Ive wondered about these. Ive seen them with a flat blade and a slightly curved blade... Which is better?

I like the utility of it though. Plus it looks orcish as gently caress! rawr :black101:

I've seen the ones with the curved blade, but I've never used one, so I'm not sure. And yeah, if someone ever breaks into my house the first thing I'm going to dive for is that cleaver. Not only will I have the Michael Myers thing going on, if I do have to use it I'll know I can put an edge back on afterwards.

Nobody does, it's just a couple steps short of getting the dedicated hamburger patty mold

I've got an old forgecraft chef's knife I use for everything short of getting mayo out of the jar. It looks like absolute poo poo but it takes an edge real well and it's still going strong even after some hick tried to use it as a crowbar to break my door down, and what more do you need in a kitchen utensil

Very true, it's the constant use that does it, I think, once you find a knife that works with you, then you just use it for everything short of opening cans. I've known people who feel the same way about mezzalunas, of all things.

What do you guys think of mandolins? Are they worth a purchase? It seems like something that would get dull and useless after a bit.

Those are great for handmade noodles, herbs, and chopped salad. Other than that, its just a scary ninja weapon.

You can do mostly everything it can with a chef knife and a steady hand but it's easier with a mandolin.

If you're cutting fries or doing something in bulk (thinly slicing more than a few carrots or whatever) it's waaaay easier with a mandolin. It stays sharp pretty decently, all it ever really cuts is vegetables. There's one I have where the hinges and poo poo are all falling off already but it cuts just fine. Get a cheap one imo.


I've got a 10" chef knife I use for most cutting, a 8" thick german chef knife for chopping poo poo up, a bread knife, and a paring knife in my bag at the moment, I've got some other ones floating around but that's all I need really.

Somebody's gotta tell you how to bread. Are you hand kneading or machine? Are you letting the dough rest and relax after punching down? It looks like you should be kneading for longer.

Hand kneading, I let it rest and start rising again after punching it down, and Im still figuring out the weights.

Im very certain I didnt knead this dough enough.

Im new to making bread... :ohdear:

I roasted some peppers and tomatillos for salsa verde and added some spinach and purslane from the garden. I ate it on tortillas with some shredded chicken thighs and queso fresco it was good.

I had a couple guests over so I made

an appetizer trio of smoked salmon:
...on crostini with slivers of dried fig
...on deviled egg with chives and white truffle oil
...on potato latke with sour cream and fresh dill

followed by the main:
-a Japanese cucumber and shredded chicken dinner salad tossed with a sesame dressing

pausing for the cheese course:
-sliced manchego accompanied by raspberry and fig preserves
-bleu with honey

finished with dessert:
-blueberry flaugnarde topped with a light dusting of powder sugar and creme fraiche

was good. pic of appetizer plate.

If you get your gender marker changed you are legally that gender. To include marrying someone who would have been considered a same sex partner before the change.

Here is a super simple dessert. A clafoutis I made a couple weeks ago.

It's basically a firm mild custard with fruit.



Ingredients
400g cherries (about 25 whole cherries*)
4 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
100g granulated sugar
60g flour
1-2 vanilla bean scrapings

Directions
-Pre-heat oven to 350 F
-Wash, de-stem, and de-pit cherries
-Generously butter a round 9 3/4" baking dish
-Arrange cherries in baking dish so they aren't touching each other or the side
-Using a mixer, combine all the wet ingredients and vanilla scrapings
-When the vanilla is well mixed, add dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
-Pour the batter into the baking dish carefully to not move the fruit too much.
-Place in oven and bake for 25-30 mins. Top should brown a bit and the batter should be set.
-Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 15-20 mins before serving. The clafoutis will rise quite a bit during baking and then fall back onto itself while cooling
-Top with a dusting of powder sugar

*you can use any tart fruit you'd like. Next time I'm trying blackberries, so feel free to experiment with volume and types of fruit/berries a bit. But a clafoutis with other fruit is called flaugnarde.

Do you think a nice graham cracker and shredded coconut crust would go with that? Or, is this one of those dishes where simple is best?

There should be no crust. Add some fresh sweetened whip cream on the side if you want, but leave the rest alone.

I finished all the Crysis games and now I don't know what to play, I considered playing Spartan: Total Warrior for some reason, but now I'm not feeling it.
I thought about playing Supreme Commander too, but it seems too slow an RTS, if I were going to play an RTS, it would have to be something like Emperor: Battle for Dune, which I have been feeling like playing again, but that game doesn't work on my OS.
