Now that is not only a time saving, but also finger saving tip. Thanks!
I have actually done that ^ before. I prefer the old-school ritual method, though.
It is very calming (in a Zen-like way) to achieve mise en place at a natural pace.
Damned Food Network and all their new competition shows. Food is about communing, not competing. They are going the wrong way. They kinda ruined my favorite channel with the over-the-top OCD shows.

If Julia Child did that she would still add the wine.........
Well, I thought it was cool.
That's pretty cool. My only problem with this is I can never find the sharp knife. I have good knives but where the hell do they go? 
Me too! Wine makes everything better
Do you have a video on the proper way to cut the cheese, Sunny?
I asked for sharp knives for Christmas.....got two sets. I'm ready to do some serious chopping!That's pretty cool. My only problem with this is I can never find the sharp knife. I have good knives but where the hell do they go?
Am hoping I remember that the next time I use cherry tomatoes--thanks!
Gimme an few minutes....I'll see what I can do
I sharpen my great knives every Saturday during a 4 hour Dexter marathon.
The only thing I remember about my Main Grandfather is "Sharp one side, true the other."
It works.

I have some wood on order, I'll let you know when it arrives.
Sunny, Oh my, how cool is that? It makes me want to run out and get some cherry tomatoes just so I can try it!! Thanks
Probably not the cheese you had in mind.....for that kind of "cheese cutting" you'll have to consult with some men, because I can assure you that I have never cut that sort of cheese.....ever
And honestly, I was a little afraid to look for the video
I wonder if it would work with grapes? I can remember chasing those damn things around the kitchen trying to cut them up for the kids when they were small. You know, the choking hazard thingy.
We won't see cherry tomatoes until late August...September...but that idea is a winner! Now if someone has an idea of how to take the skins off (for salsa) easily I'm listening. We...I dunno what you call it...poach them? Boil in water for a few and the skins peel off...no easy way it seems.
A good santoku (the one with the scalloped blade) is good for cheese and other things. Ming Tsai is hawking one on a recent infomercial. I have one of his Kyocera ceramics, but I'm almost scared to even look at the thing...it's that sharp.
I think it should work with grapes, as long as there was a gap large enough to pass the knife through
