First gift of the season

[tombogan03884]

Today's mail delivered a package from Swiss Colony from my Mother.
Sometimes I'm good and actually wait to open these early gifts.
However, this one was clearly marked "REFRIGERATE IMMEDIATELY !  PERISHABLE ! ".
Well heavens, we don't want the goodies to perish so I immediately refrigerated.
Then I got thinking, wow, it's 2 weeks till Christmas.
What if we lose power ?
What if the Mayans were right ?
I better consider the well being of what turns out to be a Tort.
The instructions say, "To cut Tort, lay on side, score frosting with heated serrated blade, repeat."
I know in threads on knives that I have mentioned my distaste for serrated blades.  Hmmm , what to do ?
The only serrated edge I own is the saw blade on my Swiss Army knife.
It ain't pretty, but it sure is tasty 
ADAPT - IMPROVISE - OVERCOME !

Wait.  I understand you could be having a heat wave in the NE.  Better play it safe and send it down here were we have plenty of hydro-power, thanks to TVA, to keep it cool.   I promise I'll give a full and detail report on its consumption.


I like serrated blades for kitchen and "eating" knifes, mainly because they are so abused anyway it helps keep them cutting long after a plain blade wouldn't cut butter.

Smart move, Tom

Much better to be safe and secure than not.

I could never do such a thing to a fellow forum member considering the importance of good physical fitness in a potential survival situation.

I'll just have to struggle preventing it from perishing while I improve my shape.
Round is a shape, right ?

Depends on what part of you is round! What's a good Marine doing with a swiss army knife anyway? Lost your Ka-Bar?

K Bar doesn't fit in my pocket, pick simple locks, light fires or let me trim my mustache.

Great for nose hair also.

A man after my own heart. If the world ends, no one will find a full bag of cookies in my house. Plenty of spinach, but no cookies.

Women and children first.....
Right after the goodies !    

To finish off this tale of overcoming the seasons adversities, at 8 AM this morning I was in the local Dollar Store plunking down $3 for a bread knife .
