If you chew gum while cutting onions, you won't cry. There are some other tricks I don't remember also.

The best way to cut onions so you won't cry is to put said onions in the fridge for, I think, a half an hour or so before you cut them. That way the cell walls don't rupture quite the same way and release the terrible crap as much.

I find myself deseeding jalapenos a lot for soups or chilis. That shit lingers on your hands, and no amount of washing or soap seems to get it off.

If you splash some lemon juice on your hands, then scrub with salt, though ... that'll soak it right up, and wash off cleanly.

Or you could be an uber-anal person like Alton Brown and wear rubber gloves

wrong

there's really not much you can actually do besides cut them in the pool or freeze them (which will destroy the flavor and texture)

Live with it

I boiled my beans for 2 minutes, 30 seconds and let them soak for four hours and they're really chewy, but in a good way.

The Chili is delicious I love it yaaaay slow cookers.

I've never cried while chopping onions. I've also never sneezed due to pepper. Or slipped on a banana peel. I basically just don't get food-related cartoon gags.

Never eaten a whole watermelon and spat out the seeds like a (gum gum) gatling gun?

Roast Beef and Molly made a respectable Beef based Pho with brisket slices. Or it would have been if they had not underestimated the amount of broth they would need to make by about half.

Pretty yummy nonetheless.

Wait, what? Since when is there an Achewood recipe for pho, and why wasn't I informed?

François · « **Reply #233 on:** August 23, 2009, 07:31:38 PM »

It's in the new cookbook I suppose.

I need to get a piece of that action. I got a plate of Pat's cookies from the first book on my table right now and they are the sliz. They are kridden.

EDIT: Oh wait, I'm probably wrong, the book's not out yet. Premium content?

Brentai correctly sussed that my roommate was RoastBeef. Logically, his girlfriend is Molly. Their cookbook is actually titled "Street Food" will get full publishing details later.

Have you ever fallen for a dynamite topped birthday cake or had a pie hit you in the face?

Brentai · « **Reply #236 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:51:09 PM »

I've had my face shoved into my birthday cake once, call that a compromise.

(My mother did it.)

Er... I hope that was done in jest. Or something like that?

Still had to wash jalapeno and onion juices off my hands while half-blind before I could wipe my eyes.

If the pepper is burning your hands, try dipping your fingers in oil before handling the pepper.

I don't think you'r chopping enough onions or the right onions. Or using enough pepper for that matter.

So I've got 3 and a half pounds of pork belly soaking in a brine in my in-laws fridge. This weekend is international bacon day, and we're making BLTs with applewood, hot-smoked and hand crafted bacon, and heirloom tomatoes on sourdough.
