The only skill of note for today was cutting a chiffonade of basil. If anyone doesn't know what that is, you roll several basil leaves up tightly, and slice it to make narrow strips of basil leaves.

and added some Chiffonade fresh Mint (did I phrase that correctly? :huh: )
and crumbled Feta.

If you roll thin slices of Taylor Brand pork roll, you get a chiffonade of Taylor ham.

Thicker slices, cut into cubes or rectangular cuboids are called lardons of Taylor ham.

I emptied and reorganized the deep freezer today..I think that takes more courage than skill..there were things in there I never knew or remembered I put in there..surprising how much room you can save when you reorganize..

Yes, I can read, "John Taylor's ..."

The very first time I had, well what ever you want to call it,
I told DH, "MMM, tastes just like Spam."

View attachment 31238

The taste is similar to SPAM, but the texture is different, IMO. Your photos do show the right way to cook it -- with the four cuts to keep it flat. That's a cooking skill. Bucky probably cooks it in a microwave oven. :rolleyes:

Well this thread has gone sideways...:LOL:


Like most days, I needed to use a knife. Guess I was skillful enough - came out of cooking unscathed. Also unburned, since I managed to get the trays of pizza into and out of the toaster oven without ever toughing a hot spot. Yay me! And I found the box of ice cream sandwiches :yum: in the freezer before getting frostbite on my fingers.
