    I see a pretty huge problem with that shepherd's pie.

    It is not in my mouth.

    So anybody got any good ideas for soups using split bone in skin on chicken breasts? I am leaning something from Eastern Europe due to me having made Dark Rye bread this weekend and have a few loaves made, along with some good butter to go on it. Now I just need an idea for a soup recipe.

    I got carrots, onions, and celery, just not super sure on the rest and on what herbs/flavors to use.

    You don’t even need a slow and sear, I don’t use briquettes, but you can just set them up as with the snake method and get good consistent temps.

    I mean you can get a slow and sear and use charcoal (and it will get up better results) but I think it’s important for people to know how little stuff you actually need and that you can get going for next to nothing.

    So I bought one of those neat little ceramic graters, for ginger and garlic (mostly ginger). And it says on the thing not to use metal objects on it. Which, yeah, sure, I wouldn't want to break the pointy bits that grate, but...how the eff am I supposed to get the good stuff out otherwise? With my finger, like a PEASANT? idgi. Are there even teeny-tiny silicone scrapers for sth like this?

    it's one of those, if you're unfamiliar.

    Oh I probably haven't been clear - it's not about cleaning, so far just rinsing it with dishwashing soap cleans it perfectly (but you're right, I have a soft toothbrush for that purpose), don't even need to brush it, it's more about getting the "product", the grated bits, out of the outer ring which catches it

    Pretty much what I've been doing. There are, apparently, baby spoons made out of silicone though...which could be fun. And cute. and I wouldn't have a garlic finger.

    @el_vicio Try toothpicks, or sharpened chopsticks

    Edit: oh, I thought you meant getting stuff out of the gratey bits, not the outer ring. Well, a wooden spoon could also work, though you might have to use the end of the handle rather than the spoony part.

    You gonna ferment that, Pimento? Or just use it as-is?

    I highly recommend home fermenting chillies to make hot sauce, the flavour is just incredible. And you get spicy brine as a side product, which can be used to season eggs, avocado toast etc. or be an addition to a super tasty bloody mary.

  • pimentopimento she/they/pim Registered User regular
    I’ve not looked into how to do that and this was a spur of the moment thing, so I’ll be using this as is. I do plan to do some fermenting at some point though.

    Onions and garlic will absofuckinglutely make dogs sick or potentially seriously harm them.

    Only if they eat them, smelly finger will not do more than annoy them.

    Internet suggests the threshold for toxicity of allium family plant material in dogs is 0.5% of their body weight ingested. So yeah don't let them eat onion or garlic, but keep your stinky garlic finger.

    I think it's probably dependent on the dog too

    My dog once ate a pound of bakers chocolate and a box of bisquick and all it did to him was make him poop fluffy bricks for a week

    dumb ol dog (he made it to 16 and I miss him terribly)

    I don't like any kind of smell on my fingers. I really hate peeling mandarines for that reason as well, although that's mostly due to the weird stickiness of the citrus oil

    and garlic is so persistent -.-

    smelling like citrus after eating a mandarin orange is one of my favorite parts

    I don't fuck with full-size oranges, removing all the cruft is just too much hassle, gimme those li'l guys.

    Are Cuties mandarins or tangerines? Because I love those.

    You guys ever fuck with a pomelo?

    The thing that was probably cross bread with oranges to first make grapefruit?

    The rind/pith is gigantic, but you get these citrus wedges that are probably 2-3 mandarin oranges by volume and they taste a whole lot better than grapefruits, and I even like grapefruit

    Pomelo, it's good eatin

    I prefer pomelo to grapefruit but I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit so the bar is pretty low tbh.

  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    We made a pomelo sherbet over the summer that was just transcendent, it's good fruit.

    A trick for anyone concerned about smelly garlic fingers: use said smelly fingers to carefully and thoroughly scrub the sides of the blade of your chef knife with soap and water. Ta-da! Smell gone. Works on the same idea as those bar soap-shaped bits of metal people have for this very purpose. Might not work with certain knife metal compositions, iunno, I ain't a biometallurgist

    I like grapefruit juice because sometimes the only way to improve something else is by making it taste a little bit like barf

  • TynnanTynnan seldom correct, never unsure Registered User regular
    I really like making grapefruit cordials. Peel a grapefruit and bury the peel in a cup of sugar overnight in the fridge. The sugar will leach out the oils. The next day, dissolve the oily sugar with water and the juice from that grapefruit, plus the juice of a lime. Add a bit of salt. Boom, delicious cordial. Great in cocktails or mixed with sparkling water.
