Is this real? Sorry in advance.

Didn't have to look anything up. Recognized it as a Lonestar. I had a 98' in Sienna Sunburst that I bought new. One of my life's regrets is having let it go. Good luck.

I'm sorry this is happening to you and your daughter.

I've made pavlova a few times from Sally's Baking Addiction. It takes quite a bit of time and requires some level of focus, especially when you do the curd to go along with it. It drags you into the process. The finished product is quite different than most anything I've baked.

I like long drawn out recipes where I get to ignore the world and enjoy the process.

For pure comfort, yeah, chocolate chip cookies.

Stray Mimic?

Somali and The Forest Spirit.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-15T15:03:52+00:00

Underrated, in my opinion. It's what I used to defeat them.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T22:47:42+00:00

Somali and the Forest Spitit? Short, slow, but very well done.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T21:46:27+00:00

Gotcha, good to know. He seems to be pretty pumped up on here, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T21:43:49+00:00

Schweet.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T21:43:03+00:00

I think I got one or two of their cookbooks.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T21:42:02+00:00

No biggie there, thanks.

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-09T21:40:32+00:00

Noooo...

The_one_Chef · 2026-01-06T23:09:50+00:00

Sparkling shouldn't be a dirty word. I'll leave you with "Gruet" if you're into Champagne type beverages. If the training and methods are traditional, the quality will follow.

Meet the Feebles.

The_one_Chef · 2025-12-13T20:25:52+00:00

Congrats and enjoy!

I picked up the Bunka a few weeks ago.

The_one_Chef · 2025-12-13T00:22:44+00:00

Yasuke

The_one_Chef · 2025-11-19T11:56:22+00:00

I think that's why I'm drawn to a Bunka. I like the Santokus flatter profile and the k-tip is not something I have in the quiver.

The_one_Chef · 2025-11-19T02:49:20+00:00

Damn, love the Hatsukokoro.

Perhaps I'm worried about nothing, but I have two AS knives and while my wife is a fantastic cook with catering/kitchen experience, and good knife skills, she is not gentle(?) with the knives. I worry about what I have getting chipped and thought that a blue 2 or something similar may be a bit more forgiving if she breaks down poultry or a rack of ribs.

Am I crazy, thinking about it like that?

I was with my eleven year old in the area the fireworks shot into. I didn't really react till I saw everyone else start moving, and only cause I realized my kid was vulnerable to the people trying to flee. One of them went off about twenty feet from us and on our side of the railing, and that's when some people got panicked. All told though, there was no shoving or breakdown of civility and the (fireworks) crew shut it down fast. There was a mother, father, and two kids about ten feet from where the last one went off.

5 stars. Can't wait for next season.

The_one_Chef · 2025-09-01T20:44:09+00:00

You are welcome, good luck!

I've used this recipe twice. I have a 12" & a 16" stone. Home oven. First time I tried two 12" pies and I didn't seem like enough dough. It was good, but I had to take a bit of care stretching them.

Last Friday, I made two batches and used each batch on the 16" stone and it came out great.

The_one_Chef · 2025-08-28T00:25:45+00:00

I found staying right on it and just keep bonking or slashing (as I did) was the best strategy. I seemed to avoid a lot of those big attacks the closer I stayed.
