A 500mm blade is going to be a 700mm knife easily. That will look pretty idiotic carrying out to a customer's table just for show, not to mention the damn thing needs a sword sheath in order to keep from killing people while walking out to the table to do the performance.

Not outside of your bubble. I don't live in USA and European makers have all but stopped using tallow, meaning if we get anything then it's imported from the US.

Stirling makes pretty good soap IMO, real tallow and shea. Starting to get pretty damn difficult to find tallow soap anymore due to the global terrorist-style organisation named PETA. Tallow based soaps are pretty much the only ones I don't get razor-rash with. If you shave every day, one can of...

My travel kit (left to right): - Long stainless tweezers - Mac PKF-60 vegetable knife - Kai Shun Kaji KDM006 chef's knife - Victorinox Swibo Boner - Mac Bread Knife 270mm - Mac Scissors KS-85

My problem with automatic machines is that I love them, however DeLonghi has the damn patent on side-loading water tanks and DeLonghi automatic machines are mediocre at best. Without a side-loading water tank, you can't keep the machine on a kitchen countertop that has a wall cabinet above it...

Blah, blah, blah. I have a Muehle Rocca R96 stainless and it has no such problem. In fact, if you have really paid around 100 EUR for a razor that doesn't centre the blade and you KEPT IT INSTEAD OF RETURNING FOR AN EXCHANGE then it is you, mon cheri, who is ****.

And it should also not be glazed. Glazed surfaces are the enemy of lather formation. This is my lather bowl:

Wow! Looks like I need to get out my big Dick now and engage in some friendly sausage stuffing competition!

Wife got me a 5-pocket knife roll, which is just perfect for getaway trips. No need for a 10-pocket as I don't cook for a living :-) '

You wouldn't know absurd if it jumped up and smacked you in the face with your mothers loose flab.

Guess which one is new?

Meanwhile at McDonalds

I usually fry salmon in canola oil as it has such a high smoke point and I like to fry it on full-blast so the outsides are almost burned. Olive oil won't work in that case. Sometimes we do make a sauce with sour cream and chopped coriander (cilantro for US types). Wife has got some additional...

Millenials don't eat real food anymore, only nepalese delivery and microwave dinners. Reindeer are raised in northern Finland and most of it is either sold to Russia or served in tourist-trap restaurants. Reason being that the kilo price is so stupidly high that people would rather spend that...

People eat McDonalds, pizza, kebabs and Nepalese. There is no real food culture anymore. Yeah, salmon is eaten quite a lot. Normally we just fry salmon butterflied medallions in oil with some lime-pepper seasoning.

No, this is not something that can be helped / assisted / solved - she will either find the desire from within to eat more than a few morsels per day or she won't. It's not within my power to control. We're both overweight so it's not like either one of us doesn't have plenty of fat to burn for...

Thanks. I live in a country where mental health problems are not stigmatised like they are in the anglosphere. Every person I know is in therapy now. Coworkers, family, friends, wife and I, kids, you name it. We're all ****ed up, even those who won't admit it. We do go out with the dogs several...

We don't have fjords in Finland. We do go out driving around sometimes, pack up the dogs and drive for a few hours. Depression has it's grip on both of us. Hell, we're not even drinking anymore since last summer..

We've been cooped up together for so long that I need to keep any potential weapons out of her reach.

Not coping well. I've mostly stopped cooking since my wife has mostly stopped eating and all the teens have moved out.
