My thoughts turned towards packing today. Really if you are me or my partner the most important thing to pack is a knife roll. Cutlery in rental apartments is sucky(tm) and I suspect this apartment will be no exception. 

Without further ado-

My gyuto. Sea's Deba. 2 pettys. A microplane, doublesided water stone, throw away pepper grinder & cutting board - We leave the latter 2 behind to enrich the flat. 

Anything else doesn't matter; we both know how to pack & travel light... But for the knives, it would be all carry-on. Funny really - Sea & I pretty much pack the same way regardless if a 2 day biz trip or 3 weeks abroad.

I'm already thinking of menus to cook; Thanksgiving will involve Duck Breast as always...

Pretty funny in hindsight- We are always abroad at Thanksgiving. I don't actually know when we were last CONUS for said holiday. 

My back is fskedtoo... Gonna take some meds & crash.

Added photo reason for edit.

Perhaps not my place to mention it but Jon has started on off topic thread here for the sort of questions that de-rail the blog thread. I think it's a brilliant idea!

Thank you Kerry- I thought that would be a good idea too.
