Wusthof Gourmet 7-Piece Knife Set with Block

If you have not taken culinary classes or at the very least watched some of the online videos on knife handling, do NOT buy these knives. They are one of the top professional brands in the world, and one slice through a vegetable will quickly show why.

My set arrived today, so I took out an onion and diced it in the manner in which I learned from a certified chef, and after I was amazed at how easily the task was completed, I noticed that my cuts were much more consistent and professional than they had been with what was a very good knife for a cheapie -- and consistent cuts are critical in being able to cook the lot evenly and consistently. It sliced rather than tore, and it will take a finger to the bone before one knows he or she has been cut. That's why it's best to learn the professional pinch grip rather than the common hammer grip before trying these out.

I managed to buy my set through Warehouse Deals, used like new, and they came with original packaging (knive blades in paper sleeves and knives in plastic sleeves, all in a separate box; block shrink-wrapped in plastic). I am very pleased and know these will probably be the last knives I ever have to buy. And if not, they have already raised my culinary skills by several degrees.

I love this Kindle Fire!

My first Kindle, use it mainly as e-reader. Like it a lot at first, but after download several hundred books later, it has become cumbersome to wade through all of them to find what I want to read. Please consider add on abs for folders or book search by categories. Here are my problems with the present filling system.

Search by Author : Every now and then, I buy books by certain authors but mostly I buy books by subject( cook books, health, religion, or for fictions I would look for mystery, romance, and so on). Often times, I don't even look for or remember the author name. Search by author in the kindle fire is pretty much almost useless to me.

Search by title : First, I have to brows through both fiction and non fiction titles. Then, what if I don't remember the Exact Title? That dinner recipes cookbook I bought some time ago, is it under D for Dinner? or under R for Recipes? Neither! It was under G for Great Dinner. This search was acceptable when I didn't have so many books, but as my book collection grows, so is the frustration in the search.

Search by Recent : When did I bought that historical romance novel? Some time last month, after hundreds of down load, but before another hundreds of download. Good thing I only have the kindle for a couple of months. Imagine doing this search after owning kindle fire for a couple of years.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is unhappy with the filling system. Please, please, do something about it.
