Well damn, looks like an extended workout will happen in the morning.

Did you take your child out with you to dinner?

Got a really great knife set at Sam's Club today. Also came with a set of steak knives.

Of course I did

Poverty knives.

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

Billy Mays couldn't sell those cheap things. Never heard of FOREVER SHARP

Nice. My parents said the first year I would scream blood murder in any restaurant when they tried to go out. No reason, but seriously loud screaming that didn't stop until they left. They didn't try going out with me again until I was 2.

Just go to the sauna, it'll melt whatever's clogging the passages to the heart.

So did he enjoy the breastmilk or formula?

You mean you were better behaved in the Terrible Two's? My THAT's a first!

My dinner tonight.
 

Or he could do like I did for dinner tonight—for a few days!
Also, had my kale smoothie too. Pic previously posted.

He slept the entire time

Goddamn I wish I could find produce like that.

Wut? I can't believe you said that. You don't have cucumbers, red peppers, grape tomatoes and sweet potatoes (squares) in farm country?

The black olives came in a can from Costco though.

That will be temporary. Did the car ride put him under? It usually does.

I have them. They don't look like that.

There are 3,000 people in my county. It's understandably difficult for grocers to appropriately stock perishables to my liking.

Also, I wouldn't call where I am "farm country". Average rainfall is 16" with remarkably low humidity, when coupled with the absurd temperatures in the growing season lead to ridiculous evapotranspiration rates. Accordingly, farmers markets and the like are more difficult to establish and sustain.

Hmmm, interesting. Is that kind of environment good for growing wheat?
Isn't that what is mainly grown out there?

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.

I'm going to make her meat loaf probably today. She's so damn hot and I love how she says her last name. I should have added a sexy woman's voice in the fetish thread.

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

Come out. I'll show you wheat.

Don't you guys ignore Laura Vatali

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

Asking for a friend.

Marathon of BBQ Pitmasters is on right now!!!

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.

I'm a knife junkie, and admittedly have spent large sums of money on some great knives. I've got a couple $100 knives; I have a small set of handmade Japanese blades that are awesome, both in aesthetic and performance.

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.

That actually looks like a decent set I would use. Buying expensive knives is like buying an expensive can opener, there's no need for it. 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.

I can agree with this and I'm very interested in the knife FMB just posted. I don't mind spending $40 on a chefs knife at all.

Well, she definitely likes festive colors. Must be a colorful gal you married!

My mom and dad bought me a set of Wusthof knives for our wedding.

They kick ass.

Is this a good deal? It includes free shipping.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...1d7d4c6429.jpg

Buy it broseph.

That's the one.

Keep in mind, it's sharpened to a 15-degree angle (vs. 22 for the Wusthoff you have), so unless you're hand sharpening, you won't want to use a device designed for Western-style knives.

I just bought it. I should have it before Monday. I have Wolfgang Pucks, it's all good thanks for the sharpening tip though.

That's what I meant. Still a Western-style blade, so 22-degree angle. Sharpen the Victorinox at 22 degrees, and you'll ruin the blade.

If you have Eastern and Western style blades, this is a great investment: http://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Choice-A...PHNA9H4S0SDJK4

Now make sure you learn the right cutting skills—like rocking the blade. Martha Stewart has some knife skill tutorials on-line. It's good to learn and it protects your hands too.

I bought my best-performing knife at Wal-Mart! Not that I have anything "high end" in terms of knives, and even use the sharpener in the can opener to sharpen them all, but I sharpen them before every use, and they cut very well (for that use at least)...

I spent a little over $1,000 fifteen years ago and I haven't had to buy another knife since and I've haven't spent one second sharpening any of these knives. So far that works out to about $70 a year and that number will continue to fall. I'll probably own these knives for at least another 20 years.

This is one thing that really burns me up.

I just saw another "food expert" explain that prime rib is USDA prime beef. Even the "smart" people are stupid. The "prime" in prime rib has nothing to do with the USDA grading of beef. It's called prime rib because it's cooked as a "primal" cut. Can prime rib be from USDA prime beef? Absolutely. Can prime rib be from USDA choice beef? Absolutely.

Vent over.

I had this same argument around Christmas with someone on here.

This thread is making me hungry :p

Gonna make meatloaf and some garlic mash potatoes.


I'm using Laura's Vitale's recipe I posted except I added 1 TSP of cayenne pepper to the glaze. Sweet and spicy :thumb:

I have two American Wagyu chuck eye steaks salting.

She needed shank sharpening skills in the big house

Burger, whole grain gluten free bun
Sauteed, diced onion, minced garlic, organic zucchini and diced red peppers.
Salad with blue cheese crumbles and creamy blue cheese dressing.
Beer.


Appetizers: half teh SO's beet smoothie, had half of my kale smoothie.

I was put on the Miserable User List for some immature comments about our offseason, so I doubt I'll be able to post pics.


Please take me off the list and I'll be a good boy mods :thumb:

BTW, Laura's meatloaf is similar to my Mom's but ours is a bit more Italian. We use the Parmesan cheese but we add diced green peppers into her mix of egg, milk, crumbs and parsley. We also use some ground pork and veal. I thought it was interesting she used only beef. Her glaze is American. We used just tomato sauce on top. Sometimes my Mom would experiment and add cheese on top of the tomato sauce other times bacon. I usually steer away from sauces made with ketchup but I'd like to try her glaze since she cuts the sweetness down with tomato paste. Think I might give her whole recipe a try for a change with just beef...since the pork has the fat in in that she says dries a meatloaf.

The steaks were OK, but I've had just as good from the store. The one thing I'll give it, the little fat pockets that were there, just melted in your mouth. I don't regret doing it, but I probably wouldn't do it again.

The sauteed yellow and zucchini squash from the farmer's market were great.

And my wife's peach cobbler with peaches from the farmer's market is outstanding.

Made this:

http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/sam...icken-skewers#

Amusing level of heat. Would again.

How was the grilled squash? Looks tasty.

Good. Grilled squash coated with a bit of evo is a staple for us in the summer.

Try it sometime dusted with grated Parmesan.

I hated zucchini growing up because my folks would boil it into submission, and then dust it with Kraft Parm. Some good parmigiana would be a good addition.

You should bring this up in every thread you post in.

It's hard for me to post. It's like my phone connection was baked in AIDS, fried in Ebola and glazed with antifreeze lol.

Help a brotha out, start a movement.


Mr. Flopnuts if you can hear me, please free me!!!!!!!! Love you

I dug out the meat grinder tonight and made some really tasty ham salad.

Aldi spaghetti, prego traditional sauce and Hy-Vee breaded ravioli. I am fat and happy and didn't lift a finger other than to feed my face.

You uncultured heathen! I tried a sirloin burger from McDonald's today. No fries. I'm halfway to my 4 annual visits there.

Made a quick but homemade ginger carrot soup. Half slice of toast.

Because I had two slices of pizza for lunch. Oh my!

Those of you talking about knives, and not wanting to spend the money for a Cutco set (Great knives, by the way, and they've lasted in great shape since the '80's, for my family), might want to take a look at the Cook's Illustrated America's Test Kitchen a la carte knife set.

Should have got the fries! Kidding, but fries sound very good right now, even cold... Craving salt with the beer.

You ate your S.O. lunch? That's not nice.

Yeah. They sound good with the rum right now too! It's weird. Suddenly I'm eating like Michael Jordan because that burger is literally all I've had to eat today and I'm not remotely hungry. I'm actually growing a bit concerned about my lack of appetite. I've dropped over 30lbs over it and while at my size that's a good thing, it's odd. I've always had an appetite and I struggled to put that 1/3rd pounder down.

Dinner was a turkey. First, I popped the thighs out of joint. Then, I pulled the skin almost entirely from the carcass, in order to get a full rub on as much of the meat as possible. I rubbed in a thick paste of butter and seasonings, with lots of garlic, all over the inside, and outside of the bird.

At the end, I went with wine-infused pan drippings instead of a full gravy.

Delicious.

Good for you, keep on keeping on! I'm average size but I have a bigger neighbor, one of my best friends, somehow when I talk to you, I see him, you may be brothers.

We're really the best. Always judged so we rarely judge others. Everyone's got problems ya know?

Flopnuts help me out man. I was out on the miserable list. I would to have my rights back and I apologize for my actions!!!!!

Bro, I get it. I'm very public with the action I take. I didn't punish you. I was ready too, but someone else pulled that trigger. We have almost a ten man team. You asking people to start a movement on your behalf didn't help. The fact that no one did made it worse. The Mods consider you a troll And a hassle. You need to convince literally every single one of them to give you another chance. Sorry Bro. Not my site. I don't work alone. It's practically unanimous against you. Help me, help you.

It would be impossible to reach out to every mod. It takes me like 49 minutes for one post.


It's like my iPhone has been baked in AIDS, double dipped in Ebola and glazed with antifreeze. This is worse than gout

ROFL Don't troll and drive kids!!! I'm guessing that douche knowmo was zapped too.

No. I ate the one at the natural food supermarket without wheat when I shopped. They're very filling and are loaded with veggies on top and have more cheese than typical pizza.
