ChiefsPlanet - Food and Drink What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)

It's traditionally wheat-fallow-wheat country but in the 90s no-till took root and allowed for sorghum and corn. But it's far from optimal for anything. There is a very specific reason farm ground in Iowa sells for $20,000 an acre and out here it is $1,800.

That's just here though. As you move east there is significantly more rainfall. I read somewhere that there is more rainfall variation from the state line to Wichita than from Wichita to the Atlantic Ocean.

Hmmm, I always wanted to see those wheat fields out there. Ya' know "amber waves of grain?" Hope they're not all gone.

Do you work the food into foreplay or the actual act of sex?

Now don't pile on you other folks who have that tendency.

I think I'll just cover them the way I do my baby-back ribs.

Really dude? At only $40 I couldn't pass it up. The demo was pretty convincing.

Buy a complete set of Cutco knives. I've had mine for 15 years and they still look brand new. They also come out once every year and sharpen them for free.

No way I'm spending $1000 on knives. ROFL

Went to all the local farmer's markets today. The winner of the day... some chuck eye steaks and marrow bones from the American Wagyu grower in Selma. :rockon:

Tonight I'm doing some thick cut pork chops with wild mushrooms, served with petite carrots and creamy grits. Tomorrow will be the Wagyu.

Yeah I've had my WGPs for several years at $40. I don't intended on replacing them anytime soon. Spending that much just boggles my mind unless you're very wealthy.

Well I guess we know the dough Lonewolf gets to play with. I would never do that either. I don't have anything so tough that an ok knife set couldn't cut.

Just buy a knife sharpener if you're having issues. People get carried away with shit like this. You don't need top of the line products to put out great food.

BOOM. You are so spot on in this thread it makes me wonder how you can post all the other shit you do on this site.

We have a Fiestawear knife set like the one below because my wife loves Fiestaware for some ****ing reason. Better knives than others I've owned but still not super great. Sharpen them up and they do pretty damn good though.

And the knife I reach for most often is the $40 Victorinox. It holds an edge as good as any I've ever had, balance is beautiful, and the grip is great.

The sharper the knife, the safer it is to work with. I like having quality knives though I don't have Cutco. I have professional-grade Wusthof knives but not a complete set. Don't need all of them. So I think it's worth it to invest in at least one good chef's knife or even a paring knife. You can add bread and other ones as you go to make it easier to pay for.

My brother bought can opener for $40 at Williams and Sonoma and I still have mine I bought from the dollar store. It's the one that opens the cans with a dull edge so you won't get cut. I've had it for 7 years now.
