Dana, no but I'm gonna!
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Vortex, with buttermilk and shredded sharp cheese? And then baked?
Wooden spoon! Charismatic wooden spoon, even.
Nora, I use either, depending on what's clean. The whisk does work an iota better with less gloppy sticking. I end up making the roux in le creuset pot which is easier to see because of the white enamel.
That is exactly what I use, Kat, my Le Crueset Dutch oven. Which is why I use a wooden spoon, so I don't scratch up the enamel. Very prissy of me, I know.
Come visit me, Jen! I will put it on your plate!
Woo! The company would be the best part of that, of course, but I would eat. Oh, but how I would eat!
Now I'm retroactively sad about my dinner. PB&J and some (admittedly yummy) lentils.
Silicon whisks!
My roux-stirring technique is almost all scraping across the bottom of the pan, which I don't think I could do effectively with a whisk. I use a wooden spatula like thing, now that I think about it.
Which pan depends on what I'm making, but my usual pan for most things is my 10 inch cast iron skillet. And as for whisk or spoon, I'm like Kat, it depends on what's clean.
Totally vain evening -- I had to paint my nails because I'm going to yoga. Now this isn't, I need to be hot for yoga. But it's more like, SHIT, My face is near my feet and my nails look like shit.
Also, there is a big shitstorm in my yoga community and all of these big allegations against the yoga school's founder. Some of it stupid -- he has consensual sex with women who aren't his girlfriend! he smokes pot! --- and some of it is serious -- he froze funds in pension funds for his employees! But yikes. The sense of betrayal people have.
