Lab...Tom, "cheap copy...expected more..." Labels are not everything! Mine have all the necessary requisites; good balance in the hand, high carbon steel running right through the riveted handle. The main thing is that I keep them sharp, giving them a short session with the steel before I return them to the block. We had to make our own tools in the forge for the sculpture class at college, which left me with a healthy respect for keeping them in good nick - something you'll know all about. I'm sure there are many blunt Sabatiers languishing in kitchens up and down the country - the name alone will not cut the mustard!<br /><br />Dear Olive, yes, I'll do just that!<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you've suffered the same fate, Bonnie. I got to work with my gardeners' soap, containing pumice, but my fingertips still tingled for quite a while!<br /><br />Dear flwrjane, I didn't!<br /><br />I have been hunting for new things to do with plums, Rosemary and am going to give Cafe Sperl's plum squares recipe a go as it uses 675g of fruit. I'll post it if it's a success!<br /><br />Dear Weaver, Save a jar for me! I'll swap you with a jar of the redcurrant jelly that I've just made.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833049860541499858.post-45115871469950722342011-08-25T02:15:56.560-07:002011-08-25T02:15:56.560-07:00Isn't it a lovely satisfying feeling to fill f...Isn't it a lovely satisfying feeling to fill freezer and store cupboard with things from the garden?
