Four Fun Things

Swedish people use kitchen scissors to cut their pizza too, soo smart!

You could rock it as a Doen model, Joanna. Just saying. That first image is totally you!

I find it weird that people don’t cut pizza with scissors, I’ve always done it that way.

Wait, the woman that wrote the work place article has only been in the working world for 5 years? I’m so impressed – I seriously just got the dumb questions memo about a month ago, and I’m a decade older. She’s going places!

And I need more info about pizza scissors. I’m pretty jazzed about this. Sidenote: just explained kitchen scissors to my husband recently when I caught him opening an amazon with them. :|

Loved the ‘6 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Working’ all totally true. Fun read!

I love the work tips. Especially #6. I think I spent my 20’s obsessing about what people thought of me. Every time I made small mistakes, I was sure I was going to get fired, although no one else probably even noticed. Now at 36, and managing my own business, I know that no one was really thinking about me as long as I got the job done and was pleasant to be around. A shot to my 20-something ego for sure :)

Haha the first time I saw a Spanish flatmate cutting pizza with scissors (when there was a pizza cutter available) I thought “That’s odd… but GENIUS!” I also use them for quedsadillas and to cut tortillas into wedges (to toast and dip in hummus). I also use them to chop up some herbs, directly over the dish, rather than cutting them on a board and then trying to scrape all the little bits off. All hail the mighty kitchen scissors.

I love the pizza scissors tip! Go Italian grandmas. Actually come to think of it my Mum uses scissors in the kitchen for just about everything: broccoli, chicken breasts, sausage meat… The must-have kitchen tool. Great links, Jo.

Quick note – I’ve been a long time reader, slow commenter but when I first started blogging you used to post sweet comments on my posts – it meant a lot to me and I’ve never forgotten. Now I’m back blogging, so (shameless plug) if you want more grandma cooking tips and recipes I’d really be honoured if you’d check out my page.

My mama always used scissors for pizza and pizza cutters for pancakes! Swoosh swoosh swoosh and wha-lah, bite size pancake pieces for all the kids. :)

We use our Kitchen scissors for everything! Pizza, salad, fruit, etc. I have a couple. I also use it on raw salmon its the easiest way to get nice 5-6 oz pieces. These are hands down my favorite https://www.amazon.com/J-A-Henckels-International-Kitchen-Shears/dp/B00023C6K2

I’ve always added a little blush to my nose, but now I’ve been experimenting with Benefit highbeam highlighter (a dab on the tip of the nose).

My mom always used “pizza scissors,” which I thought was totally normal until I hosted a party in high school and everyone there harassed me about it. I feel so validated now!

I use scissors for cutting pizza and lettuce for thin salads! It’s the best. It was actually my Italian grandfather who made dinner one night that had a salad cut so perfectly. We then found out that the secret was kitchen scissors. What a god send!

pizza? girl cut everything with scissors. cuts of meat or fish. green bean ends. asparagus. bread, especially when cutting up baguettes for a crowd and you want it to look uniform and not like you ripped off a big chunk to eat before everyone got there.

Love all of these, but I do wish people would stop saying ‘sun-kissed’. If you are red on the bridge of your nose it means you have been burnt (and put yourself at risk for skin cancer). It doesn’t really encourage being safe in the sun when we use words like ‘sun-kissed’.
Take it from an Aussie.

People always look at me like I’m crazy when I cut pizza with scissors. But it’s just so darn efficient. I grew up with scissor-cut-pizza; there’s not turning back now.

Ha yep. My mom always has kitchen scissors she uses ALL the time– pizza being one.

My cousin recently introduced me to cutting quesadillas with scissors (kitchen shears), too. Genius !

The pizza and scissor trick! Never heard of this before, I’m definitely going to try it :)

So funny–I grew up in a household where pizza was cut with scissors and now I’ve got my husband and 2 sons trained to do the same and there is not a lick of Italian in our heritage! Also love the working advice. I’ve recently started an on-site freelance job after years of working strictly on my own and these are good little reminders for me as I try to navigate the working world again!
