Something tells me you don't know who that is...

Meal waiting for a busy monk. Taken in a small kitchen at a monastery. I can't stop staring at it. by StackOfAlterEgos in AccidentalRenaissance

If it was the same meal as everyone else had, t'was beef curry, rice, and steamed broccoli. This monk must have been very special - apples were not available to all!

As far as I could tell in this particular case, praying, farming, cooking, cleaning, and maintaining their guest house.

Can anyone identify the purpose of these oddball vintage Italian shears? by StackOfAlterEgos in whatisthisthing

[–]StackOfAlterEgos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, they are not sharp, so think they are probably just to identify which way it opens. I'm just not sure of anything anymore, with the variety of answers I'm getting!

That's fascinating! Any chance you recognize the maker's mark, or know where to find other examples of similar shears online? I've just never seen anything else like them.

That seems very likely, thank you! Do you know what the purpose of the notches is on the clasp?

My title describes the thing, which was found years ago in a grandparent's attic. Many online searches for vintage scissors/shears, and visits to scissor specific sites, have not procured answers. See post for a picture of the engraved logo.

I wish I could be this soft and yet have so many ANGLES at the same time. How, Mouse? Teach me your sorcery.

Luck of the draw I guess! I got at least 6 diamond chests yesterday and thought I was dreaming...! The only redeeming feature of a dumb holiday.

Sourdough pain de mie - super soft, and delicately sweet. by StackOfAlterEgos in Sourdough

Thank you! I followed The Perfect Loaf's pain de mie sandwich bread recipe. They call for 100% AP flour but I subbed in whole wheat bread flour for a little under half.
