'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes. You can use real figs, but then you have to add sugar. I can get you the recipe I used later today to compare with the recipe I'm guessing you dug up somewhere else.
I still really want this recipe Sean. Please?
I've tried the smashing garlic with a knife thing, and I just can't do it. Pretty much anything that involves using the flat of a blade is beyond me.
I can't do it either. I'm glad I am not the only one.
And they got to help a family friend!
I was once that friend for 3 wonderful (read: horrible) weeks.
But those shears do kick ass. I like the bread knife we have too.
That is a cool trick! I will adopt is as my own.
In other news, I have been to Sephora
I made it to Sephora last night despite the sudden attack of rain. As usual, I spent too much money.
Seriously, try the ulu. The amount of control is amazing.
It's so exotic-sounding, as well. And looks like some sort of Nepalese weapon.
It's a pretty damn cool knife, is all I'm sayin'.
One thing the DH does is cut the top off of frozen veggie bags, and then uses the plastic strip he cut off to tie shut the reclosed bag.
That is effin' brilliant.
I still really want this recipe Sean. Please?
Oh yes! We're out the door on an errand, but I will post here and/or email the recipe later today.
I'm off to eat something garlicky for lunch.
Confession: I don't really like garlic that much in most things. I LOVE onions, though.
There is, however, a place in Somerville called EVOO (opened way before Rachael Ray ruined that acronym for everyone)
Which is on the same block as DALI which knows a thing or two about big garlic flavors. Insert Homer Simpson drool noise here.
The shears - Cutco- come apart and are dishwasher safe.
The Cutco shears are awesome. We have a set of Cutco knives, but I really need to send them in to be resharpened. They are like two decades old.
