Costa Rica update: holy poo poo these folks are wizards with masa! Amazing tamales, and even the nachos are fantastic. The famous lizano sauce is great, but it reminds me a bit of A1 Sauce. And fruit is so fresh that I may never eat tropical fruit in Boston again.

Foods not very spicy though. How do I ask for hotter food in Spanish? I know that 'caliente' means 'hot', but is that the same as spicy-hot?

Hahahaha. I know just enough Spanish to guess the meaning of that. But isn't 'culo' the correct word for that particular body part?

culo is informal. It's like the difference between butt and rear end.

Anyone got a good pie crust recipe/a good write up on pie technique? I use my moms old recipe that's flour/shortening/salt/water but it never rolls out neatly and I'd like to switch to butter . I'm tired of all my tasty pies from my rhubarb plants looking like a retard made them.

Oh, one of the things I do is to split the dough into two parts, one slightly larger than the other. I wrap them in waxed paper and let them sit overnight in the fridge.

Then I get more waxed paper and take the put it down on the counter, place the dough on top of the waxed paper and place more waxed paper over the dough. I then roll out the dough with a rolling pin btween the two sheets of waxed paper. I place the rolling pin in the middle of the ball then roll towards me, then move around a bit (I use an island to work on so i have 360 degree access) and roll from the middle again.

I keep doing this until i have a big flat circle of dough. Then I take the top layer off, put my pie plate upside down in the center of the dough, wrap the waxed paper around and then flip the entire thing over. The dough falls into the pie plate and I don't have to gently caress around trying to get it even. I then peal the other sheets of waxed paper off, gently press the dough down so its even, and put the pie filling in.

I do a similar thing for the crust, except I just pick up the waxed paper holding the crust and flip that over so the dough meets dough.


Make sense?

[edit] here is a pie i recently made if you have not seen it yet about to be baked. I did above to make this.

I'm not claiming this is the One True Crust, but Smitten Kitchen's All Butter Pie Crust works out really well for me. I usually forgo her "don't use vodka like Cook's Illustrated recipe" and use vodka/booze anyways. I also make it all in the food processor and then let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. It's sometimes a little sticky and rough to lay out, but the wax paper trick explained above with adequate flouring of your papers should work out perfectly.

Pernigotti or Droste have both treated me well. I've had goods baked with Valrhona and it may have been the recipe, but they weren't great.

Freeze your butter and then grate it on a box grater right into your flour. Makes it easy to incorporate.

Do you have a food processor? I'm too lazy to work with flour unless I'm getting paid, but the food processor makes it pretty easy especially if you throw the blade and container in the freezer beforehand. The most important part is keeping the dough cold, so the fastest method will generally be the best.

A lot of the ones I looked at had $ or $$.

Nearly everything I saw was "this has a nice flavor" without actually describing it, so I stopped after I looked at only a handful of reviews. Maybe the others are more highly priced.

My dad tried pork belly once on my recommendation at an upscale restaurant. He said it was a ripoff because there was barely any meat left after he cut all the fat off and didn't understand why I liked it.

Your dad would get along just fine with this guy:

"Despite just being listed as 'pork', this turns out to be pork belly. ...I perform surgery on the dish, and extricate the meat from the fat."

And the overall rating: ":( :( Surprise pork belly"

"This little cauldron is extremely hot. There's nothing worse than being hungry, and being served super-hot food.

Part of what makes this taste good is probably its lack if vegetables.

I won't penalise the dish for it, but it stays hot for way too long, and I'm still having to blow on it right to the end of the meal."

Lol! Truly, what Spanish I know is gutter talk; I learned from hanging with some thugs (vatos) that I worked with at the brake rotor factory. So I can score my own motah, you see.

They also taught me 4 different words for 'friend of the family', which I have never used, and have happily forgotten.

I've seen those hats on people all over Vietnam, but none at all in China. I'm not sure that I'd call it hate speech either. It's racist as hell though.
