Cut up my chickens into parts. Either my knife is dull or chicken is old because it was a chore. Hope it's just my knife.

We've got a great set of German made Henkels included is a cleaver and kitchen shears. Of course we have two chef's knives.
You are welcome to use any of our kitchen wear. Oh hell, mi casa es tu casa.

Your casa is a bit far from mine.

I keep knives sharp. And they are very good quality. Maybe due for honing.

I saw an Alton Brown episode of Good Eats where he discussed sharpening and honing your knives.

It was meant as a show of feelings. That's the way my family is. About 60 years ago my father wrote a check paid to my aunt and uncle in the amount of one Million dollars. He was a brick layer and never made that much money in his entire life. In the memo he wrote "The value of my feelings". I am very much like my father.

I will take the million dollars!

Now that you can hold food, thinking of sending you a little something.

If I had an extra Million dollars lying around I would spend it on your wedding and honeymoon.

First shot at Detroit style pizza turned out well. I just did the King Arthur flour recipe online. Lots of potential with this style. Cheese on the left, bbq with leftover flank steak in the middle and mushrooms on the right. I ate some before I remembered to take a picture.

In the flurry of dinner party, totally forgot to take pictures.

Grilled beef ribs, Bush maple flavor baked beans, homemade potato salad and iced tea with a wedge of lemon. What's better.

No dessert?

Homemade vanilla ice cream with peaches on top would be outstanding.

Got a dutch oven, lets see how this goes. Not sure what to try to cook in it first, maybe do some chicken adobo

The trick is to get your wife to look under the covers, while your cooking one up, then tickle her as you wrap the covers over her head so she has to breath it all in.

If you like rustic bread they are great for that. They create a microenvironment that hold steam in and gives a near professional crust. Next best thing to a high end bread oven.

I am planting a peach tree next spring. I make ice cream.

Should I bake a cream cheese pound cake or a chocolate sour cream pound cake? Hey, @Lanny would you like a pound cake?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Too many beans, eh, Sly?

I don't like cheesecake, Make a nice bundt.

 

[crandc]

Cream cheese pound cake is not cheesecake.

 

[ABM]

It's the cream cheese thing, I guess. Either way, knock yourself out.....whatever you choose. I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

Paella.

 

[MickZagger]

Beef stew on the menu tonight, babies!

 

[crandc]

Tonight's menu, garden salad, chicken under a brick with pesto, smashed potato, roasted vegetables and banana bread for dessert.

So I have completely given in to being obsessed with pizza. Today is a new style for me, Sicilian Style pie. It's a sheet pizza, similar to what you get on the street in Italy, where they cut it, weight it and reheat it. It looks like lunch lady pizza from middle school. Using ATK bread illustrated recipe for the dough, it has a lot of semolina flour in it, which should give it a nice crust.

Paella.

Been awhile since I've done Paella but here is my go to recipe. Super easy, I like linguica sausage but chorizo or andouille works great also. If you don't like seafood you can sub chicken or use both. You also don't really need aborio rice, any will do.

Since you got me thinking Paella it reminded me of one of my favorite meals in Barcelona. It was simple but brilliant. Fill a bowl half way with steak fries, cover with chorizo and top with an over easy egg. It is the breakfast of champions!

I don't like pound cake unless it has sugar macerated strawberries and plenty of sweet, vanilla flavored whipped cream on top. I like Oregon strawberries and real whipped cream. My wife always insist I eat that crappy whipped cream out of a can.
NY cheesecake with macerated cherries on top is out of sight.
It's not easy for me to cook stuff but I wanted to send you some chocolate fudge. I eat my fudge with anywhere between five and ten times as much nuts as the recipe calls for.
Up until I got out of college I never got to eat really delicious food so now I can afford it and consequently go all out. I no longer have to eat venison, beef liver, breakfast cereal, chicken noodle soup out of a can, artificial vanilla flavoring, overcooked salmon and a host of other crap my mother made me eat. One time we even had homemade chili made with horse meat.

Here are the results of my Sicilian pizza experiment. Turned out really good and it was super easy, I will definitely be making it again. The crust was really good also, the semolina flour gave it a soft texture and nice flavor.
