Golden roux for shrimp and sausage gumbo. Step 1…

It’s not an unreasonable question. I’d like a convenient knife sharpener. I’m smart enough to go the manual graduated sharpening stone route if needed, but if there are other, easier approaches, I’d prefer that. P.S. I’m neither hungry, or lonely…

I’m not opposed to going the manual route, but a more convenient sharpener would be preferred. I’ve tried several of the “V” type sharpeners and they’re OK, but the edge never lasts. I have German knives and Asian knives and a sharpener that easily handles both would be great…

I’d like something more convenient than the manual process…

Looks like it’s more for pocket and hunting knives?

Anyone have recommendations for a good knife sharpener? I have some quality kitchen knives that are dull as shit. Past the point of using a hone to dress the edge. I’m good with using stones if needed, but an easy, convenient sharpener that will put a lasting edge without the hassle is...

Beef… It’s what’s for Christmas. Still trying to decide how to cook it. The weather looks like it might support an attempt to rotisserie on the grill, but it would be a first. Not sure I want to risk a new approach for the main course. Decisions…

So… we have turkey (meh) and ham for Thanksgiving, but tend towards beef (“It’s what’s for dinner”) for Christmas. To be clear, my turkey is better than yours… 😆. Regardless, there are some pussies afoot. I have cooked a 5-7 rib prime roast a few times, but a couple in the “we’re here to eat...

Where you been, Bro? 🤷😆

Filling for homemade chicken pot pies…

Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the egg noodles and then return to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add butter (salted, the way God intended), and the gelatinous chicken drippings 😀. Simmer for 20 minutes and then add the chicken. Simmer and season to taste.

Way more than I deserve based on talent and playing time. What I have on stands for easy access is a Taylor 416CE and a ‘62 SG Jr (reissue).
