From the Lodge FAQ:
>My new pan feels rough in some areas. Is this normal?
>it is OK to use a fine grade of sandpaper to smooth out the rough areas. Make sure to re-season the item before using
Do you sand your cast iron before you use it?

No because my cast iron was produced by the 1950s and is already smoother than your upper lip.

just fucking cook with it. autists go nuts about seasoning and cleaning their fucking cast iron BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FUCKING COOK THINGS IN IT
i soap my pan, scrub it, cook acids in it. its a $10 lodge pan. it's smooth as fuck and it works because I COOK THINGS IN IT

>>9032727
More likely it's smooth because you have a vintage pan. Unless you're constantly using steel utensils and scraping bits of iron into your food, the surface won't get smooth for a very long time.

Avocado rough mashed, finely chopped scallion, garlic, and jalepeno or serrano pepper, fresh squeezed lime juice.

Smash one or two avocados, then drop some chopped tomatoes and onions(1/4 or half of them), lime juice and salt.

Italian Protips thread?
- Try mint in an Eggplant sauce
- Add acidity to your sauce. A splash of balsamic provides excellent contrast with the sweetness.

Are you an actual Italian? I only ask this because I know that eggplant sauce in Sicily is sometimes listed as including mint but as a terrone-American I think that sounds nasty

I just don't get it. Hundreds of restaurants in this city but there's always this line-up outside that one place. What makes it so special?

Have always wondered the same thing. Even coffee chains make more sense than this sewage.

>>9040869
It tastes good to some people so they purchase their product which allows them to stay in business and create more product

>>9040869
I'd rather have a diet Arizona green tea desu
So I've been getting into gin, but have no idea where to go from here. 0 idea what's good brand to buy, or even good cocktails.
Gin & Elderflower Greyhounds are pretty good though, so I'm willing.

Moscow mules are pretty good, tom Collins if you aren't into ginger beer or a sloe gin fizz for something sweet.
For top tier try old raj, otherwise I'm really into St. George gin and spring 44.

I'll give some of those a try, thanks!

Is this really necessary?
http://wjla.com/news/nation-world/recalls-nearly-1400-tons-of-ready-to-eat-chicken-products-recalled
Gourmet Boutique LLC, with establishments in Jamaica, New York and Phoenix, is recalling approximately 294,744 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday. The products could contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

Well if you knowingly jam it in your product then yeah, it should be on the label.
These guy's are probably already being sued, and are dialing back so they don't get sued any more. So yeah, from the standpoint of a corporation...it's pretty fucking necessary.

most, if not all, of that meat is shipped in frozen from the third world and is mostly skin and gristle
i wouldn't eat it if you paid me

Yes, file a compliant with your local congressman.

Tomorrow morning I have an interview at a restaurant in my hometown that has been opened and closed several times over the past few years. There was a murder/suicide at this restaurant in 2009 and ever since it's struggled to maintain a good image. I'm interviewing for front of house manager. If I get it, I have to move and possibly buy an auto. I'm planning on taking a lot of valium before so I am not nervous.
