What's Cookin?

I had no idea how expensive those knives were until I started shopping for one last year. Ended up being cheap and getting an 80 dollar Misen chef knife but I could see how easy it would be to spend a few grand on knives
Yup! I like to cook and having sharp knives is invaluable. When I bought the knives I was lucky enough to have friends that knew recommend what to buy. At the time I thought they were overpriced not knowing anything about knives but I trusted my friends advice and, 25 years later, I'm glad I made that decision.
 
I’m usually not one to plug wares but we have had a set of cutco knives since 1987 still using them today - pricy but 35 years strong
My knife-selling career lasted from the beginning of summer 1977 until three or so weeks later, when I ran out of relatives and friends. Some still won't take my calls. I then started a multi-summer career of low-man-on-the-totem-pole on construction sites.

The full set was about $360 back then. You had to buy a set in order to sell them, but that was only about $140.
 
Made stir fry tonight.
Blackened chicken, corn, french cut green beans, green peppers, minced garlic, pipette pasta, and teriyaki sauce.
Didnt even think to take a picture but damn were they fkn good.
Blackened chicken was spicy as fk but delicious
 
hotter the better!!!! i like spicy stuff... like real spicy!! not all the time or on every meal or anything but once i while i get that itch!!
after you get past the pain of the heat there is a euphoria feeling that is like no other!!!

Yeah man, i love spicy stuff too, my insides, not so much.
I really enjoy anything spicy when i have a cold. Really clears out them sinuses and lets ya breathe again lmao
 
Whenever I get sick a double shot glass full of tequila with lemon and honey warmed in the micro gets me out of bed the next morning.
Hmmm. That actually sounds delicious dude. Ive got some tequila and honey here too, just no lemon lol.

I know it sounds like just an excuse to get hammered but, at least for me, it works. I do it right before I go to bed. Does it cure me? No, but I can at least function and get what I need to get done the next day.

Try it and see if it works for you. Whatever citrus will work. I've used orange juice in a pinch. Like a medicated margarita shot!!!:LOL:
 
Around these parts even the honey is hot! 🔥🐝 I don't consider blackened seasoning hot but maybe zesty with a Cajun kick to it. We use it on chicken, shrimp, and fish.
A blackened mahi mahi sammy is about as good as it gets but tilapia and catfish also do well. Blackened salmon is good but it don't belong on bread. That's worse than beans in chili.😋

I'm a trained pan flinger if anyone wants to talk food, share recipes, cooking tips or advice etc. I got you.
What is the correct amount of ground flower per serving spaghetti sauce? 1g per serving sound about right?

I find that big jar at Costco but it seems hot honey is everywhere in the South and very popular after Nashville Hot Chicken got so popular.
Amazon has a lot of brands, even Danny Trejo has a hot honey out now but it's spendy compared to the jar at Costco. I only pay $15 for it there and get 2x the bottle size compared to the small $20 bottles on amazon.
 
man, late nights i get caught up looking at japanese knives. i won't buy em until the lady shows she can take care of expensive gear. she's ruined two pans from the $700 stainless steel cookware set I bought two years ago -- a cookware set that's supposed to last 20 years in residential use. like hell if i'm gonna spend $1k on a knife set and have her fuck them up too.
If you ever get the chance to buy them go with the ones made by Masamoto Sohonten. Those are the ones I have and they are amazing. I've never had to reprofile them and a few minutes on the wet stone was all that is needed to keep them razor sharp.
 
that rooster sauce is such a staple!!! last time i ran out i couldn't get any and bought this instead... turns out i actually like it better!!!

Back up sources are a must on the Rooster sauce! It's so popular it's often sold out and the store has buying limits on the stuff like during the covid years and chicken wings! It's nuts!

Diamondback is my main backup and when I'm feeling sporty I go to a local hot sauce maker at the Farmer's Market and buy their offering.
I'd also like to get into making it. I think the recipe is actually basic and ez to do. Just need a lot of peppers

Valentina hot sauce and honey is our go to.
 
i have some german knives that my keeper bought me for christmas about five years ago that used to be amazing. made the mistake of letting a few people other than myself use them, and they're done for now. need them fully reprofiled because apparently being taught how to use a sharpening stick has been lost with time. my 10" chef's knife is a joke now, and the 6" slicing knife is the only one with enough of an edge that i can use it.

they're still better than most of what I try to use at other people's houses though. once you have good cutlery, and know how to use it, the difference using other normies gear is night and day.

A good set of wet stones will bring the edge back. Steel is for day to day tuning up of the edge, but only effective for a while depending on use etc. I use 1000 and 6000 grit followed by leather strop. If the steel sucks it's not going to hold and edge long no matter.
If your worried about handling I'd go with german stainless like Wusthof classic because that shit takes abuse. There are also decent inexpensive knives like the Victorinox fibrox. I use them for my bread knives, filet and slicers and they do just fine.
 
Hoping to be making some venison chili in the next 2 weeks 🙏🏼
Fingers crossed that saturday ends the season for me lol.
My wife does venison in the slow cooker with an onion gravy. Seasoned nicely lots of pepper of course. Serves that with mashed potatoes omg Frickin delicious 🤤 Good luck on Saturday bud
 
Like oks delicious man!
When I took that picture the gravy had been simmering for about an hour. After I took the snap I added in some Chianti that I had opened and was drinking while I was cooking. Simmered for a couple more hours to reduce it down some more and ladled it over some al dente spaghetti. Topped it off with some Reggiano Parmesan grated off the block and some garlic bread.

Italian night at the Rulers Cooler!!!🤪

CHE BELLO!!!😋
