That looks amazing.

That doesn't make them any less 'proper chopsticks' just cause they're cheap hahaha. Most of the time when I see the indented ones, they're used for cooking tbh. I've never seen a family use the indented ones mostly because everyone just buys the huge packs of cheap ones that have pretty nice slick comfortable wood.

Yeah I've lived in China and Korea and have never seen chopsticks with indents or the sandpapery ones. The ridged ones I've only seen at souvenir shops.

Anyway there are multiple styles, try them all and find the ones you're most comfortable with. I like the pointy Japanese type best.

I cut mine into three columns then across, which would have worked better if I had put the whole thing in the freezer for a couple of hours before but still turned out ok. Basically as she says in the recipe notes, the colder the better before you cut it.

I once heard a story from Alton Brown about him trying to recreate his grandmothers biscuits and no matter how exact he could make it , he could never get the fluffiness. Until one day he just asked her to make them for him so he could watch, and he discovered that due to her arthritis she could not use her fingers to knead the dough, just the general palm of her hands.

If that's garbage then just call me the garbage collector :love:

Cheating a bit as it wasn't last night by a long shot. A few months ago some nice GWS people helped me with butchering/preparing a rabbit for the first time. Thanks to them, I turned this:



into this:



I wished I'd had a bone saw, it was a bit of a bloodbath (for a wimp such as myself), wasn't too keen on ripping out heart and lungs etc., but not too bad for babby's first butchery!

Tried a slow-cooked confit-ish recipe with rosemary (as I have a mountain of it growing), olive oil, garlic (shitloads) and white wine and I have to say that, despite the recipe's claims of "I know 500ml of olive oil for one small rabbit seems excessive but just trust us!", that was too much drat oil. Look at this slick:



But! The meat was really fall-off-the-bone™ tender and tasty. I wouldn't go out of my way to make/have rabbit again but am glad I finally tried it. Strangely far less gamey than I had expected. With sautéed spuds, obvs.

Far better was the rabbit liver pâté (the culprit peeking on bottom left on the butchery picture):



Yes, I did cheat on the toast but I was eager to try it dammit!



Was super-rich and delicious (the cognac definitely didn't hurt either).

In recent futzing around, I've not much of a sweet tooth, but was given a load of cooking apples and clementines from friends of family with orchards (lucky bastards :argh: ) and I hate to waste things so...

Clementine possets:





Old Skool but surprisingly easy to make (I was convinced a posset surely had gelatine in, but no - it sets that way through witchcraft). And you have to love that natural colour :) Would and will make again and again.

And for the apples, apple & cornflake pots (which are so much kiddie-food it may as well be a kids' recipe...apart from that whole burning hot syrup/sugar/butter element). We adults ate them with no shame :colbert:



Apologies for ramble-post. Haven't contributed in a while but love seeing all the great stuff you lot do :cheers: and being jealous

Bonus double-post of pretension. You know those youtube videos and the like where everybody is so keen to put smartypants books that they probably have never read in the very obvious background? My attempt:



My mum picked that up in a charity shop and threw it my way and it seemed like the perfect contrast to peasant food in the foreground. Either way, leftover roast turkey (yes, I am cooking turkey in the middle of summer on a non-holiday) combined with pancetta/garlic/onion/peas/heavy cream/parmesan and pasta is great and I should remember that for next Thanksgiving/Christmas. Not just for sandwiches!

e: I may have been a bit tipsy when I thought the book shot was a good plan.

drat, I really need to make a good pasta like that sometime. I haven't had that in a while. You got a recipe?

In other news, I tried broiling a steak today! It came out pretty nice, nice pink center and a hell of a lot of juice. Enough to do something with, actually - shame that I don't have any gelatin or anything, or I could attempt a pan sauce again. :v:

It looks fine. Well executed. It was funny to me, googling it and finding pictures that look exactly like it - something dystopian about it.

I'm imagining sitting at a gray plastic table where everyone is wearing the same clothes and has the same haircut and the exact same plate of food, right down to the number of beans. I ask what the sauce is for and the others look at each other like the "he doesn't know what the three shells are for?" scene in demolition man.

Good job expanding your repertoire and don't get discouraged by us weirdos.

Peruvian style chicken is awesome, Blue Apron or not.

I'm a huge fan of Kenji's recipe- http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/08/peruvian-style-grilled-chicken-with-green-sauce-recipe.html. It's pretty drat easy and really impressive when you have folks over to grill.

First try at shakshuka! Came out reasonably, just onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pure red chili powder. The egg yolk broke a little but was a hair runny at the end and I suck at cracking eggs so that's fine.

I think some more spices of some sorts would be good, any other tips? Cooking for one is a *little* sad, but my wife hates stewed tomato dishes of pretty much all sorts.

Cumin. Paprika. Lots of both. I also put in a red bell pepper, and either serranos or jalapenos.

lol I'm fine making it just for myself and any children who happen to like it.

Yeah I'm seeing adding cumin seeds and toasting them, then adding the onions and such. Paprika vs smoked paprika vs pure red chili? And yeah I'll probably try to grab a bell pepper next I go food shopping, this was "what do I even have that works in this". Thanks!

I use smoked paprika almost exclusively instead of paprika because it's awesome. But depends if you want a smoky flavor or not. I also use fire-roasted tomatoes in my shakshuka.

I use smoked paprika, toasted cumin seeds and cayenne pepper.

Also substituted the onion for fennel as I have reflux and it worked surprisingly well.
