nah, Holly, i just talk a whole lot, so that up there is probably much longer than it needs to be. it occurred to me about the time i was wrapping it up to go in the oven that i should have been taking pictures. it’s pretty easy, i promise. short version: make rice stuffing, slice pork roast, fill pork roast, bake until done. poof!

Ann, as chicks, we’re kinda screwed by several of the popular knife brands. i don’t have big meaty man-hands, and so the square-cross-sectioned handles of henkels (et al) just don’t fit my hands correctly. you’ll have much better knife skills with something that you can grip easily.

i personally don’t like the kevlar or chain mail gloves because you loose so much sensation in your hands. you can’t feel what you’re holding on to, and that doesn’t help me be safer at all.

That looks wonderful! Though it finds me wondering what a high-maintenance dinner effort would look like for you — that certainly looks pretty involved (or maybe your smoke-and-mirrors ‘hoity-toity with minimal effort’ is VERY effective!)

Sounds good! I’ll have to try this one for Steve- he looooves pork. My knife skillz suck, however, so I may need to get these: http://www.askthemeatman.com/cut_resistant_gloves.htm

You’re totally correct here. I’m just amused. I will never be the most adventurous when it comes to food. Also I would have to google half the things on this list because I’ve never heard of them.

Also how many people do you think said ‘I’m so hungry I could eat a horse’ when they were presented the opportunity to eat horse? hahahaa

well, i s’pose by the very definition, one can not keep kosher and be an OMNIvore. that being said, only a few things are actively non-kosher, if you go with a looser interpretation (as in, shellfish or meat + milk = bad, but cheese not specifically declared kosher is ok).

I think less than 12% of the things on this list are kosher.
