Wait he did everything that Deadspin does. He was on point and I am sorry he was great. He attacked the status quo, he put his opinion out to there and didn't back down. He is insufferable at times but tonight he was in rare form and even though you did praise him at first now you have to take shots? Which is it? Was…

Heh I am weird but I actually enjoy raw onion.

Love Kalamata Olives but I can see how some may not. They are quite potent. Black olives however are an abomination against nature. Personally my big one is something a lot of people enjoy a ton. Salmon. It literally sets off a gag reflex in me. What is really odd about it is that I can cook some seriously good…

Yes. See my earlier comment. A few grates of nutmeg is more than welcome in this dish. People tend to forget spicing at the end to add a pop. Everyone wants to just dump everything in. Sad really.

No one makes Risotto in 15 minutes unless they are using the instant. And while as much as I do love fast Risotto, instant ones are a sin against nature and should never be spoken of again.

Dress sizes withstanding a woman that can appreciate Carbonara is a woman worth courting. (Sorry does being cheesy with old time words even work anymore?)

Damn that reminds me that I need to try that one. Been so busy getting the house ready for sale I had forgotten about it.

Yeah the use of lead in solder wasn't banned until 1986. And even now some copper piping can contain trace amounts of lead. Also sometimes the water line from the city may be lead as well.

I must applaud you for this. Reheated sweat socks would probably taste better than pasta cooked in unsalted water.

I'm baffled as well. Would any real Italian even use cilantro over flat leaf parsley? Not that even that should be added to this.

Nope. The only real thing about the salt is not to add it to the cold water because it could cause pitting in the pan. Right before you add the pasta add the salt it will be fine. Just don't be a heathen and leave the salt out. Unless of course you like bland tasteless noodles.

Well as much as I detest both I cannot in good conscience say they are the same thing. Especially if you are talking about Hominy grits.

Yeah you add all the the water/stock/broth at once. But for traditional it needs to be constantly stirred. With Risotto you can take breaks from the stirring by just gently shaking the pan.

Another good one Albert. The only thing I would add would be a few grates of nutmeg as you begin to toss everything together.

If the package is fully sealed just defrost in a sink of ice water with the tap just barely running. You will stay out of the danger zone and cut your defrost time down by well over half and on some things as much as by two-thirds. The convection plus the conduction makes all the difference in the world.

If you are using salted butter you are doing it wrong. :-P

Not really grilled onions per say but a damn tasty option for sure. I like how you think

An electric skillet/griddle is the way to go. Also add a pinch of sugar to the onions. It will enhance the camalization. And I second the mayo on griddle. Mighty tasty.

Yeah an electric skillet is the way to go. Also add a pinch of sugar to the onions. It will enhance the carmalization.

Yeah I have to agree. Unless you are manhandling your meat and making massive head sized globs of raw cow you do not really need to use the finger trick. However on the cheese front there is one that should be put on the inside and that is blue cheese. All other cheeses on the outside only.
