Title: knife
Post by: mullet on November 10, 2008, 05:03:20 pm
  Here's a little blade I beat out Sunday. I needed to practice, I've been cutting slabs too much. It's made from Mohogany Obsidean.

Hey Eddie: When that picture was loading, I thought it was an xray of somebody's lungs coming up ;D. Dandy little knife there - if it breaks, you can use the other end to bop out another ::) ;D.

That's one nice collard cuttin' knife if I ever seen one.You mentioned slabs,do you cut your own?Might have to get with you on that,I haven't messed much with slabed rock.
That copper cap is a interesting feature,a survival multi-tool?

  Roger, I can cut the softer rock. When it comes to raw Coral all I can do is make sparks and watch the blade disappear. I put the cap on because I was too lazy to cut bone and wood and thought I'd try something different.

     Nice.  Only if I had it and it broke, and I tried to use it as a bopper, I'd be bleeding from every where, except the bottom of my feet.  I cut myself bad enough just trying to make an arrowhead, let alone using a bopper with a long razor edge! I can't make a knife yet, but I can make a " Scalpel " though...... Yeah, Cowbow, when I was scrolling the picture up, at first I thought it was the bones of one of those fish, from the lakes at the phosphate mines.  Not exactly symmetrical ribs. Thought it might be from some of that low level radiation, and chemicals......might catch one with eyes like a fly......

I'm about as Southern as you can get, and I despise the durn things. My recipe for collards: Let the deer and groundhogs eat 'em and get fat, then shoot the deer and groundhogs and eat them. Taste much better. I also have a good recipe for chicken livers/catfish. ;D

Title: Re: knife
Post by: stickbender on November 20, 2008, 06:17:06 pm
   
     Dang Hillbilly, what is wrong with you boy!?  Collards is Gooood!  I like collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet tops, etc.  About the only root vegetable that I won't eat is a stinking rutabaga!  I don't even want to be anywhere near it.  I am not going to say what it smells like when you boil those things.  Now back to the collards, yep Mechslasher, collards, turnips, mustard greens, or beet tops, with fried corn bread, and pepper sauce.  It just don't get much better.   Hillbilly, David, you just ain't had no proper up fetchin, if'n you don't be a likin collards, n such.  But, as they say up in Hillbilly's area, if you don't like em, " It don't make me no never mind. "  Jes that much more for me! Pass the corn bread, and butter, and pepper sauce please.....

Wayne thats down right racist to discrimate against the poor old rutabegas like that :o I love em, boiled and mashed with real butter and and a spoonful of brown sugar
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmTasty ;D
Only had da Collard greens once and they were mighty tasty also, of course they were swimming in bacon fat ;D
Title: Re: knife
Post by: stickbender on November 20, 2008, 06:40:44 pm

     Well the only proper way to cook collards, and the other greens, is with a nice piece of fat back, or smoked ham hock.  I will share a table with you any time, but you have to sit at the other end.  I'll eat my collards, and you can eat da rutabagas, don't cha know.
Shoot, Ill even share the corn bread, and butter, and pepper sauce.  If you're not familiar with pepper sauce, it is basically a bottle, or mason jar, with green rooster spur type peppers, and vinegar.  I like to use apple cider vinegar. You put it on greens, snap peas, field peas, etc. I grew up eating it, since I was about three or four years old.  I had no choice.  My mother was from Headland Alabama, and My father was from somewhere around Macon, and Eastman, Ga.  He was not sure of the exact location.  It was a lonnnng time ago.  He passed away two years ago, at the age of 95.
Well since I have railed against the lowly rutabaga, I will also say that I don't care for rhubarb pie either.  My dad loved it.  Dang, now I wish I had some greens.  Way to go Eddie.  You could've just as easily laid that knife on a piece of leather.  See what you started.

  Dana, you ate some at Pappy's Classic last year. I took a few pounds up there and Cast Iron did them real good. Wayne one of the things I have to do this weekend is cut the Collards, boil them all day and Zip-Lock and freeze them for future use. I like Ruterbaga but you can keep anything that has to do with Beets.

     Ah, if you like greens, you will like beet tops.  I just absolutely love pickled beets! :P ;D

strawberry - rhubarb pie is like crack
Title: Re: knife

 Yep, Strawberries are real good. They are probally needed to mask the Rhubarb. ::)
Title: Re: knife
Post by: Hillbilly on November 20, 2008, 10:01:12 pm
Eddie, I agree with you on the rhubarb. Stickbender, I had way too much fetchin' up in my younger days with Mama cooking collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, poke sallet, rhubarb, and all that stuff. That's why I don't eat it now. Give me a big chunk of meat, a tater, and a couple biscuits or cornbread and I'm happy. Don't need all that green cow food ;D

try it sometime you will love it.  The rhubard adds tartness and the strawberries are sweet.  its my favorite pie. :)

just eating rhubarb though :P
Title: Re: knife
Post by: stickbender on November 21, 2008, 01:06:56 am

     If I had strawberries, I'd just toss the rhubarb, and eat the strawberries.  I can eat some strawberries!  Well Hillbilly, I can put away some meat and taters, and or biscuits, and corn bread also, but I still like the greens.  After all , it made the cow big and strong.
Plus if you eat your veggies, you don't have all that predator smell, and the deer will walk right up to you and say why howdy, any good moss around here?  Ooh are you gonna finish that fescue?  Honest they will...... ;D  I was eating some grass onetime, and I was talking to all the little animals...... ;D  Oh wait those were brownies......well I think they had some grass in them...... ;)
Anyway, I guess it is like the Italians say, " tute i gusti, sono gusti. " not sure of the spelling, it means, all tastes are tastes, or to each his own.   I don't like buttermilk either!  That is another thing I don't want to be around.  My Dad, and Mom, and Grand Father , would eat it, with corn bread in it.  Looked like baby burp.  And how do you tell if it has gone bad?  I can just see where they make that stuff, all these plump little babies, hanging up side down, being shaken, and big vats under them......Anywho, that's my take on it.  Other than that I'm pretty open to different kinds of foods.  Cept for limburger, or leiderkrantz.  Or any of those other cheeses that are cured in the outhouse.   Oh, ya, and dat lutefisk, fer sure now, ya know.

Wayne .....shame on you for not liking Rhutabagas...they are good for you....and good tasting too.....raw or cooked in  Pasties.......I know.....you'd rather eat the Greens than the Rhutabaga!!! Now I have another suggestion for you.....try some Casu Marzu .....since you are quoting Italian.....it looks so yummy....can just imagine what it must taste like!!!!

   Wayne, I am with you on the curdled milk. My wife and Uncle used to eat Buttermilk Cocktails. It was half and half Buttermilk and Budwieser with crumbled up cornbread. I have to lump that stuff in with Yogurt and that ol' nasty looking Cottage cheese. Reminds me of 80 year old women at Daytona Beach in bathing suits. :'(

     Eldestructo;
     I will have that and a glass of " Grapa ".  Nah, I think I will skip that cheese.  You can put that in with other outhouse brand cheese.  Dang Eddie, you hit the nail on the head with that cottage cheese.  It is about as tasty as eating soft crayons.  Buttermilk cocktails?!!!!
Blech!!!  Man that is about as discusting as you can get I think!  That would go good with some of that Eskimo rotten meat.  I sure would not want to be around it.  I can just imagine the burps.  "Dang Eddie! You smell that?!  I think the dog barfed somewhere"......You have to wonder just who in the heck came up with these foods?!! Talk about a guranteed weight loss program.  Ok, for the first week, you can only eat, the cheese with maggots, and wash it down with buttermilk.  The second week, you can splurge, and have a buttermilk cocktail.  The third week, you can add lutefisk dip, and bleu cheese, and the other outhouse brand cheese, on green bread, top it off with cottage cheese.  You should drop about fifty pounds, by then.  If you survive.  And Eddie, you say that your Wife, and Uncle both drink that stuff? !!  Whooowee, thank God for Parsley, and breath mints!
In this case the breath mints would have to be garlic, and spanish onions.  Dang, after two of those cocktails those 80 year old women, with the cottage cheese thighs, would start to look good.  I think I would rather bite the south end of a north bound Buzzard, than attempt to drink one of those.  I'll stick with an ice worm cocktail thank you.

     Rats, now I don't want to have my cheese and crackers.  Maggot cheese!  Sheesh.  No wonder, the Sardinians, live on an island!
Talk about trying to get visions out of your head, I am still trying to get rid of the vision of that cocktail, and your Sweet and lovely Wife, actually drinking it, and your very own Uncle drinking it also, to boot!  So much for sleeping tonight.  Wish I had some Zombie movies to watch.
