Awesome review. 50/50

[RAGER]

I must've used up all the achiote seeds. Couldn't find em so I just made carnitas instead.

Blah pic. Sorry.


The best tortillas ever

[RAGER]

Made a small batch of khua kling today to use for lunches this week. Minced pork with Thai red curry paste. A bit more turmeric because it's a southern Thai dish And quite spicy. Heavy on the kaffir lime and lemongrass.

Is there anything you cant do.

[RAGER]

I've never explored Indian cuisine. It just doesn't grab me. Not sure why. That's not a blanket statement but..... All other Asian food I can find something I like.

I'm a renaissance man.

My lovely assistant cuts onions like a fucking asshole.

[RAGER]

[mortlock]

Thats what she thinks she does but she just fucks my onions up. I want one cut down the center then i can make rings for sandwiches. She tries to pull that bullshit and fucks everything up. 

[Lumpy]

Rings are overrated. Really hard to keep them together if you're cooking them, you might as well forget it.

I like the cross-hatch technique in the video, I just do it 20 times slower.

[RAGER]

Cebollas cambray.

[Lumpy]

Is that a type of upholstered roof on an automobile?

[mortlock]

Youre not helping lumpy.

[Muffin Man]

Do you pound them flat first? Cuz I think that's the type you're looking for. Like schnitzel.

Now I did, Pounded, that works great! Overnight brined (thanks, Rager, another good tip) in fresh squeeze lemon juice and salt. Then soaked the cutlets in buttermilk for a couple hours before egg wash, fish fry coating, pan fry in peanut oil.

Two kinds of bowtie - hot w/sausage and cold w/canned salmon. Capers and peas. Lots of fresh squeeze lemon everywhere. Alfredo sauce (squeeze lemon in there too)

Served with chilled Chardonnay.

[RAGER]

Right on. Man I love pork.

[Lumpy]

Any pork in a storm.

[Muffin Man]

Pulled pork and schnitzel style. Or king of all, whole hog.
I did get a smoked knuckle, as recommened, add to steam pot cabbage, becomes savory pot
with help. MIso paste one factor..

I think I meant to say sesame paste. I did mean to say sesame paste.

So she burns the fuck out of the rice, even though she has ragers instructions. Then she eats some of the burnt rice and acts like its good. Makes me try some and i spit it out. Then she hits me with 'some cultures prefer their rice like this'. I give up.

[RAGER]

25-30 seconds high heat to dry off the bottom not burn it.

[renfield]

Tell her she's doing cultural appropriation

[RAGER]

Just buy a rice cooker I guess.

[Lumpy]

I need a rice cooker too. The pot I use always drips down the side, making a mess in the burner well.

[RAGER]

So does mine but I ain't buyin a rice cooker.

[Muffin Man]

I might end up buying one to make that black garlic renfeld posted a while back. Read somewhere you can make it with a rice cooker.
