The New Food/random talk thread, but mainly food

While I was cleaning out my desk drawer, I found a couple of Canadian coins:

Reminds me of my coin (and paper money) collecting days. I have quite a collection and I still check change out of habit. You’d be surprised what you can find when you look.

I found one of the D-Day anniversary twoonies in my change today. It was also one of the coloured ones, so I was really happy to find it. It’s the version on the right here:

Congrats on the find! That’s a fine looking coin right there.

I’m having taco and cool ranch Doritos mixed together with salsa as a snack.

If anybody’s curious, there’s an easy way to tell a quality knife from a massed produced one: look to see if you can see the tang in the handle; quality knives are cut from a single sheet of steel and the handle is bolted onto the tang. If you can’t see the tang, there’s a good chance that it’s a short piece of steel and there’s a good chance the knife will separate from the tang at some point. A quality knife will last a long time (you can pass it down) while a cheap one usually only lasts a few years. If you just need one for the occasional cooking, then go cheap; otherwise get a set of quality knives, especially if you mainly cook from scratch - your knife will stay sharper longer and that means less chances of it slipping and cutting you instead of cutting your onion. You also want a sharp knife so you’re actually cutting your food instead of forcing a blunt object through it and possibly squishing it. Oh, and for the love of God, do NOT put your good knives into the dishwasher! Always wash them by hand if you want to keep them because the heat from the dishwasher can weaken the steel bonds and cause the knife to deteriorate. I have a cheap knife with holes in it if anybody wants to see what can happen when you run them through the dishwasher. On a related note, don’t leave your knives in water because they can rust. Wash, then put them away either in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic rack. Take care of your knives and they’ll take care of you. :wink:

We have a dishwasher that isn’t used in my home. We’ve thought of replacing it with a cagorater. I don’t think I spelled that correctly.

Good advice @Gulfwulf :acmaffirmative:

I’m still hurting from last nights dinner. I ate way too much. We all stuffed ourselves, there was so much food. I even squeezed in some pie. :drooling_face:
I ended up in a food coma. my stomach was stretched and it hurt to cough or anything really. I layed down and ended up passing out. Food coma! :sleeping:
