I know I left my honing steel somewhere around here.
Honing steel, Kim? Please, educated us (or at least me) on what that might be.
It's something no chef would be without.
I see. Or perhaps not.
I Googled it and learned it's...a knife sharpener. How about that? Never knew that thing they use to sharpen kitchen knives even had a name. The amazing things you can learn by having a blog.
Yes, time to sharpen our tools. In our case, it's a sharp wit, right?
