I love their site, so many improvements I need to do to mine!grantmichaels said:
the newsletter is a nice constant reminder for me of where i'm supposed to be headed, too ...
When working w/ little dried shrimp, anchovies, and sardines for making trans-pacific soup for dieting, this is my song of choice ...
UUuuuuuuumami ... Uu, Uu ... Uu, Uu .... UUuuuuuuumami .... Uu, Uu ... Uu, Uu ....
Just sayin' ...
Just sayin' ...
Number one priority this week - low-calorie, flavorful soup.
Better late than never ... or stroked out, or dead, if you will.
In other news ...
I'm super excited about a gadget ... go figure ...
I found the thing I've been missing in my life, that's been in the way of making the kind of food I'm most interested in ...
the julienne peeler.
don't get me wrong - i f**king tried hard ... i bought a mandolin a while back, i bought a benriner mandolin later (adds julienne style sectioning posts), and a spiralizer or whatever ... but nothing was right ..
it's the GD julieene peeler that's been missing in my life - and what unlocks my sushi-making capability, as well as the quick pickled sides for Asian dishes ...
i'm stupidly excited.

thx to BigB, filmost, and D3 - i'm finally out of port ...
let's get those little umami bombs kickin' ... calcium rich.
little tip i picked up along the way ... cut the kombu ... look at al, that glutamate ...
it only goes in for about a minute, then it comes out to stave off an off flavor ...
I'm in the mood for "hot" tonight ...
and a little ...
after simmering for fifteen mins, homies are spent ...
i used reheated noodles tonight, just to get this voyage started already ...
that's wakame or whatever seaweed ...
the recon'd shiitake are decent, but i'll be going full fresh in the long run ...
second serving kept warm for a good bit ...
which i hit w/ additional bird's eye powder a 'racha ...
and this pic is for Boss - flavor lillies in the highlights
tasty, funky, and relieving ...

diet life ... what is there to say, really ...
no protein in my lunch salad today, consequentially not very filling ...
piggy wants to eat!
no, not just lettuce ...
and finally ... i got out the mirin and soy sauce and just took out the end of the shrimp ...
that's a little better ...

I have had those in several high-end sushi joints, they are a freaking trip!grantmichaels said:
May be lower cal but you are packing the flavour in there. Very nice indeed
So what exactly is that and why do I suddenly need one?
julienne peeler! the tool i was missing for the past years, and didn't know existed ...

Nice, I use the one on my mandolin but that does look handy!grantmichaels said:

that fine of spacing? ... it makes the little perfect little "sticks" for rolling sushi =)
the story of this is such that:
1) grant buys mandolin that's rated well ... comes without the little division posts/blades to make the cuts while slicing ...
2) grant buys benriner mandolin with little posts and blades ...
3) grant buys spiral slicer ...
grant doesn't use 1, 2, or 3 ... so, typical grant ...
then one day grant learns of julienne slicer, and for a 1/4 of what he's already spent trying to find the solution, has it in-hand ...
so many thing go this way ...
julienne slicer ftw =)
