Yesterday afternoon I began cooking.

I first cooked the pound of homemade meatballs pan frying them to crust up and then dropped in the sauce to simmer for another 90 minutes. I also did the 3 large Italian sweet homemade sausage I bought at Sprouts after the meatballs to crust them. One exploded and made a mess but I dropped it in the sauce anyway.

Put it all in two freezer bags for Sunday night.

Next I made my famous 5 bean Mexican cold salad.
Pinto, Black, Garbanzo, Canellini, and Light Red Kidney beans, a can of sweet corn, 1 Red 1 yellow 1 orange pepper all sliced into 1/4" squares, about 10 large radishes diced into 1/8" cubes, 1 large red onion diced, 2 serrano peppers cut into very small diced pieces for heat, 1 large cucumber peeled and seeded cut into nice 1/4" squares like the peppers.
Then the spices of garlic powder, minced up cilantro, salt, pepper.
The dressing is extra virgin olive oil and LOTS of lime juice. Then I take the remaining 1/4 bunch of Cilantro and toss the whole leaves only as garnish and extra flavor. It is in a giant tub in the fridge getting cold and flavored.

We just got one in July. Really, really like it now. Didn't the first day for some reason.

Hadn't looked out on the garden in a while, found about 20 jalapeņos ready. So I'm pickling them.

FMB cock blocking me for being proud owner of a kick ass meat slicer :-)

It's a sweet bitch. I don't get to brag like you guys do very often about kitchen appliances. Thing would set you back about a grand

Honey teriyaki wings, bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeņos, stuffed mushrooms, bacon-wrapped pineapple. The bacon came off the pineapple (I'll have to work on that).

You have a small batch pickle recipe?
[Reply]

Yep. Just 1.5c vinegar and water each, 6T sugar, 2T salt, 1t oregano, 2 cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil, dump the chiles, sit for 10 minutes and jar. Made a packed pint, with a few left over.

Sorry man. I have a slicer too, but it's kind of a piece of shit, but more importantly, it's a royal pain to clean.

Thank FMB :-)

Post that sweet bitch up, dude.

I already have mine packed back up. Sliced my jerky and cleaned it up ASAP. It is this model



It is amazing

The sharpener on top is the greatest thing ever

That indeed looks pretty hardcore. : thumb:

Just out of curiosity, why'd you want a commercial quality slicer at home? Do you really slice that much?
[Reply]

Very Nice. Looks Delicious! :-)

I would love something like that. I just don't slice enough that way to put a grand for it.
