing our knives pointy end up in the basket is a workable alternative. The problem with this is that you run the risk of slicing your hand open by carelessly grabbing a handful of utensils after the dry cycle has finished. Higher risk of injury is just another good reason why knives should never be thrown loose in a utensil basket.


With all the "dos and don'ts" that coming with owning a good set of knives, it's really the best practice to always hand wash a knife, no matter what the manufacturer's instructions may read. Not only will you reduce the risk injury to yourself and the dishwasher, but you'll extend the life of your knives for many dozens of years.
