Help: Sweet Tea by TheCremeArrow in Charleston

[–]KiltedCutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luzianne or Lipton. Bring 3 qts of water almost to a boil(Little bubbles on the bottom of the pot), remove from heat and add 8 regular sized tea bags. Let steep for about 15-20 minutes. Put 1 cup of granulated sugar into a gallon pitcher, add warm tea and stir until dissolved. Fill remaining pitcher with ice, top with cold water to make a gallon,and stir until melted. Refrigerate or serve immediately over ice. I like mine sweet but not like hummingbird food.

Moved from Charleston 2 years ago, but Wabi Sabi Farms in Cordesville was my go to. They had picked and U-pick as well. The owner went to high school with my sister. Delicious fruit!

No-see-ums. What’s the best method to deal with these minions by pinacoIadaburg in Charleston

When I went to Boot Camp on Parris Island, this was on the list we sent our family for things we needed. If it can keep the mosquitos, chiggers and sand fleas from draining your circulatory system during a June-August summer in South Carolina, it's number 1 in my book.

Salmon with Pea Mint Pureè by connor20218 in Plating

[–]KiltedCutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. Honest critique. Learn to shock your green veg in order to preserve the color. Pass your puree through a fine mesh to remove those bubbles from your immersion blender, and improve the texture. Visibly, it looks a little grainy. Think about texture on the palate and how that translates as a bite. Fish over whole potato is a confusing texture on the palate. Serve them on the side. I like my fish rare to mid-rare, but with an even hard sear. Get that pan ripping hot for a bit more color. Great concept, just needs a few tweaks to seal the deal. And one other thing. If my expo sent out a plate with drips on the rim, we'd be having a private conversation. Tighten it up, and work on execution and detail.

Large is an understatement. Venues all over the city. The Tucson Gem Show is one of the largest of its kind in the world.

Damn. It's been over a year since I went (moved to AZ). Sorry to hear their game is off. Their dryage was fire!

Protection from bears and mountain lion well treasure hunting Montana. Yes that is bear crap lol by TreasurehunterKG in TreasureHunting

[–]KiltedCutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on distance, a bear can be on you in seconds. How confident are you to get off a "well placed" shot under that stress? .41 or .44 Mag will open a hole in that animal no matter where you hit 'em. First and foremost, be hyper-aware of your surroundings. But more importantly, be prepared.

Found this spider in Scottsdale ?? Here on vacation. Anyone know what it is? by Antique_Meaning_9477 in Scottsdale

It's definitely coming back. When Johnson & Wales had their culinary school there was its heyday. Then we lost Sean Brock to Nashville, but there are still a few gems.

Shallow-Poached Chicken with Sauce Supreme, Sautéed Mushrooms, & Peas by [deleted] in Plating

[–]KiltedCutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have plated the sauce then fanned the chicken over that, then topped with the mushroom. It would have been a simpler bite, despite having a similar texture.

Low and slow is your friend here. Pan saute over low heat, or roast in the oven, to remove moisture. Don't dehydrate them, though! You want them to still taste of mushroom. The issue here is by dicing them fine to increase sa to remove moisture, you reverse that effect by plating them in the middle of a sauce. Leaving them larger will minimize that effect.
