I posted this in the Happy thread, but it really belongs here. My wife felt bad that Enzo slept on our bed, and Ettori didn't have a bed to stretch out in. Enter: the $150 Sealy dog bed. This thing is literally like a small-scale Sealy human mattress; it's not just a piece of foam and fuzz.

Very nice! One of my girl dogs would chew that up in about 2 hours.

I bet my dog would love that bed! Then she would commence to chewing a hole in it and pulling all the stuffing out. 😄 She lives up to her nickname "The Honey Badger" fairly well. She doesn't give a F@#*

Same with mine! I bought her a bed that she loved until she didn't. Came home from work with fuzz every where.

Aye. That is definitely a fear. However, she has lived with her other bed for this long without incident. We try to keep her supplied with things to occupy any destructive tendencies (though she has shown none). Oh well. We'll let her enjoy while it lasts.

Beagle? Our Beagle, Jordan has four different beds......and he uses them all. 😆 Even has two of them in the living room together. He goes from one to the other bed; it's funny watching him. He'll sleep in all them throughout the day usually.

On a side note, I bought those same steps for our Wheaten Scottish Terrier, Maggie, when she was with us.

She's an Estonian Hound. Basically, the body of a large beagle, with Tina Turner's legs. This bed is at the foot of our big bed, but she still has a few other dog beds around the house. She tends to crash wherever the hoomans are, and I'm usually hanging out in the bedroom if I'm not up walking around the house or out. We originally bought those steps because our bed in the master bedroom upstairs (before I got hurt and had to move downstairs) is so tall. The floor is hardwood and Enzo couldn't get enough traction when he tried to jump up on the bed. It was funny, but he'd eventually end up hurting himself. The stairs are also great for helping me get back up when I fall. ;)

Found a vintage set of 1950’s Ancienne Maison steak knives on EBay! Hard to find a good set of knives in the US that do not have serrated edges. View attachment 43635View attachment 43636

Wow those are beautiful, I have several sets of steak knives myself but these outclass all of mine. The only sets I’ve been able to find that were not serrated were Japanese, really difficult to find though.

It is and I thought they didn’t exist. I found by accident years ago what a difference a sharp edge makes when cutting a steak, or tuna. Serrated tears as it cuts and it seems the little bits dry out instantly. Whatever it does, there is a noticeable taste and texture difference if I do a side by side with meat cut with a traditional serrated vs. a very sharp blade. I found these by mistake. My uncle was a kitchen knife fanatic. He gave my mom an Ancienne Maison knife as a gift years back and I recently discovered it. Holds an amazing edge with little care. I always joke that I’m going to take it. Anyways, I searched online for that same knife and found it. Was happy when I found the steak knives by accident. Trying to locate a few others that exist and put a set together in a generic wooden butcher block I plan to buy.
The steak knives were only a little over $100., which I think is a steal.

I have a non-serrated set from Laguiole, also made in France. All I use when serving meats.

Just looked those up. Interesting shape design. I’m guessing pretty ergonomic. Makes sense the French would do this as fanatical as they are about food. I could see serrated evolving here due to how Americans are all about convenience. Restaurant business industry doesn’t want to have to waste time on keeping steak knives sharp.
 
Here’s the other Ancienne Maison knife I bought. 1950’s vintage as well. Razor sharp as I found out last night while cutting cabbage for coleslaw while not paying 100% attention talking to my son. Cut the tip of my thumb off and had to throw the cabbage (and thumb part) out in the rubbish. Whoops!

When I was working at the meat department of our small town grocery store, I had a band aid incident. I had just cut my finger earlier in the morning and a lady asked me to shave some deli meat for her. After I was done shaving it and wrapped up, she was on her way. A moment passed and I noticed that my bandaid was missing. Holy shit! I tracked her down and told her that I had labeled it wrong. Took the package back and as luck would have it, the bandaid was between the first and second layer of cellophane. I was able to fix the issue and got her package back to her. Damn 20 yr olds, not paying attention. I’m sure I was day dreaming about where and who I’d be drinking with that night. Those were the days.
