since i turned 18 my family has done this "family anniversary" type thing, where we have always made a point to all gather at my parents' place and hang out and talk and whatever. it feels like another holiday almost because everybody always gets together on this day, which obviously happens to be my birthday. i get bday gifts and then its just a day with my siblings and parents and i honestly love it and it's super fun.
when we celebrated this last time, i made steak diane for my parents, two brothers, sister, and her husband (and obviously myself). i had never made it before but it turned out FANTASTIC. they were really impressed by the fire from the cognac sauce, and the meal turned out to be amazing too. steak diane with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables, it was amazing, and we just got drunk after and watched various movies together and hung out. i legitimately used to be a NEET so i was really proud of myself for this as it was the first time i saw them all since i got a job and went back to school. felt really good about myself and my family was proud of me for getting my shit together. i dont think anything will ever top this

Cos I punched it.

Any problem, bag'o'fag?

Didn't take a picture, but Monday is my weekend, so I fried up two pork chops (salt, cayenne, black pepper, onion powder), deglazed pan with part honey apple cider vinegar (with mother) part chicken stock, scraped up the fond, added minced garlic and some canned mushroom, let reduce, added remaining mushroom, raisins, honey, more stock/vinegar, let reduce a bit, then a bit of flour to thicken.

Added some leftover white rice and collard greens. Once those reconstituted, I added the pork chops back to the pan, let them get warmer as I smothered them with the pan sauce, then ate. Really happy with the addition of the raisins.

>tfw my local kentucky's fried chicken looks like op's pic
>tfw it's been like that for years so never had to feel nostalgia toward that

It's help they remodel the kitchen once in a while, they can't expand where they are, but they can at least improve their shit

I will be serving the Elizabethan butter sauce with my chicken thighs today

The best onion ring is far better than the best fry.
The worst onion ring is far shittier than the worst fry.

I turned 21 a few months ago and I really want to into wine. My roommates have completely shit taste and only buy it in bulk to get fucked up.
How do I develop a sophisticated palette?

Thanks for all the info anon.

Forgot to mention that I'm planning to get a flattening stone (or maybe 2). I'm going to go for the larger ones because I think they make it easier to level the surface. Like the whetstones, they are also Naniwa.

Yeah, I've found YouTube to be a really good source of information. I've basically spent the last week just constantly watching sharpening videos about all sorts of different techniques and knife edge shapes (even though my knives just have basic 50:50 edges).

>Just remember it's never about how hard or fast you move the knife across the stone, it's about finding the right angle, that sweet spot, & working it til it's sharp

Top-notch advice m8. I will definitely try to remember this. I think it could be especially important if I do go for the Professional stones, as I've heard that they sharpen effectively under very slight pressure.

Really want to go for these stones now. They're expensive, but within my budget. Are there any potential problems (other than cracking as a result of oversoaking/improper drying) which can't be fixed with a stone fixer? If not, I think I will just commit and hopefully they will last me for a long time.
