Yeah, it was my first time and I was really confused, and didn't get angry until it was all loaded and we were 20 minutes away and I really started to think about it. I won't make the same mistake again. Thankfully, after I got home I went through the whole batch and found that the other cuts were correct (roasts, organs, oxtail, marrow bones, etc) so that calmed me down a lot especially since they gave me a few extra organs (from other cows) as a bonus. I agree that I'll be trying to figure out how to make them taste right, korean bbq's a good idea. I'm Chinese, we're the kings of cutting meat into itty bitty tiny pieces so I really shouldn't have panicked about it.  I'm not sure about going the meat glue route, but it'd be interesting! I'm tempted to try it just for  .

If only there were a chef or something in the thread who could tell this scrub that he should be using bulk wholesale restaurant supplies. Do you know any chefs? Preferably a chef who makes lovely unfunny YouTube videos and acts like monumentally superior douchebag as often as he can. And tells everyone who'll listen that he's a chef.

I know this forum is more for cooking food than growing it, but I don't know where else to ask short of signing up for some obscure fruit-forums account. We got a pomegranate tree from the previous owners of this house, and the fruits are getting close to what seems to be the right size. We're concerned though, because the reddening is extremely patchy and uneven and about half of each fruit has an appearance of dark leather with crackled skin. I tried looking up diseases but was inconclusive. Does anyone know about this?

Aside from the color issue they look just fine. Is the tree getting a lot of sun? My guess is the brown patch is sunburn on the fruit. I'm not sure pomegranates get that, but a lot of fruits do. The rest of it just looks like an underripe pomegranate. My advice would be to leave them on the tree and check every week or two to see how the ripening is coming along. Should be fine. And we've had gardening threads in GWS before, so I'd say this is the right place for it.

Thanks! The tree's on the northwest side of the house with very little shade, so that's likely what it is. Truth be told we are not the caliber of gardener the previous owners were, and have been having trouble keeping everything... tamed? Just wanted to make sure we got the pomegranates as soon as they ripened. We have a fruit-salad tree too, which bore fruit in mid-spring. We were waiting for them to ripen, then woke up to see the squirrels picked and ate them before we had the chance. Don't want that happening again.

I am a chef. I worked hard to get where I am. I'm not making GBS threads on anyone, just having a little internal 'lol'. Maybe my YouTube thing is unfunny, I don't give a flying gently caress, I have fun doing it. And you know what, the more I do it, the better I'm going to get. And just for your information, lots of 'normal people' do stupid loving poo poo in relation to food. All The Goddamn Time. If you aren't going to to try and correct them(and I admit I can be a dick/douche/rear end in a top hat/etc. about it) then you're part of the loving problem. e2: I can be a sarcastic rear end in a top hat. It just kinda appends itself to you working in this industry, but I never, NEVER, intentionally poo poo on someone who loves food. I only ever want to make people better.

No? That poster was correct, the interior of the meat is "sterile," the exterior is not. Surface bacterial content is the issue.

contrapants posted:I want to see the tree that grows apples, oranges, and watermelons. Nothing so fancy. The previous owner called it that, but it only bore one kind of fruit that wasn't quite a plum, and wasn't quite a nectarine. I've heard about people splicing saplings together so I assumed that's what it was. Was going to give a picture but the little side garden is overrun with weeds after a month of daily thunderstorms.

The pomegranates are fine, just not ripe yet. We had them growing up, and you could always tell they were ready when the entire fruit was getting to be red and almost leathery. Commercial production might keep them shaded a bit more, but the fruit takes a really long time to mature. Your patience will pay off, though.

I recently got a housemate as my finances have been a bit tight and having someone to share the rent sounded like a good idea. However this is the first time I've ever lived with someone that wasn't family or a girlfriend and it's my housemate's first time living away from home (she's in her early 20s). So when she moved in I showed her the kitchen, told her there's a couple of knives I leave out (a chef's knife and a small serrated knife) that she's welcome to use when she's cooking. The first morning she was there I got up to find that she'd dug through my good knife drawer and decided to use a boning knife to cut up some fruit for her breakfast. After I  'd a bit I told her that she probably didn't need to use a boning knife to cut fruit and that the two knives I leave out will cut absolutely anything she needs to cut.The second morning I found that she'd dug through my knife drawer again and used my big gently caress-off carving knife to cut her fruit. This morning she used a bread knife  When I get home from work today I am putting my knifes away in a knife roll and buying some poo poo knives from Walmart or somewhere to leave out for her to destroy. I don't think I'm going to like having a housemate

People who don't cook like to use fancy knives for mundane purposes. You're probably best off buying a small steak knife and letting her use that, and putting the other knives off limit. Don't let roommates gently caress up your kitchen gear. But really, a bread knife? What the hell?

Had roomates cut up a sandwich with this really thin blade chef knife I love. Not only did they cut it on a tile counter but also cut through the tin foil wrapper. Took forever to get that blade back in good shape.

Hello, I am sitting in a cafe, and posting this - isn't internet a wondrous thing? Tomorrow morning I am going to London, because someone wants to see me there - they told me yesterday. Aren't airplanes wondrous too? I am working with guys from Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Dubai on a little project, and we've established that we want our headoffice in Karachi, while we want R&D in Denmark - isn't the world a wondrous place? We're doing application development within an area that will hopefully make all Search and Selection moot, and which will ensure that people will feel happier with their work lives, we don't do this to make money (that is just a side benefit), but we do this to make sure that the overall happiness of the world will increase. Why? Because happy people do not have conflicts, and conflicts really sucks. Aren't people wondrous too? Life is fun. Your pal Happy Hat

My mom is a great cook, but she treats her knives like poo poo. I don't get it, she leaves them in the sink, puts them through the dishwasher, etc etc. Basically just buys a new block of cheap knives every year or two, and can't understand why they don't last.Happy Hat posted:Tomorrow morning I am going to London, because someone wants to see me there - they told me yesterday.

That doesn't compare at all. I had some leftover celery sticks that weren't looking too great. They got all limp. I soaked them in water overnight and they're all crisp and firm again. Tasted great in the salad. I usually hate celery but these were nice.

To be fair, Texas and Delaware are *way* farther apart, physically, than Amsterdam and Copenhagen. It's easy to forget that a significant portion of Europe would fit inside the landmass of Texas.

We had a party Friday night and as usual our friends jumped in and helped (drunkenly) with clean up and dishes. And as usual two of my knives ended up jammed in a drying rack with piles of dishes. I don't even care because while I enjoy sharpening knives, I hate doing dishes so it is a fine trade. Also converting to Team Chinese Cleaver has made sharpening faster and easier. If the woman would let me I would sell all my old Global knives except for the cute little pairing knife.

What you're saying is that you've only had a lot of penis debate groups with Europeans? But how is it that you have established that they were boasting and not saying the truth then? There must have been some sort of comparative reasoning going on, for you to establish that it was boasting? It seems like you're awfully interested in European penises to discuss them so frivolously.

One can be both telling the truth and boasting. If you said "I make a loving fantastic rack of ribs", you're boasting, regardless of whether that statement is true or not. That said, "International Penis Debate Group" would make an enthralling reality show, and one I fully expect to see on TLC before the year is out.
