My wife made Chile Verde and Spanish Bomba and a pot of Pintos - simple but very delicious lunch on the patio on a beautiful day.

Should be simple to timestamp the order (in milliseconds) and fulfill by time.
e.g.

Little potatoes for a little knife! I stewed these potatoes up in a quick broth and mixed them with some fresh basil pesto. The whole point was to use my new Anryu AS 120mm petty. Well, actually I wanted to use two petties but my wife gave me a look so I guess I will use the other one tomorrow. :D ...

Re: Steel finish repair

I have all three of the smaller ones. They are quite messy but work very well for removing tarnish. I feel like they are a bit rougher in terms of the finish. --- The smaller ones? Are they the Sandflex brand? I use the yellow fine to remove patina if it gets too thick. It works perfectly fine for ...

Re: Your Favorite For Onions

Generally speaking yes, a thinner blade is usually preferred but it also needs to have a quality grind: one that has good food separation. It also depends on your preferred method of dicing.
