Wookay.. I finally got most of my stuff today. And after a whole day of washing, cleaning and bathing HRH Brownie-boo,
I realised how pooped I was, and just settled for making the pickles for today. No ambitious deep-frying of crackers and cookies, because, *BLUSH*, I didn't buy any containers to keep them. Eh heh.
So thanks to this beeyewtiful gizmet I got meself last year, just for a treat after completing most of the 4-year drudgery, things were done way faster than it would be, using conventional methods. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Benriner Turning Slicer.
My first encounter with it, was when ChefDanny proudly brought it to The Dutch Mill, showing how he'd use it to make dainty salads and garnishes for the yummy Hainanese Chicken rice he made for all of us.
And then, I had the privilege of using it again, when preparing for FHM & FHA in 2009 and 2010 respectively. I HAD TO GET IT. RARR!
A source of (lame) amusement for us cooks, who face high temperatures, high tempers, higher pressure in the confinement of four walls, with like-minded individuals (hence), us liking to do all sorts of things with the remainder of the vegetable, as shown below.
A milder version would be, propping it up on the shoulder, pretending it's a parasol OR dropping it on the floor, claiming it to be someone's loose screw.
*BWAHAHAH* (I know, I'm prolly the only one laughing at this).
And so, I did the green radish pickle
and cucumber pickle.
That's all for tonight folks. Tomorrow looms with more promise. :)
*drifts off to ZzzzzZzzland*
