Victorian Homes Still Stand The Test Of Time IRVINGTON, N.Y. -- Having stood the test of time for over 100 years, Victorian homes never seem to go out of style. Introduced to America during the late 19th-century, Victorians became synonymous with wealth and luxury. Now, the remaining examples serve as reminders of a golden age of architecture and culture. Victorian houses are often as eye-catching on the outside as they are inside; unique brickwork, roof edging, ridge tiles and fireplaces in every room are all trademarks of Victorian homes. For example, the more than 120 year old home at 33 Park Road in Irvington embodies the classical…

Sharpen Your Knowledge: The Difference Between Honing And Sharpening NORWALK, Conn. -- Maintaining a knife's sharp, smooth edge demands proper maintenance and care. While knives don't need to be sharpened or honed after every use, it's important to know when a blade needs attention. Knowing when to hone versus sharpen depends largely on a knife's current level of sharpness. "Honing steel will re-align the microscopic teeth and can be used frequently, even after each use," said Andrea Arnold, manager of Wusthof's Connecticut outlet store.
