You can do great stuff on a margin.

Look on-line to your local PBS station.

I think you can also get selected videos at their home site and they have a YouTube Channel:

You can find a lot of their recipes online by looking up by the title + Cooks Illustrated or Cooks Country, and finding a ‘modified’ one. They’re usually pretty identical.

But, the books that they publish of each season really are good.

I can cut the bakery bread into very thin slices if I want with this knife. Expensive but it will last a long time.

Wusthof 9” Double Serrated Bread Knife Classic $79.95
https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Double-Serrated-Bread-Classic/dp/B008R09EFM

I had a J.A. Henckels Chef’s knife that was a step up from what I had used before but after seeing the Pioneer Women http://thepioneerwoman.com/ use this Wusthof Classic Nakiri Vegetable Knife with Hollow Edge knife for a recipe at her website I ordered one as it looked effortless when she was cutting vegetables. Neat site she has.

When I received the knife I bought some carrots and celery and it was effortless. It was like a razor thru the vegetables. Not a chore anymore.
https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Classic-Nakiri-Vegetable-Hollow/dp/B002NXNFZO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I ordered some additional knives from Wusthof as a result.

Very sharp..... All slice thru anything. Buy quality and it will pay off.

I bought several Wusthof knives. The Classic 5.5-inch Sandwich Knife, Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set and Wusthof 4152 Classic 9-inch Double Serrated Bread Knife bread knife, Wusthof Classic Ikon 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife along with the Wusthof 17 Slot Walnut Storage Block.

I like the cool metallic scraping sound sound the knives make as I either insert or pull them out of the storage block. The grocery store utility knife I have just makes a dull thunk.

Gosh, that looks like it’s from the ‘50s or ‘60s. How does it work?

When you push the handle back, the silver looking piece with all the slits in it raises up. Underneath it is a plate that you put the meat on.

When you pull the handle toward you, the slitted piece goes down pressing against the meat and the blades roll thru the slits almost cutting thru the meat.

You then push the handle back and the plate the meat is on rotates 90 degrees, So when you pull the handle toward you the meat is sliced again at 90 degrees to the first cuts.

It sure helps me make chicken fried venison.

Gotta yap about the Kitchenaid stand mixer again.

I use it to make bread, pizza dough, mix meatloaf, shred chicken and beef(meat must be flakeable and still warm), make cookies and cakes and frosting, scramble eggs...

I don’t know what all!

Can’t live without a crock pot or food processor either.

Apologies for the lack of culinary sophistication...but as a single guy, I could not do without:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/kitchenaid-2-speed-hand-mixer-onyx-black/3793812.p?id=1218432160353&skuId=3793812

Use it several times a week, cleans up easily, my two prerogatives.

One of the best inventions I can remember is the electric crock pot.

Dang straight!

I'm so sorry darlins but I stand it anymore!! I've got to post a recipe!!!!

Cuban Pork Sandwiches

Throw into your crockpot a pork loin and 1/3 to 1/2 bottle of Mojo Criollo marinade. Set on low. Go to work.

When you get home either throw the tenderloin into tupperware and serve leftovers and go to bed early OR chop it up and put it on a tasty roll. Add a slice of Black Forest ham and a bit of Swiss cheese. Toast til cheese is melted. Add some sliced up pickles (Claussens). Top with French's mustard.

You can even dump the bread and wrap everything in the ham.

People I work with always ask me to bring this in but the most requested is Chicago Italian Beef.

Post it when we do a sandwich post. Best food ever!

Excellent. And thank you for not ruining the sandwich with salami, like they do in Tampa.
