A few fud-related items.

I succumbed to temptation and utility, and bought an electric meat slicer. (Hey, it was on sale!) I have bacon to slice this weekend and doing it by hand produces inconsistent slices.

Last night, I tried the revised Garlic Sauce from a Resolution recipe a while back. The revised version listed there worked very well, except that I had to simmer the sauce for closer to ten minutes to thicken properly. Also, I need to whisk in the garlic a bit better; it didn't distribute fully through the egg yolks. But I think this redaction is done and it's going into my tourney cookbook - this would be easy to do at events. And it went beautifully over chicken.

What I'm reading: Neil Gaiman, Absolute Sandman v. I - geez, this thing is gorgeous. And a monster; I wouldn't want to pull an aastg and fall asleep while reading it, as it would break my nose.

Good thinking ... that'd hurt. It was bad enough she bloodied hers on the medieval jewelry book (as far as I can tell, no blood got on the book, but it'd be a mark of distinction, I think ...).

Is it possible to have too many kitchen toys?
I think not!
