That's pretty. I really don't know much about kitchen brands as I have been doing it all by hand all my life. I was just thinking of the time it would save if I didn't have to.

Ive been doing research for awhile. Since the divorce (ex took every rotten kitchen appliance she could get her grubby hands on) I have been doing everything by hand. The girlfriend has picked up a few machines she sees when she goes junking with her Mother, but I've burnt every one up. I trust Kitchen aid mixers .. other products? not so much. Their mixers are quite substantial in price, but you can find one new for $230 that is better than anything you'll find out there.. I'm just into overkill... check this one out.

I don't know why, but I just don't like the glass bowls..

 

[Misshotndeep]

Thank you for all the info and suggestions folks. Lots to look into.

I don't know why, but I just don't like the glass bowls..

I've never used the glass bowl, but I can imagine for stuff like whipped cream where I throw the whisk and bowl into the freezer to keep everything nice and cold, it wouldn't be as effective.

As opposed to stainless? My one fear is that I like to drink while I'm cooking.. or sometimes cook while I'm drinking.. so a glass bowl gives me visions of having shards of glass picked out of my feet at 2am..

Did someone say mixers?

I had an old Mixmaster that I bought for my mother just before she died. It lasted for almost 35 years. The mixer still worked but the stand finally gave way.

My new one is the Cuisinart with the 7-quart stainless steel bowl. It's perfect for the yearly batch of cookie dough that I make.

It would look better with a flame job.

Wonder if Alton Brown got that from them or they stole it from his show.. He's had it on there since the first episode.

My Kitchenaid is old enough to be labeled Hobart. So is my first model-year dishwasher. Which, I think, was when the brand Kitchenaid was coined.

Mine is somewhere between white and almond and badly needs these stickers:

Dollar Taco Night tonight at the greasy spoon so to conteract that i aimed for a small salad. A few of this and a few of that and suddenly I have an entire meal which was not the goal.

I tried Sinny's tip about the dijon while I was making a vinaigrette but not the actual whisk. I am going to have to root through storage and dig out my collection of little mixing bowls. The former roommate kept taking all of his kitchen stuff to his brother's and not returning. Now he and his girlfriend are at his brother's with his stuff, and I need to stock the kitchen.

I am stuffed now, and have no room for tacos. I will be hungry for them later.
Do I buy them now and eat them soggy, or risk going later and having them run out?

At first glance I thought the carrots were little pieces of hot dog... I was all "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" ... then I whipped the allergies from my eyes.

Going to have to tend this Chile Verde for another hour or so.

Ends and pieces of prime rib, a chunk of pork, 1/2 a t-bone steak. I put in Bermuda onion and sweet peppers for color.

I am going to chill it in the refrigerator and skim off the rendered fat. There is a LOT in this batch.

Meanwhile I spooned some of the sauce over potato chips, fat and all. Might be the least healthy thing I have done in a long while. Fat is delicious.

All the recipes for this I have seen use tomatillo's.
What can be substituted, as we can't get them?

Not even canned? This batch I cheated and used canned green enchilada sauce. I can no longer find plain, canned, crushed tomatillos even her in the American Southwest. Even in grocer stores that catre to Hispanics. I get blank looks when I ask for them. Apparently I was the only one buying them.

Tomatillos are in the same family as tomatoes but do not ripen and turn sweet. I wonder if you could try small, green tomatoes. Most people cannot tolerate raw green tomato. It causes stomach cramps, cook they are fine as in fried green tomatoes. The dish not the movie. Pookie should have been in the movie or at least taken part in the BBQ.

Is it just your area or all of Australia that doesnt grow them? I have a friend that expatriated himself to Oz and lives in the middle of nowhere. It looks a lot like Arizona. Maybe I should mail him some seeds.

One of those, "why haven't I tried that before" moments.

Kohlrabi. Instruction in the recipe said "peel" outer leaves which was misleading. There are no inner leaves. When I make a stir-fry, I stretch the broccoli and make some fun shapes by stripping the outer layer of the stalks and then slivering the crisp, tender, inner portion. This is exactly like that.

I then grated it along with some carrots and decided to add Bermuda onion and sweet peppers. While looking for a dressing recipe, I came across a kohrabi/apple slaw recipe so I tossed in an apple. I sliced it really thin and only used the outer portion of the apple for the color.

For dressing a just whisked (with an actual whisk) some honey, Dijon mustard, some Balsamic vinegar, and I was out of olive oil so in desperation I used canola, but it was fine.

Delicious.

I had two more bulbs. If I had known what they were like inside, I would have diced that into my chile verde stew instead of potato(e).

My wife made these this weekend, tasty, and as pretty as can be.

The Apple Roses were good too.

I'm going to make those! Much thanks for the recipe.

 

[doowdniw]

That looks delicious. Going to have to give them a try.

I'm making elk jerky and the house smells good enough to eat.

Last night I made a Javanese Fish Kare, but we ate it all before I could get a picture!
Coconut-based and the fish was super sweet.

 

[Lorilei]

I planted a big ass herb garden this weekend. Trying some new ones this year (hot and spicy oregano, pineapple sage, lemon thyme, purple basil), along with the normals. I'm pretty excited.

So for my son's 10th birthday I grilled a ribeye and three filet mignon. Steamed king crab legs and made baked potatoes. Ugh. So much food. We have a fruit tart, a triple chocolate mousse, and a vanilla-berry crème brulee for dessert. Someone roll me to bed.
