What's For Dinner Tonight 15th August?

[taxlady]

I use a fine microplane to zest my lemons for pies and breads. Works great.

I will be looking for the recipe but if you could PM me the link when you do just in case I miss it. Thanks.

I have never made homemade butter but have come close several times. LOL I like stiff homemade whipped cream.

I have been looking, but haven't found a "microplane" that has smaller holes than my flat grater. I have a lemon zester, but that makes long pieces.

Thanks for the microplane reminder. I will be near a chef's supply store this afternoon.

I will try to remember to PM you when I post the recipe.

The one second from left is pretty fine. It has no handle like the others.

TL, you might check the hardware store for a microplane if you can't find one. That's where they initally came from, an implement for wood projects.

All the best, Harry! Good luck!

after an hour and 45 minute rain delay, we had a great time at the yankee game last night. i was smart and got seats under an overhang so we could sit in our seats and eat during the delay:

+1 hardware stores are a great place to find them.

If you have a small, locally owned one like Ace or Tru-Value they also usually carry Lodge CI and canning supplies too!

As I recall, the wife of a Lee Valley Hardware employee discovered that something that can smooth wood made a great zester. And they made a lot of money from that idea.

Now you guys tell me. I was at the hardware store today. I only looked in the kitchen section.

The "good news" is that the health food store was out of lemons, so I won't need to zest any lemon just yet.

thanks, taxy. it was a fun night, but we had to leave in the 7th inning so i could get them home and me back into work. no wonder i always look so tired.

Looks like you had a great time. And the Yankees won last night, which always makes it more fun.

 

[buckytom]

Lee Valley has a good one if you didn't find one.

I just Googled Lee Valley. The ship from Canada. Yay!

 

[CWS4322]

TL--Lee Valley is here in Ottawa. The founders are friends of mine.

Dawglover--Lee Valley was started in their basement. They worked hard for their money. Two of the most down-to-earth people you could ever hope to meet. The wife is one of my perogie making buddies.
