best Cuisi's ever getting the job done
-
Some time ago I posted abut this see this at a yard sale , complete or not and clean-able : get two . not realizing this years ago : iit has two buttons : ' Chop ' & ' Grate ' OK . but someone has their Thinking Cap on [ remember those ? Not opn Tick Tack Tock ? ] the blade is a standard Cuyisi blale : a very sharp edge , and a dull edge this machine uses the sharp blade edge for ' chop ' , ie it rotates in a certain expected direction but on ' Grind ' it rotates on the opposite direction , and uses the dull side. Those Were The Days.

a Zillion years ago , I got an apron that was standard Chef : dark blue , a few white stripes 100 % cotton that dates it for sure . it was fun to use . I drew the line at one of those Puffy White Hats. and those weird checkered pants moving a long , now I wear a newer vision , not 100 % cotton as my house is very cool , [ Ha Ha ] so I wear a light LLB down sweater // light coat , as sweaters dont do well w me. I used to wash all my various down items , successfully . forgot a coat and it was too late to rehabilitate. Dry Cleaning the current item , it seems , was $ 30 + So I try to wear the newer version as it more cost effective to wash that , then the $ 30 + simple.

my Tj's finally has stopped carrying the Petit Fours. not a bag thing in itself ... so these were new , and I thought they might ' ease ' the transition : these were awful . the cake is very pasty . taking them back . just as well : for the PF's , Ill have to wait until next year.

Ive always washed by hand my processors , and dried the part w a soft cloth. I carefully dried the blade , and I didnt over do that , as the blade was very sharp , and let that sit on the counter overnight , along w the bowls. they were dry the next day. pay careful attention to the blades , as they are very sharp , and looking for trouble I friend dropped his blade one his foot , wearing ' slip-ons ' I had to take him to the ER , and process the damage to the foot. it was not trivial as the blade stuck right in the instep.

@TdeV ''' stacked them in the dish tray in a way that hid the blades from accidental hands. This morning most parts (blades and bowl) leaked water.stacked them in the dish tray in a way that hid the blades from accidental hands. This morning most parts (blades and bowl) leaked water. ''' im a bit confused , which is on me : is the dish tray 1) part of the dishwasher ? how does a bade lick water ? did you damage the bowl ?

@liamsaunt looked interesting and tasty to me. Tomato sauce can get a bit predictable and thus boring.

at my local TJ's , they have a decent sized wine dept. w several people having a good understanding of what they have , and what I like. this came in : they recommended it to me , so I tried it dry , decent mouth feel , no benzene ( chemical flavors ) pleasntly on the tart side w ' green ' flavors that linger. ' green ' being interesting flavors , not chardonnay like flavor lingers I like it. thought it would be a very nice wine , cold side , w oysters . $ 6 . 98 . a winner to complement my House table white : TJ's Costal Chardonnay

@Dejah nice. leaning back in my chair , forgoing my computer glasses .. I first say " AI dressed congee ... ' and thought why not ?

Eggs @ TJ's were $ 3.49 doz large white. that's a dollar cheaper than MarketBasket. very unusual. the TJ's display was full , but about 1/2 the size of the usual offering.

@JoNorvelleWalker Id relate the fineness of the grind to the panade you plan to add. coarser might benefit from more panade , finer less. have not tested this out myself, as such given the pre-ground turkey , from various sources , was fixed coarseness more panade gave me a finer finished ML. i.e. dont forget the panade , it makes a difference in the ML independently of the grind

@gfweb Id be very happy w Once. with the possibility of twice to be determined I completely agree , Crabs need work . and a lot of it . in the kitchen . Before service. same as lobxster. in CA , Id get the dungeness crabs , from Coo'ks seafood already perfectly cooked , and spread the newpaper out ion the table and work them through . save the meat for something else back then I didnt use the shells for stock. only so much ' fishy ' in the morning Id say . but that was ' Stock Lost '

@C. sapidus my mouth is watering . Ive never had BC's as you describe. a big loss I think. BC's were featured several times in ' Homicide : Life in the Streets ' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106028/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_homicide I liked the little hammers they used. and , of course in ' The Wire ' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1 The Bunk liked the ' mustard ' in a memorable scene . slurped in right down , or what might have been ' mustard , on the set.

@gfweb looks like the trip was worth it for the Omikase

green bell peppers . ripe is fine, cooked celery , a texture thing. celery flavor is fine. liver cooked as a steak . there is a reason its usually cooked w onions and bacon. ' chopped liver ' Jewish deli style. Pate , in all forms is a different story.

Market Basket today : $ 4.49 // doz Large white full display. about twice normal.

@TicTac enjoyed Todd Wibur's books His videos are hilarious : dumpster diving for Info on KFC etc. worth a peek if you can find them

@weinoo the finest . If Benton's has hocks . and you can only find out telephonically worth the cost ( they are probably about $ 2.00 a lbs , maybe $ 2.49 ) and the shipping for sure .

decided to do some restocking w Benton's https://www.bentonscountryham.com https://shop.bentonscountryham.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=hscb in the past , they sometimes have Hocks for sale , but only if you call. and are lucky I called , and they indeed did have hocks , so I got 4. they also sell their bacon by the individual packs rather than sets of 4 , as on-line. so I got 6 packs. I use them for seasoning mostly , so they should last for some time. I freeze the packs. I cut the packs in 1/2 and Vac them , and freeze. I take the bacon I want out of those packs , slice thinly across the whole amount and use that way . then re-vac and badk in the freezer : 6 lbs. Hocks : the hocks come wrapped in butcher paper and sliced in 4 . they varied from 800 gms to 1 kg. sold by the lbs. vac'd and Ill freeze. thinking about taking the meat off one of the large hocks and freeing just the meat. delicious stuff . excellent flavor and quite potent.
