I sharpen my knife with a fine file and can cut garlic so thin you can see thru it~!
As is proper. ;)

Me, I use DMT diamond plates from 325 to 8000.
If ya can't shave with it, it ain't sharp enough.

Nonetheless, I'm pretty impressed with this knife set for like $40....it may be made in China, but it's good German steel. Stuff rings like a bell...

My Preferred Chefs knife I use for almost everything is a New England Cutlery I bought at a 99¢ Store but came sharp as a Scalpel~! And I keep it that way.

Awesome. All my favourite spices in it too!
I couldn't cut up things that quick though without needing to go to the Drs to get bits glued or stitched back on or closed.
Me, knives and fast cutting is a recipe for disaster! :giggle:
Here given our love of shortening and simplifying the names of things, eg Kangaroo = roo, Magpie = magie (the P we find a bit too much) we'd probably call it "Shooka" though given time we'd shorten it after feeling overwhelmed by the A and just say "So I made some Shook last night mate" :)
On a serious note though that looks a great dish to make and a must try 👍

Made a pizza tonight. :)

Personal sized, I took half of a TJ's doughball and made this with spruced-up Bruschetta
sauce, MX and Italian cheeses, mushrooms, a few pepper bits, fresh basil, and sausage.

Pretty good, this particular dough didn't rise as well as I'd hoped, but it's ok.

Haha, I’ll be totally honest, I absolutely loved it and will make this a regular dish in my rotation. The only thing I would do differently is add a little bit of crushed red pepper or red chille.

On a forced health menu these days. Drs orders.
Misses made the grilled tomatoes and mushrooms look as best she could for breakfast.
20210307_094649(1).jpg

Dinner. I did a lean beef with celery, onions, garlic (hot paprika, black pepper, ginger and parsley) with beans carrot and peas topped with cauliflower.
The garlic I get from a bush area where an old dwelling used to be. Its the old fashioned single clove type. Milder than todays shop garlic. Nice.

Simple but healthy and tasty.

Got a new thing to me: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/croissant-crust-three-meat-pizza/

Sounded amazing, and it is. :D

Grok this:









I was dubious of how that could bake right with all that weight/moisture on it, but it really IS a Croissant crust, buttery and flaky. Crispy on the bottom too.

I removed and re-distributed the toppings as usual, cut the pepperonis in half, and added MX oregano, fresh jalapeno and onions, a little extra Italian cheese blend, and some garlic pepper. Used parchment paper under it too, and just on the rack in the countertop convection oven.

SO good. :pizza::D

Good to see Dinosaurs still roam the US. What'd you take it down with a 44/40!?

Nah these were on sale at King Kullen and when I saw them I said to myself I have to get some of these and sorry I didn't grab a few more~! They were so tasty and tender. I was pulling the eye off with a fork no need for a knife.

I dislike asparagus (and it don't like me much either), but those chops look divine!
I have a package of 'em too...and lots of cast iron.

Milly wont mind if I snag some of "her" meat...but just with Broccoli instead. ;)
Asparagus is definitely a love it or hate it vegetable.
that’s why the kids got broccoli and cheese with theirs.
thank you for the compliment though, they were stellar!

I love it. Always buy some when its available. One of those, to me, odd veggies that I almost feel doing me good when I eat it. Two others are artichoke hearts and buk choy. Its not like any of them have intense flavours either to me. Strange!

Anyway. Had Tasmanian Salmon with my misses vegie bake.

Just a fun way to make some dinner out of some tasty but boring TJ's AK pollock fish
sticks. :D

Fish stick sandwich on Rosemary bread with Provolone cheese.









Made a quasi-remoulade sauce out of mayo, Goya's excellent EVOO, dry dill, fennel fronds, garlic pepper, and chopped pickled garlic/cukes/habanero from a hot-mix I'd made long ago. Added a slice of Provolone and the Tony's Creole seasoned fishsticks and toasted it up.

Not fancy, but not bad. :D

Thx! :)

I'd wanted the fishsticks, but then got home and decided I wanted more than just tartar sauce and a plate of the sticks. So, this happened. That bread is so fragrant too, it's pretty fun. :)

I’ll have to try that one day. Think I’m going to do, French bread with some melted mozzarella and olive salad. But going to have to have that fish.
I love lent! It gives me a spiritual excuse to eat more seafood.

Well they came out amazing along with oven roasted Asparagus and a leftover rice pillof I spruced up with some fresh carrots and frozen peas. Recipe called for shredded Mozzarella but I used fresh. To me it makes the world of difference.

Sometimes random little things make me happy, this is one of them.

P1060037.JPG

Slicing a tough old lemon for a beer, didn't even try to cut it this thin but it was effortless with my new 5" Santoku.

I already had knives fully capable of that, but doing it with a new set and without even thinking about it...that is fun.

I like it. :)

Went to make chili beans and rice tonight then saw I didn't have any beef or the beans I
wanted, kidney and pinto beans. Just Turkey mince and borlotti beans.
So stuck to the plan and made Turkey Chili beans with brown basmati rice.
In with them brown onion, bush garlic, parsley, chopped carrot, hot cayenne pepper, black pepper, ginger, Holbrooks Worcestershire sauce and a chicken stock cube.
Misses made a nice potato, pumpkin, chick pea flower slice to go with it.
All went together pretty well really.

And for my little friends.
20210313_111700(1).jpg

Dehydrated for 7 hours.

The end result.

A perfect concentrated Worm Food. They demolish it within 1 week and thrive on it.
I think I look after them better than myself :giggle:
