What’s New?
What’s new by me? Funny you should ask:
7th Week, 9th Entry (but who’s counting?) 03/18/10
St Patrick’s Day been and gone. Time for the left overs.
Corned Beef Hash: Wow! I thought the subject would be nicely covered in about 350 words.
If you’ve been following along, you know I try to cover a lot of technique in most of my recipes. There’s a lot of knife technique in this one. If you’re hazy about dicing, t’s worth reading for that alone. There’s some other good technical stuff too. And, it’s a great recipe. Really great.
Fish and Chips: How polticially correct is it to put English and Irish recipes side to side? If you want to argue that there’s nothing particularly Irish about Corned Beef Hash, and nothing particularly not-Irish about Fish and Chips you win as far as I’m concerned.
But enough with the Troubles, and up the food.
This particular Fish and Chips recipe uses a double dip technique to give a very light and crunchy fish, and a double fry for a nicely textured chip. Good technique makes things better.
Philosophies of Knife Sharpening: This piece is directed more at people who are either already freehanding or thinking about it, than those who are using or interested in trying some other system .
Don’t worry, the knife and sharpening magnum opae are in the works.
So, what’s new by you? Don’t be coy. There are a lot of other things to ask and comment about. For God’s sake, ask and comment. Your feedback not only validates my inflated ego it helps provide sorely needed direction.
Love you madly,
BDL
