He sharpened some of the knives for me, but the knives were still dull! I checked the whetstones he had, and found they were not properly flattened. I will have to get a decent whetstone and sharpen the knives by myself in the near future.

My family only wants to eat pumpkin soup or pottages. But that is fine with me. I can easily eat one small Hokkaido type pumpkin by myself. Thanks for sharing. Did your father never sharpened his knives? As a farmer? My mother is the same she owns tons of dull knives. I hate to prepare food in her kitchen.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-50471298281094503462016-12-23T12:12:40.259+09:002016-12-23T12:12:40.259+09:00ErinBear: Well, I don't like melons, oysters, ...ErinBear: Well, I don't like melons, oysters, and eggplants, and people just don't understandy why I don't like them.

I think it is so delicious. I guess everyone is different.<br /><br />I hope you can get the knives sharpened. Where I live, it's very nice; you can take your knives to the grocery store, and the butcher department will sharpen them for free for you while you shop. It's a helpful service.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Erin from California<br /><br />ErinBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799435961212113451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-1557785134432472402016-12-23T09:10:57.911+09:002016-12-23T09:10:57.911+09:00diu: Yes, almost everyone likes kabocha!diu: Yes, almost everyone likes kabocha!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-38824471387793103482016-12-23T03:26:31.480+09:002016-12-23T03:26:31.480+09:00Good afternoon, I love cabocha.Good afternoon, I love cabocha.diuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731386860584458418noreply@blogger.com
