I come from the world of a knife is just a knife.  This knife will cut just like that knife, all you need is for the knife to be sharp.  Well I was wrong.  A good chef knife is amazing to have in the kitchen when cutting up what you need to cut up.

I'll be the first to admit I am not a fan of microwave popcorn.  I just don't like it.  I'll microwave my own popcorn, a brown lunch bag, and 1/4 c. of kernels cooked for 2 minutes.  However, on Sunday, I decided to pan cook some popcorn.

One of the few reality shows I watch is Top Chef.  I love this show.  I have always enjoyed cooking shows, but this one pits some of the best up and coming chefs against each other to compete for the title Top Chef.  These competitors can get down right mean and nasty with each other, but I guess that is what happens when you throw 13 people or more in a house and a kitchen together.
