I pity the fool who doesn't use the chronograph function.



Toasting the buns in the burger juices.







Oh, it's bison, in case I didn't mention. Made from scratch.

You're upping your game Raza. Or just photographing it more. Or maybe both.

I seem to have been too optimistic in my diagnosis. Our mixer officially died last night in the middle of rolling out pasta. Since we are heavily invested in Kitchenaid accessories, we ordered a Pro to replace it.

Oh! No!

I don't blame you for re-investing in KitchenAid. They are good machines.

We added all our KitchenAid stuff up and retail price on it was over 2k. \we've found someone interested in most of the accessories.

A bit of both. Blue Apron really has me in a cooking mood. Haven't ordered delivery in like two weeks.

Good lad. Cooking is a pleasure (if you have the spare time to allocate).

Therein lies the problem. Modern life often doesn't allow the time for "proper" cooking. It is such a pleasure though.

I have shed loads of time. I work 9-5.30 Monday to Friday and have no kids. All time otherwise is spare. I mean it gets booked up with trips to the pub, stag dos, weddings etc but still.

Oh no! Sorry for your loss.

Thanks. It led a good, long life and served us well. It will be missed. At least until its replacement arrives.

The attachments are what is keeping us with Kitchenaid. The only thing I'd change is a pasta extruder with bronze dies, but the Kitchenaid pasta extruder works pretty well.

They do work fine. The Ankarsrums pasta extrusion dies are plastic too. A lot heavier but still plastic.

Some people make delicious butter, I make drinks. One thing I enjoy about martinis is the olives. Part of the fun is stuffing the olives. This is one of my more elaborate efforts, anchovy-stuffed olives. The plate below shows the anchovies prior to insertion, parmesan plugs to cap the olives, empty olives, and crackers for, uh, quality tastings. That's the ticket:



Here is the finished drink, a gin martini. Perhaps not for everyone, but playing with your food makes a lot of difference in how much you like it.



Cheers!
