That was a good post, I've never been and probably never will be to Boston, but I could picture it from how you put it. The reason I actually responded though is to say that Dino is a dude, why do people always think he's a girl?

The Macaroni posted:Agreed on horror stories and food policy. We did something pretty similar with our kid, and not only did she wean herself without incident, but now she'll eat anything that tastes good. I'm so proud of her because she hasn't picked up any stupid food hangups from her mom (mustard, pork, eggs, fine cheese) or me (seafood). Last night we had chicken curry, upma (Indian curry semolina), and for dessert a deconstructed/sloppy trifle with angel food cake, creme anglaise, bananas, and blueberries. Kid ate it all gleefully. I almost feel bad for her when she goes to school and has to eat cafeteria food. I've been pretty lucky when it comes to kitchen injuries. I get small burns and cuts every so often, but they're quickly forgotten. Worst injury I ever had was a steam burn from a tea-kettle, that was purple-blue for weeks until it blistered and fell off.

Stalizard posted:I followed Jacques Pepin's recipe when I first made hollandaise and he said if you see it start to break, throw an ice cube in and whisk like the devil until it's back to normal, then take the remnant of the ice cube out. I had to use it on my first hollandaise and it worked like a charm. I made my first hollandaise last week, but since I couldn't find the link to any of the NICSA Breakfast entries that used it like I was planning to half-way through, I used a recipe that was pictures only and thought it came out tasty. In restrospect, every restaurant I've ever been to uses fake hollandaise and I really wouldn't know if the sauce had broken or not. It tasted good, anyway.

This is a dumb question coming from anyone older than seven, but as much as I love pho, I have yet to master actually eating it. When I had some at a restaurant the other day, I asked the waitress for a spoon, she brought me a fork, and I had to ask for a spoon again. So there's the attempt at eating with a spoon, winding the noodles around the fork spaghetti-style, trying to sip from a bowl bigger then my head, and finally managed to deposit wound up noodles in the spoon along with a bowl of broth and start eating that way, by which time my boyfriend had been done with his curry for ten minutes and I'd barely made a dent. And then there's the accessories. Do you drop the whole branch of basil into the soup and let it steep while you're eating, sprinkle leaves in and sip them up with the other ingredients. Do you dip the beansprouts and eat them or let them float? Help, eating is too complicated for me.

dino. posted:Yeah, I think your best bet would be to do so when all the kids are at grandparents's house, the fire is on in the fireplace, you've got a stack of crap movies that you both enjoy, a giant bowl of popcorn & other finger foods, some really nice vinho verde or beer or whatever you like to drink (even if it's piping hot cups of spiced assam tea or something), and a few hours to ... celebrate after the fact. NOT THAT I SUGGEST YOU HAVE SEX AFTER PROPOSING. But if you do, you want to kind of keep the food and drink light enough that you've both got the stamina to have a go if you want to.  Are you in the market for another spouse?

Maybe someone should start a new cheese thread so that questions are available. My technique for slowly stocking a spice cupboard to be slightly more exotic then rural minnesotan teaching alone would make it is to try new recipes and buy the spice for each one, and think of other things to use it in. When I see a recipe with an exotic cheese- which isn't too often, I find myself saying "Sounds expensive", and going on to a different recipe. A goon guide to cheese would make getting into it less daunting. Especially with chickencheesers maybe probably checking out this subforum now.

You can have a combination of good and boring side dishes and deserts, so that at least a few of the picky eaters will enjoy it with you, and the rest of them aren't going to starve. Also, I would be really tempted to point out how pink ham is at a dinner.

My boyfriend isn't christian enough for my parent's tastes, but they still go out of their way to be nice to him. He even got a nicer present then I did. It's almost like they come from a religion of love and forgiveness or something.

I really enjoy the taste of liver, but one of my friends who's an internet-nutrition expert said that it's the center of all the toxins in an animals body, and that that is the most likely type of meat to make one sick. Anything I can shoot her down with?

The guy in that thread casually mentioning that he's browning elk for a chili and the Cooking Mama Lets Play and some other threads kinda bum me out that there are so many cookists on the forums that are afraid of this forum.

Being a Minnesotan, and without anyone who's remotely adventurous about food in the circle of people that I know locally at all, some of the regulars have already helped me do just that over the yeras. A simple mushroom cream sauce to replace Cream of Mushroom soup, and use that for my grandmother's "hamburger gravy", which itself turns out to be just a midwestern version of Beaf Stroganoff, and my mom's patented "dump cream of mushroom soup on pork chops, put in the oven, have them come out shamefully delicious" recipe. I think that a lot of the crappy food is already an instant version of good stuff- hot pockets are just horrible pasties. So, yeah, I think that thread would be a great idea and I'll gladly participate.

I was pretty sure he was trolling with the instant rice, veered back to thinking he was serious with the real-sounding recipe for poached salmon, but the fondue pretty much nailed it on the trolling side. If you were told to do a best-buy you tube cooking show, what would you do?

Cat's paw is the official safe way to use a knife, but I think that most people just hold it and trust their own reflexes because of how much easier it is to control your cuts and get the cuts you want.

I freaked out a little and sprayed poison everywhere, then did something I haven't done since I started following Goons with Spoons six years ago- I bought some margarine.
