Hey Sjurygg, that leverpostej thing in Ragu is actually really good... I told one of my cook friends about it, and he had the same exact reaction as myself and Darval, but it gives a silkiness to the texture, and a depth to the taste that I wouldn't have thought.. Happy easter! Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Apr 1, 2012 |

Sjurygg posted:Also every time I use Global knives I get a huge loving bleeding blister on my right middle finger from my weird grip. How weird is your grip? I mean, most people get callouses, but outright bleeding blisters? Happy Hat posted:Hey Sjurygg, that leverpostej thing in Ragu is actually really good... I simply must try this out, it sounds suspiciously interesting... Was it just ordinary (not factory) leverpostej in a basic ragu or something more involved?

Overhand in front of the handle, I pinch the blade between the second joint of the middle finger and the thumb. Index finger follows the spine of the blade. Makes the knife an extension of the arm, and puts the hand further up giving me tighter control of the blade, with the wrist giving me downward pressure. Substitute "knife" for "dick" in the previous sentence and you've got

Oh right, I can see how that would scrape your middle finger on anything without a bolster. Can you round off the inside where the bolster would be on a traditional forged knife? Like if the spine is too sharp-edged and digs into your finger, you can round it off slightly.

H^H, I could be interested in that dinner club thing! PM email whatevah me - gone for easter, but I will get back to you. (and sorry to revisit the knife debacle, but: Kozmonaut - my gripe with the fiskars is simply that their knives - even the "chef" knife, the one I called a santoku - are way too thin and flexy and flimsy)

Dane posted:(and sorry to revisit the knife debacle, but: Kozmonaut - my gripe with the fiskars is simply that their knives - even the "chef" knife, the one I called a santoku - are way too thin and flexy and flimsy) My parents have managed to put a ~3cm crack in one of theirs, probably just dumb luck that it didn't actually snap. The thinness is one of the things I like about it, it's great for slicing meat and such. You're right about it not being a particularly sturdy-feeling knife, but I haven't had any problems with mine so far.

Oh, MP. <3 @NoSmo: That's the sweetest thing anyone's said to me this month. <3 Thank you. For the record, DnF has a slamming hot bottom. And her ex is adorable. I'm going to my friends Passover seder. Thankfully, she's running it Sephardic style, meaning that I can use actual spices, beans, rice, etc. I offered to make a Quinoa something or other, and the charoset. To the charoset, I'll be adding dates, pomegranate molasses, cinnamon, cardamom, apples, pears, some brandy, pecans (I like pecans more than walnuts for some reason), possibly some dried apricots, grated ginger, and orange juice. Anyone got any other suggestions on stuff to add to it to bump up the flavour? I considered grating in some nutmeg, and a bit of ground clove, but I'm not entirely sure that I want to take away from the taste of the fresh and dried fruits. If I can find decent mushrooms, I think I'll do my stuffed mushrooms too. I take the mushroom stems, and chop them in the food processor with garlic, jalapeno peppers, almonds or cashews, and lots of fresh parsley. Then I stuff the mushroom caps, and bake them with a bit of olive oil drizzled on. They tend to get eaten fairly quickly. Is anyone here doing the Passover thing? I was having a chat to Psychobabble this morning about the whole messy affair, and he was like, "Dude. Your customers are nuts." I've had to refer back to the Kitniyot list more times than I care to admit, and have chunks of the damned thing committed to memory.

Do you happen to have a recipe for said stuffed mushrooms, or do you just wing it? I'm a vegetarian going to a meaty Iowan Easter dinner, and I would like to bring a delicious thing.

Made home made creme eggs tonight. I think I might have diabetes. I certainly have nausea and never want another Cadbury creme egg ever again, even though I haven't even had one of my home made ones. Well that's one way of curbing a sweet tooth.

I am sort of doing it (avoiding bread, cakes, biscuits etc, but not strictly), and we are hosting first-night Seder. So, you work at a kosher restaurant? Poor devil. I can't recall if the place you work at is South Asian, but it makes me think of a couple of Indian places I went to a couple of times in Murray Hill - Pongal and another one, which were kosherlicious (my brother is kosher. It's insane).

They are hella sweet and strong so you'll want to be careful with them. Plus they'll up your moisture content quite a bit.
