Best Kitchen Knife Set for the Money : My Personal Expereince

When comes to choosing a best kitchen knife with the limited amount of money it will allways difficult task for any cook.

You have to balance the scale where you don't want to go and buy cheap product to save money and compromise the quality.

However in other hand you if you're on a limited budget then you can go and pick any knife from Global brand or similar because they will very expensive.

Luckily today I will tell you what good knives which will fit your budget and also will be adequate quality.

If you're very tight on your budget then the obvisous choice Farberware. It has very good blade for the money but the value of the kinfe ends there because handle is cheap and also it can easily get chipped. Not recommend if you're planning to use it for long time.

If you bbudget is bit more flexible then I would recommend Ginsu because they are made in america. They are made from japense steel however quality will range according to price of each model. Be sure to clean the blades really well if you want to use the knife for long time.

If you really have good budget but looking to get most of your money then the good option is to get one of the following JA Henckels, Calphalon and Chicago Cutlery. These are very high quality knifes with excellent build and blade.

Weight Loss Journey : Day 1

One of the main reasons why I started this blog was to give me an outlet to discuss how I was doing with WW and my exercise schedule.

I’ve listed my blog on the WW site so other WW members could visit and comment about my posts. Maybe I’ll provide info that someone else will find useful. Maybe not. ;)

To be honest, I can’t really say that I’ve been 100% committed to this program yet. I chose to follow the WW Core program. It’s their relatively new program that allows you to eat without counting points, but only eat foods like veggies, fruits, grains, etc.

Bread is not part of the plan. You do get a weekly allotment of points to use on bread, and other stuff. Personally, I think this plan sounds healthier and more sustainable to me than their original Flex plan where you can eat everything but count points.

I did that plan and ended up using my points for crap food. I don’t think it taught me anything—obviously it didn’t. I like Core because I am focusing on HEALTHY natural foods. Yep, I will use my points for some bread and some chocolate here and there (come on!).

My biggest problem right now is my sugar intake. It’s off the charts I would say. So, cutting out all of the sugar (processed food, breads, etc) will be the hardest part for me to get a grip on. Before WW, I would just eat whatever, knowing full well that it was bad for me, or not GOOD for me, etc.

For example, every morning I would go to our office cafeteria and get a bagel with cream cheese. For a while, I would get a whole wheat English muffin instead. Not sure why I switched. But, still, I know better and I absolutely have to give that up as a daily breakfast.

I never felt good afterwards, I still had little energy. These are the kinds of meals I need to avoid and break myself from. It’s the same for lunch. I would buy/eat the stupidest food choices. Again, I need to make serious changes…

So, I’ve come up with a list of changes I am starting to work on. Here they are:

1. Bring my lunch to work every day. Fill it with good Core foods like fruit, veggies, chicken, turkey, sweet potatoes, etc. Make enough to last all day, including snacks
2. Do NOT bring any money to work. I am too tempted to buy snacks, etc and I don’t need it. And, I will have extra $$ each month for my iPhone/Wii fund. :)
3. Drink more water and less Diet Coke. If you know me, you know I love my Diet Coke. Even I know it’s too much. Sad, I love my Diet Coke. Just now in moderation!
4. Exercise more. My neighbors and I are training for a 5k over Thanksgiving. I’ve never run a race, or around the block for that matter. ;) Should be interesting. I am psyched because it’s been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember. I start “training” today. Also, get back into a weight routine. Adding weight training back into my regimen will be good. But, still focus mostly on cardio. More like 80% cardio 20% weights.

This was a long post! But, I feel good-I’ve put it “out there” for others to see (hi honey!) and they’ll hold my feet to the fire. :)

Dear Internet

I love you, internet. You make it possible for me to keep track of Britney's custody battles, which celebrity had a baby today, and read an in depth analysis of why Miley Cyrus/Hanna Montana will destroy our daughters.

But, lately internet, you are making me obsess over such stupid things. Like, how can I convince my husband that an iPhone is a necessary upgrade from my current cell phone? I want an iPhone for many reasons, most of which make perfectly reasonable sense to me.

I want a Wii, too. I think it would be so much fun for our family to have a game that we can play together. And, you don't just sit on your butt and play games--you move. :)

So, I am putting this out there, internet, just like Oprah said to do. If you want something bad enough, tell the universe and think positively and it will happen!! Praise Oprah!

I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii. I want an iPhone, I want a Wii.

Thank you, internet.

Food and My Weight Loss Journey

I rejoined Weight Watchers for the 1,000,000 th time this month. I understand WW works, it has actually worked for me in the past, however the idea of investing loan on losing weight simply owns me nuts. Seriously, why do I require to pay somebody else to assist me lose weight?

I've lost some weight currently, however it's like the suggestion of the iceberg to me. I've got a long method to go and I've got a lot of modifications to make. I am taking my time, slowly making huge modifications consisting of working out more and consuming less CRAP.

I intend on publishing frequently about this, to keep myself truthful and to have an archive of my development. Consisting of images. Gulp.

Dream me luck ...
