I have a Benchmade S30V folder I take to Chosera 800 grit and it's plenty sharp.

I was impressed by this Japanese girl who reminisced about her mom's curry dish. I bought some of the curry she used, S&B Oriental Curry Powder - it is very good and I recommend it! I made lamb curry with rice I made in a new Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy® Rice Cooker ( Christmas gift ). FANTASTIC meal,...

Still trying to finish Christmas brunch treats...



For today's lunch, a roast beef and Swiss cheese on toasted Sourdough bread, sprouts, Sauerkraut, grapes, Italian olives and Piquante peppers.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Something different: I wrapped a bag of small South American Potatoes - purple and red flesh - in perforated foil mostly cooking on the grill for a nice smokey wood flavor. This morning I fried them in butter/olive oil and garlic. Fried two eggs over easy in the remaining brown garlic butter and cut...

I like this season of the year. The women gathering and making tamales for the family. This mornings breakfast: pork tamales, fried potatoes and onions and three eggs over easy.

I had a hankering for (Cranberry) Red Beans and Rice with Chorizo...

It has been 80 degrees here in Southern California in December! ( not complaining ) The cherry tomatoes are still giving. Any chance you've seen anything like this in the sky lately? https://www.chefknivestogoforums.com/download/file.php?id=17524&mode=view --- These chemtrails have been sprayed...

I'll look into them but it could be a while because I have already made an order for some polishing stones. I do remember hearing that these give a much finer polish than the grit rating would suggest as they are loaded with polishing compounds. If I were to replace a "standard" 6k polish...

Check out the Naniwa Super Stones <<. They are IMO the best synthetic stone for polishing. Follow with diamond on balsa strop << if you want to take it further.

Biryani & white rice and Wagyu ground beef with home-grown tomatoes!

I’m looking for a blade that will not require stone sharpening as much as my current go-to for green onions...I prefer japanese handles but I value functionality above everything. Gyuotos, santoku, kiritsukes, and nakiris are all welcome, I just need something that will mow through wet herbs with e...

Google failed me. What’s a Donba?

Sorry, had Bomba on the brain - should be Donabe <<.

Lamb Curry, a truly international dish It started with some New Zealand lamb braised ( slow cooked three hours ) in Indonesian Rendang Curry in black clay pot from Columbia with onion, home-grown lemongrass and Kaffir lime leaf (from California ) and coconut milk and flake from Sri Lanka on a bed of...

Pulled pork fried in pork fat (Carnitas), caramelized pickled red onion and roasted maple syrup rutabaga topped with sour cream

My wife and I make roasted Curry cauliflower & roasted broccoli once a week, I will try a little grated cheese on the broccoli next time. Nice caramelization on the cauliflower!! --- Thanks. They both taste good streamed, but roasting gives it that char flavor that is quite tasty. We also like ...

Broccoli and cauliflower are in season and so I roasted up Curry Cauliflower...



and Roasted Broccoli with grated hard cheese: aged Italian Pecorino Romano on top of roast pork and rice...

I have two Heiji knives: one a 210mm Sujihiki in semi-stainless and a 240mm iron-clad carbon. I have thought about thinning both of them but chose not to. Heiji knives are similar to Shigefusa in that they are on the thick side and wedge in dense product but the shoulders are steep and cut so well a...

Be thankful! Have a great day all.

Will do Sam. Should arrive just ahead of the Christmas holidays so hopefully will find some time to give it a good test. I have at least 3 knives that would benefit from some thinning!! --- Yes, give us an honest review. Wonder if it is like the Nub150: fast cutting but very thirsty and prone to di...
