At work, one of the Icelanders mentioned how much he missed good mackerel back home. Fret not, I said, because KO is sending me a mackerel tasting kit soon, so now I'll have a Norseman to eat these with.  Everyone else hates my sardine lunches, but if you got haters you must be doing something right. My carpool buddy, the Tasmanian, said hey m8 I might try one of those sardines one of these days, so when we get back from break, I'm gonna set him up. First with straight sardine on cracker w hot sauce, but maybe later do something dressier with avocado and sherry vinegar. Regardless, the workplace dine enthusiasm has been rewarding in spades recently, as this is what I got for my secret santa gift:  I just noticed my cardigan sitting on the basement table so that's extra Dad points I suppose OP you probably want to put that Wild Planet is a good brand in there, because often times you see it next to the KOs. Solid start to another glorious thread.

I bought Sambal Olek today for the first time. I haven't had it on sardines yet, but I was pleasantly surprised of how fresh it tasted. I like my sauces hot, but I was pleased with it's mildness. Had it on stir fry, but will have it on sardines soon. If you have not tried it, definitely pick up a jar.

I usually drain most of the oil out before I put them in the dish, but do what you like. I don't mind the oil, but sometimes prefer some fresh olive oil instead of the can oil. Less dadly, but delicious.

Just cook brown rice in a little bit of stock, flavors it nicely.

I have a sardine success story that I need to share with the crew Last night, my girlfriend hosted a happy hour at our house with her workmates. Nothing fancy, she put out some cheese, crackers, and so on. She likes fisherman's eggs, and therefore I say she's a kipper. Anyway, not sure how it came up, but she said that her workmates wanted to try sardines and had not before. Mind you, the three girls are all in their early twenties. I was pleased that they were so adventurous as to try them, as I would think that particular demographic wouldn't be so game. I quickly fetched and drained a tin of Wild Planet into the sink, and had them try a a few chunks as-is. Not bad, they said. One of the pieces had a secondary chunk hanging off by a piece of bone or skin, and I said "oh, that's normal" when I got a slight look of apprehension. They were good sports. After they tasted them from the can, I noticed that there was an avocado on the counter. Thinking quickly, I mushed dem dines up with the avocado, grabbed a random half lime in the fridge, salt and peppered the mix up, and said now check this out... Served it on a cracker and had them have a sip of white wine afterwards. They were hooked! Really liked it, and went back for more. I then showed them how we do it Dad style and put a big hunk of spine dine on a cracker, dumped a big ol glop of sambal oolek on there and took it straight to the head. Anyway, I hope you liked my dine story about an unlikely group of girls really enjoying sardines at my house. Sardines are not just for dads.

Let me tell yall something about oysters. Well, two. First off, you need to try them roasted. To me, this is one of the best ways to eat them. I learned this from the waterbillies down in the Northern Neck of Va, where the Rappahanock Oyster is king. What they do is simply heat up a grill and throw them on. You can also do this with a toaster oven. What this does is slightly cooks the oyster as well as makes it easier to open. You cook them to your liking - you can just warm them for 5 minutes, or cook them until they're a nugget. Best to me is "al dente" where they oyster has a little bit of texture to it, but the liquor is still there. They pop open from the heat, which makes it easier to shuck. Give it a try sometime. If you like oysters and can find one, pair them with Muscadet wine. It's a classic pairing. Saying "classic pairing" is dadly so if you dont like that just drink a tall boy and be like gently caress it Oysterchat

Look Sir Droids posted:Gonna need a recipe for that hatch chile sauce, sardude. OK here's what's up with the hatch chile thing Every year, Wegmans (which is an East Coast groc store chain) does a hatch chile roast where they get these big cases of them and they set up outside roasters like in the southwest. Therefore, I bought a whole case of them because they're delicious and they freeze well. What I did was loosely based on this, which I've done before, http://www.goonswithspoons.com/Mango_Habanero_Hot_Sauce ..but what I really did was puree a bunch of already roasted, defrosted hatches and some good quality apple cider hippie vinegar Softened the onion in a little oil, then garlic, mixed in some cumin and tumeric, folded in, salt to taste  I like the sauce a little thicker and with the texture of the onions. Its not a vinegary hot sauce, more a relish and it's amazing on eggs too.

Saturday sardine wrapup. BTW I liked the story earlier about the dine dad that took a post dine parknap after escaping his noisy children. So yall have been talking about the KO mediterraneans. I usually go for plain olive oil ones but I was in the store with girlie and grabbed some med ones. I got the eyebrow because we're moving soon and have been trying to eat through things in the cupboard, not add to my already rich and full canned fish stash. Busy day, prepping for the move, hungry by noon, so we came home and threw them into some leftover clam pasta with peas from the other night. Amazing, will always keep these med dines onhand due to convenience of just throwing them in! Had to go back to the grocery store for evening dinner things and bought another can so I dont have to go without. She saw it in the bag and said YOU BOUGHT MORE?! and I was like Lastly, we needed something to put the bacon grease in after Saturday night's dinner, so she grabbed the dine can that I had given the cat for lickins  and I put the bacon grease in the dine can. I was cooking outside and left the can on the ground. The dog was quiet for a while, so she went out there and the dog had gotten into the bacon grease dine can! Miniature wirehaired bachund running around the living room all greasy.

The other weekend I was like gently caress it and made the fishermans eggs for lunch (again). It was bomb, you just take what you have, throw it in that oiled up tiny cast iron skillet and next thing you know its late lunch on a Saturday and you didnt have enough for breakfast so its super hittin' the spot. Dump a bunch of Sambal Oolek on it with a wheat toast heel and all of a sudden you have the strength to get back out there and do whatever you need to do.

I have a choice of the apron, a shirt or a hat. I'll probably take the apron, as I have a billion t shirts (including a bootleg KO shirt from eBay) and I don't know what the hat looks like. Any suggestions?

I did. I just don't know if it's a ballcap (which didnt come up in the search) or King-of-Scandanavia hat. I assume the former.
