Normally, I am not a Reisling fan, but when paired with Thai curry it is a match made in heaven - I highly recommend it!

Thank you for posting Faith! The suspense has been killing me - and it's well worth the wait! The kitchen looks fantastic, and I am totally smitten with the custom door fronts. Congrats!!

I have a nakiri-bocho too that was a gift from my mom - I don't know the name of it, but it is also from a Japanese sword-making family and she bought it at a small knife boutique in Scottsdale. I also have a 6" chef's knife and 4" paring knife from them as well. I absolutely love them and can't find a better brand out there. The rust can be annoying, so my local knife sharpener gave me some steel wool and said to use it to remove the rust - note, the wool must be 100% dry.

It's so nice to see all the well-wishes on this post. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Rosemary.
I work in the restaurant industry and it can be tough when you can't get time off for the holidays. I have a friend I work with and he has all the "orphans" from the restaurant (those whose family is out of town/state) come over to his place for a pot-luck every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is so wonderful how he opens his home to such a large group and we all bring in our own apps/entrees/desserts/sides and play games and drink wine. It makes us all feel welcome and at home, which in essence is what the holidays are all about. So even if we can't spend it with our family, we still are able to be close with the people we see day in and day out. I highly recommend it.
