Beets in a salad.

 

What’s going on there? I strongly do not care for beets, but I want to enjoy them - trying at every turn.

I see cilantro, olives, and S&P, but the beans and dressing?

No beans. Most of the salt is from the olive brine. Plus shallots. Lime. That’s it. Let it marinate.

 

I had that almost 2 years ago today. 2.5 lbs of pure joy.

 

Beef Nach...at least you got some veggies. hahahha

 

The way I cook beets is to wash them, wrap them in foil with salt, pepper, olive oil and put them in the oven. Much like roasting garlic. cook them to fork tender and peel while still hot.

Golden beets and striped beets don't bleed there colour and the striped beet are visually cool.

Ex used them raw in the vitamix for her juice smoothy things, raw they taste like dirt.

 

I guess she liked the tofu, since she made it again already.

 

I like beets. The nice thing about them is you can just nuke the hell out of them in the microwave to cook them. They dont care.

 

Hated them pretty much too. Love them now though. Peeled then fried with olive oil garlic S+P. The fresh greens are very good too.

 

First time I've made bread from a poolish. Damn, I can't believe how soft and flavourful the crumb is.

A few lessons learned to change for next time.

 

I've wanted to do this forever.

 

Which do you use most?

 

For me (not him) it’s my 3” pairing knife. I misplaced it once, got a 4” and bitched for a year before I went and got a 3”. I promptly found my missing one. I gifted the 4” and have two 3”.

 

Mac, then the Lamson, then the Maxam. I dont use paring knife that often.

 

For me, 10" chef and 6" slicer almost for everything.

I have some speciality knives I take out when appropriate, those two knives live on by cutting board.

 

Wait, I didn’t know I got to rank… I thought it was most used.
I have a 5” Santoku and a 6” Chef that are my next two most used.

A baked potato the size of the space shuttle

I was planning to eat the whole potato, I got half way through that half and called off the second half still on the stove leftovers for tonight, basically having the same exact thing.
