She didn't like that he rammed his tongue down her throat. Yes, there
are things that prostitutes find disgusting.

Okay. I don't like the name.

Yeah, 'mule' has some bad pr these days. Generally means somebody running
drugs.

As an aid to certain trades, serious amateurs, and those who don't
already have a solution to stationary assistance, the tool certainly
has a place.
I have had 4 Workmates, still regularly use 2, and I have a Triton
Superjaw. So, it is not for me.
As a storage and transportable solution, it needs drawers, wheels etc.
It is essentially an expandable workbench with a bench vice. I like
that part.
Great concept. Incomplete. The name is awful but a focus group could
disagree. Names don't need to be descriptive, just memorable?
It is probably just me.

If it takes you 5 minutes to mince a garlic clove you're out of practice.
"WHACK . . . rat-a-tat-a-tat . . . scrape" and it's done. At least if you
have two Chinese knives and know what to do with them it is.

Martial arts cookery.

But can you do it in the air and have the slices fall in the pot?

Nahh, that's performance art. Maybe if I'd heard about somebody doing it 40
years ago I'd have perfected the skill, but probably not--my parents didn't
own a knife that would hold that kind of edge. Nowadays I'm too lazy.

NEVER cut your garlic buds. Crush only.

Prefer to crush and cross cut.

Yep.

NEVER 'cut' lettuce, always break the stuff by hand.

Yep.

NEVER peel potatoes.

New, "yes", old Russets, gotta peel them.

Actually wrong animal, at least it was 60 years ago when I worked the
potato fields in the fall after school.

Back then, gov't subsidies were in play.

Free market price was about $0.01/lb for potatoes, but if you died
them purple and sold them as hog feed, gov't subsidized with a payment
to keep farmers going.

Back then, lots of crops were being subsidized including, winter
wheat, shell corn, and oats.

There were others, maybe somebody else remembers that far back

OTOH, Russets are just fine in my galley for lots of spud dishes
including home fries, fried, scalloped, potato soup, clam chowder,
mashed, etc, etc.

I deep (french) fried quite a few russets. They're pretty good for
that. Now I'm hooked on Yukon Gold or mini reds.

Go to Emeril's section of the Food Network and find "Flo's Roasted
Potato Salad".

Absolute Dine-O-Mite use of red spuds and produces a potato salad that
has no equal IMHO.

De spelling is correct.
But the dish is different from egg salad or potato salad. I had to look
it up: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russisch_ei

I rather have my own version of deviled eggs - secret ingredient is to
use some finely ground overdone bacon (or Baco's or generic equivalent)
in the mashed up yolks, plus the usual ingredients, which I take from the
Good Housekeping cookbook ca 1970.

We'll be at the Dutch house for a late lunch:

Anything that starts out 1 pound bacon like "Flo's", works in my book.

BTW, also calls for home made mayo.

Knock yourself out.

Ahhh, so those are just the eggs. In my home town ( Alphen aan den
Rijn), they were served two half eggs, stuffed, upside down onto a bed
of potato salad with a lot of veggies, like peas, celery mixed in. Two
small dollops of caviaar on top of each egg.

Btw, that ain't no Dutch restaurant :-) Where are the:
croketten
boerenkool
stamppot
gehaktballen
frikadellen
nasi goreng
bahmi goreng
UITSMIJTERS??
well?

Huh?

Huh?


LOL.... (Just drove my in-line spellchecker to the therapist..)

Doesn't adding bacon to just about anything make it better though?

It's "Jersey Dutch". After the English-Dutch war that exchanged
"ownership" of Suriname and Manhattan between the warring parties, a lot of
Dutch from Manhattan moved acorss the river. Here in Bergen county there
are still a lot of Dutch names, like the lumber/hardware etc chain Kuiken
Brothers. I don't think they know the difference between a chick and an
egg hehe.
