Knives


So I have always wanted to have more steak knives. Whenever we have steak it is usually when we have company down. I only have 4 knives. I always hate making guests share knives or have them use a knife that doesn't cut so well.

Well...my problem is now solved. You see I went to this Restaurant dispersal sale at McDougall auctions and bought all these for ...well... let's just say less than what 1 round steak would cost to buy.



In this I got 42 small black sharp knives, 23 wooden handle small knives and 39 Large Steak knives. I also found 7 forks, 2 spoons and 4...shall we say pickle forks( I have no idea what they are called). For a grand total of 105 knives. I think I will see if Bethany needs any knives.

I did get other stuff. I have been wanting to get folding tables, I finally got 4 of them. I also got A chrome clothing rack and a box of about 100 small re-usable grocery type bags. They are from a wine Company from South Africa( well the wine is from there anyway). They are made to hold 3 bottles of wine or other bottles I guess. They are really nice. Guess what everyone will be getting their gifts in for the next 5 years.

Anyway I guess the Mennonite in me couldn't let these deals go. I mean, no one was bidding on some of these items. Who can't use 100 knives of 100 gift bags?!!??!
