I love that awl. Why do companies keep copying the Vic can opener but not the awl? :think:

Quote from: SirVicaLot on June 25, 2020, 04:56:51 AM
Because the majority of people out there have no idea how versatile that awl is. Me included, before I came to MTo that is  :D

I'm kinda glad that most companies don't copy it because it would be wasted space for the most part.  I have seen a couple of copies online and they don't do it well at all.  This sort of awl is very precise. Its almost a spiral with a barb on the end a sharpened edge.  It just wouldn't work if it wasn't exactly the way it is - in my estimation.  Even silly things like opening clamshell packaging relies on hooking the plastic when tearing it open.

I know what you're getting at. Not ALL Indian food (collectively, and wrongly, called "curry") is hot.

Moreover, I really do not dislike those dishes which are, by their very nature, not hot. I just object to those that purport to serve (restaurants, I'm looking at you here) dishes as being "authentic" when I know they are not (think central London or, quite frankly, central anywhere outside of India)

My oldest friends are Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi and laugh openly at some of the dishes we call "Indian" (think onion bhaji etc.)

One of my favourite dishes is Chiilli Paneer (just google it, it's easier) but the clue is in the name "Chiili" and it is supposed to be "warm"  :ahhh

I'm also a HUGE fan of Vindaloo*. This is often a misunderstood dish (mostly down to the Brits to be fair  ::) ) But, if done right, is a very pungent and not as warm as you might think (it's not a Tikka Masala though; which is a British created, so be warned)

NB: *Vindaloo is traditionally done with Pork, having come from Goa and therefore was a Christian dish (inspired by the Portuguese who introduced the Goans to vinegar)

Anyway, having digressed (greatly) here's a pic' of the PX helping to cut some Rosemary from the garden (required by herself, obviously  :twak: )

I have spared you the usual Tomato shot... :dunno:

I get the regular chef's choice of spice.  One time I ordered the entrees Mild...  without the spice everything just tasted greasy. 

I just stay away from the very spicy styles like Jalfrezi.  Vindaloo is almost too spicy but the sourness makes it taste  :drool:  Sometimes when I have the next day off, I'll go for that.

Wow a true Indian Takeaway expert  :cheers:

Indo-Chinese food like Chili Chicken and Hakka noodles are excellent. It's influenced by Chinese folks living in northeast India. 

Vindaloo is one of my favorites when I have nothing to do the next morning.  When I go for that I usually choose beef because that's what I usually find available instead of pork around here.  It stands up to the spice better than chicken, I think.  And you're right, it's Portuguese influenced from Goa where Roman Catholicism is very prevalent - so all meats are fair game. (see what I did there?)   Some of the most amazing beaches in the universe are in Goa, and it's a go-to unwinding location for Israeli soldiers when they leave the military. 

I'll drink a Kingfisher in your honor.... If I can find one.

Ok so, I'm replying to myself (not for the first time  :whistle: )

But, for those who may (or may not be interested) here is the book used for "most" but not all indian food in this house.

Essentially, do what Madhur says and you won't go wrong..EVER!! (last one with added ISBN, you're welcome  :hatsoff:

NB: The only caveat is that she tends to tone down the spices for the foreign/non-Indian types (Mrs Surge doubles, as a minimum, the chilli)

Day 25

I present to you my Chicken Tikka Masala.  It turned out nice.

I didn't use grilled chicken skewers for simplicity's sake.  Instead, I caramelized some onions with the chicken and let the sauce cook down to intensify the flavor.  It was less saucy but that was fine because of the intensity.  :tu:

Pioneer X opened a new bag of rice and a domestic American beer.   :cheers:

Looks great EB!
Thanks for posting the book Surge, my wife has Tried to make Indian food a couple of times, but it’s never turned out quite right.  I like the paneer too - the takeout place we use now has “shahi paneer”. The other great restaurant we used to have was in a really old (well, by Canadian standards!) hotel that burned down and the owners moved back to Tanzania (I think? It was the island Freddy Mercury was from). I used to get palak paneer there.

Another tangent - my hometown isn’t known for much (Bobby Hull, 1957 world hockey champions, we used to have the jr. hockey team P.K. Subban played for (and he was in the gr. 11 biology class I taught, but that’s another story!)).  One thing not hockey related was we had a world famous poet Al Purdy (Charles Bukowski once called him the only other living poet besides himself that was any good, or something like that). Anyways, Al wrote a poem about that hotel, I think it was called “at the Quinte hotel”. I stayed there on my wedding night, lol

Day 25

No jobs today, my wife even brought me out a beer so I didn’t even open one of those!  A couple of glamour shots modelling my new P7 clip. I felt naked today, I couldn’t feel it in my pocket and kept thinking I didn’t have it!

You suddenly reminded me of my 10th-grade chemistry class.  There were orange rubber hoses connected to many of the faucets on the benches, and there were several extra rubber hoses that were used to connect the Bunsen burners to the gas source. 

The teacher was doing a demonstration, and couldn't get a flame out of the Bunsen burner.  He found a crack in the hose where it attached and needed to trim that off.  Unable to find scissors in his desk he asked the class if anyone had a Swiss Army knife!  One of my classmates said - "Why would anyone have a Swiss Army knife?"  The teacher says - "I don't know a lot of people do, aren't any of you Boy Scouts?"

 :o  I was a Scout at the time, but in my younger days I was into single blade lockbacks.  And I didn't bring mine to school with me. 

These days that wouldn't fly.  I believe in the US all pocketknives are prohibited in all schools, federal buildings, and courthouses.

I know those rubber hoses well!
I don’t think anyone would bat an eye if someone had a pocketknife in my school. Well, that’s not true, some of them would, but if I asked the same question your teacher did I wouldn’t think twice about it!
And yet.....it’s ok to take your sub machine gun into the legislature building in Michigan. (But not your Protest sign!).

And I lied - a builder friend came over to have a look in my attic with me, so of course I had to use the bottle opener (x2).  Also exciting, I got to use my new Fenix E18R flashlight, I think it’s 40mm long and it was better than his giant pro light :)

Loving it!  It's summer and I have it in the big pocket of my cargo shorts.  It's always kind of heavy and banging around, but I've just gotten used to it. The past 2 days I didn't even know it was there!

I know what you're getting at. Not ALL Indian food (collectively, and wrongly, called "curry") is hot.

Moreover, I really do not dislike those dishes which are, by their very nature, not hot. I just object to those that purport to serve (restaurants, I'm looking at you here) dishes as being "authentic" when I know they are not (think central London or, quite frankly, central anywhere outside of India)

My oldest friends are Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi and laugh openly at some of the dishes we call "Indian" (think onion bhaji etc.)

One of my favourite dishes is Chiilli Paneer (just google it, it's easier) but the clue is in the name "Chiili" and it is supposed to be "warm"  :ahhh

I'm also a HUGE fan of Vindaloo*. This is often a misunderstood dish (mostly down to the Brits to be fair  ::) ) But, if done right, is a very pungent and not as warm as you might think (it's not a Tikka Masala though; which is a British created, so be warned)

NB: *Vindaloo is traditionally done with Pork, having come from Goa and therefore was a Christian dish (inspired by the Portuguese who introduced the Goans to vinegar)

Anyway, having digressed (greatly) here's a pic' of the PX helping to cut some Rosemary from the garden (required by herself, obviously  :twak: )

I have spared you the usual Tomato shot... :dunno:
Apologies; this should have been "Day 25" (I've lost track  :think: :facepalm: )
They don't like it up 'em!

I saw you said you're from London.  My stepfather was from London, too.  Not entirely sure which part, except it is the part where they cheer for West Ham!  He had to be moved out to the countryside (Preston) for a while to live with relatives as a child when the bombings were going on.
