One of the rules of St. Benedict that is observed by Benedictines is that everybody works. Chef Victoria demonstrated how to hold knives and how to cut onions, carrots, and vegetables. The large container of apples is the result of about 10 minutes of effort by us. If you want to know more about the retreat I just attended, read last Sunday's explanation here.
It seems a very relaxing activity for some. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a great chopper! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what you made with all those apples. They seem perfect for an apple pie!
ReplyDeleteQuite a lot of apple slices in ten minutes!
ReplyDeleteI come after for eat this
ReplyDeleteI think that's only fair Kate.. that's a lot of chopped apples for ten minutes work ☺
ReplyDeleteThe retreat sounds wonderful Kate.
ReplyDeleteAt first glance I thought that was a blender. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun to me. I may have asked you this before but is your banner picture of Minnehaha Falls?
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed yourself. Knife work in the kitchen is both an art and a craft. Keep your blade sharp.
ReplyDeleteI could do with some knife skill training.
ReplyDeletewow that took a while to cut the apples but good that everyone helped.
ReplyDeleteA good refresher course for everyone.
ReplyDeleteWell, my dear Kate, when I go on retreat, I don't want to work. Were there any Mickey D's nearby? ;) Hope you're doing well. I'm on my way to recovery but it's a long road!
ReplyDeletePretty good for 10 minutes work!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of chefs who can chop up a storm when they get going. I'm slow. I tell myself I'm being meditative.
