The slow blade penetrates the winter squash
Those are my leather chapas from my V-Twin glory days, I’ll have you know.
I go to Carnegie Hall a lot. I have to tell you the average age of the people I see at Carnegie Hall is probably at least 50…I feel pretty young whenever I’m there…
Sorry, I got SUPER nerdy!

Vaguely on topic.
New undergrad asks an upperclassman “dude, where’s the library at?”
Upperclassman looks down a yard of nose and enunciates in a prickly manner “At Princeton, we do NOT end our sentences in a preposition.”
“All good, man. Tell me where the library’s at, A*****e!?”

Look, bro, I’m a math Asian. I know it’s like a duplicate descriptor. I don’t do the speeking reel gud.You started a sentence with “But”
Shrug. That’s cool. Doesn’t matter one way or another lol. We all just keep living life or we don’t, and then it doesn’t matter
You know what I call em…. Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.

I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. I soon learned that Conjunction Stacking was practically a martial art.

so long as our knives are (!)ing sharp.
welll…… you can only be a SME on sharpness if you are missing an appendage
Does Appendix count?

Not too smart, but at least I’m ugly.
Missing as in gone, or missing as in "I fondly recall..."??
For example, I'm missing a toe, but I sure do miss Susie's legs.
Do you miss Susie’s legs cause you cut them off and then lost them?
All in the name of sharpness surely.
Edit: too dark? Well I’ll let it ride.

Does an eye count?
…
A pirate and a cowboy find themselves sitting next to each other in a place of hospitality.
The cowboy is very curious, and he gets the pirate talking by buying him beers.
“Soooo …”, says the cowboy, how did you end up with the wooden leg?
Aarrr! exclaims the pirate. “I was up in the t’gallant sails, reefin’ em against the squall, when a sheet snapped an’ took me’ leg clean off!”
Whoa, says the cowboy (beer) What about your hand?
AAarrr! I was scraping’ the hull, when a shark comes out of Davy Jones an’ takes m’ hand Clean Off!!
(beer) How about the eye patch?
(quieter) aarrr. I cast m’ weather eye upon some bad clouds — and a seagull took a **** in m’ eye.
Okay, says the cowboy. But that shouldn’t cost you an eye!
“Y’see,” said the pirate in a low voice —
“‘twas m’ first day with the hook!”

A trained cook with cheap Victorinox can cut better than most of us using a TF.

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Yeah I can't even remember the last time I cut myself when 'cutting properly'. Pretty much all my cuts are when doing funky stuff like putting them in or taking them out of sayas... or when I insist on cutting a lime while holding another one with the same hand.Yes i can see your point and agree somewhat.
My knife skills are pretty decent as i worked in a commercial kitchen prepping bulk amount of produce for 5 years when i was younger.
Funnily enough, nearly every time i cut myself it's not while chopping, it's when washing them, wiping dry or cleaning up the blade after a sharpening session.
Usually after a few too many beers!
I don't know if it makes much of a difference but when I'm tired or my brain isn't there I do somewhat revert to rockchopping. Feels safer and more controlled (to me).
Okay, then here's a perhaps really unpopular opinion to counter that:
A lot of trained cooks can't cut decently at all.
For sure most of them can break stuff down a lot faster than most of us, but whenever I'll watch the 75628th piece of footage on how to prepare something somewhere in the next days I already know I'm going to see someone either rock chopping with a jknife, destroying a piece of meat by sawing through it in 34 strokes, wasting half the product or at the very least ending up with pieces of produce at least double the size of other pieces.

Beam me up Scotty there is no intelligent life down here.
Liked the old rainbow warriors. They dropped the rainbow now just warriors.
Been seeing double rainbows in the valley windy & rainy April.
Haven't visited this thread in a while. Damaspork posting all his meat dishes on what you cooked thread has vegetarian wife. My better half doesn't like leather seats in a car or wearing leather belts because they come from a cow. I love leather belts, wallets you name it.
Read labels on food ingredients some are a mile long with all kinds of laboratory stuff. Even make own salad dressing tastes good not all that crap in it. We are eating more plant base foods.
Fish & eggs will never give up. I eat more eggs than her, they are loaded with nutrients esp. the yolks.
This soy substitute meat use in curry, pasta, stews. If your sauce is good the soy takes on the flavors.
Found a good curry paste few healthy ingredients, the shrimp paste adds umami. I add lots of fresh ginger, garlic, lemongrass, coconut milk, kaffer lime leaves & juice. Lots of fresh vegetables it's all in the sauce. Curry picture yellow paste mild for her. Also have Panang(picture), & red spicy for me.
Make my own trail mix too. Put in it what I like all the dried fruit has no added sugar. The tart dry cherries are good, figs, apricots, mango.

My wife passionately dislikes anything labeled, or considered a ‘meat substitute’—from Impossible, Beyond, Quorn, to seitan, and mock chicken. Tofu, legumes, eggs, dairy, East Asian and Indo-Pakistani influences, are our jive for vegetarian. I’ll occasionally play with ‘fake meats’ as a novelty, or when I need to abstain for cultural/religious reasons.
Since I’m a vegetarian until May 12, trying to eat 30 different plants each week, very challenging, only got to 25.
Rainbow Warrior’s logo is cool. College sports is a bigger deal with my family than pro sports.
On god. No cap. All fax, no printer.
As an old soul millennial who spends a lot of time working with Gen Z folk, sometimes I'm torn between thinking the world is doomed and wondering if they've simply evolved and I'm left behind. I hear supremely clever, but sometimes cringe inducing, word play on a regular basis that I could never in my wildest dreams come up with. Compounded by the fact that the restaurants' primary language is Spanglish - hearing cross language puns is pretty hysterical.

How often do you visit art galleries or museum? Honest question.
