On a whim of sorts, I bought a knife roll for cutlery storage and transportation. It made sense in a way because I don't have a block to house the knives and will probably need some sort of container to transport them in. However, it's rather silly in the grand scheme of things since A) I almost never cook anywhere except for my kitchen and B) I always use the native implements of the foreign kitchen.

On the other hand, maybe it's a sign or a step forward. One of my friends suggested that I cater a dinner for her a while back. Perhaps I should be bold, bite the bullet and do it: after all, it'd be my first step into a professional culinary career. Plus it'd give me an opportunity to try out the knife roll.
