We approach the culinary summit of the year … in Mrs M’s dream kitchen. She had a thought. Could she get an old cutting board that I have (huh?) to use an electric knife on? WHAT?
I do give her credit that she learned her lesson and knows she cannot use an ELECTRIC SAW on her cutting board. But, she thought I had “old cutting boards” just laying around that she could destroy with her ELECTRIC SAW? No.
Well, she wondered out loud, could I just make her a board “out of scrap” so she could cube the bread for her renowned stuffing easily? So, a board out of scrap.
She doesn’t know me at all.
The board was made. It’s a 2-sided, no-foot light weight board to abuse as she wishes. I would have preferred more time and bread board ends on a cutting board this thin … but ’twas not to be. After all, this is just for her to destroy.
Since I was in the shop and hungry, I re-surfaced & oiled her main board, sous chef board and the cheese slicer for good measure. Big doings in the Mowry kitchen this week. I am at her service: I don’t starve that way.
The above board is the first cutting board I ever made. Hardwood for the win.
If you find your cutting board(s) need some love after your big doings this week, I am happy to resurface your board for free. It takes me about 10 minutes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
