Food entry

[pantryslut]

Porn Week has a tendency to wreak havoc on my meal planning -- and cooking. We call it "porn and pizza week" because we order a lot of takeout. Also, imnotandrei has recently mastered the art of the homemade pizza, and it did come into play this past week as well. But I do have two small food items to note:

1) Recent item of deliciousness: onion confit, which is basically a lot of sliced onions cooked very slowly in a dose of red wine. It makes a pretty decent pasta sauce, and a really outstanding pizza topping (see above). This is good enough, and keeps so well, that I may just have a batch around at all times, for emergency's sake. (I may reconsider this in different weather, though.)

2) I have got to be the only person in the world who has managed to stab herself with a pizza cutter.

Pizza cutting to the quick

Congrats on finishing the porn viewing! The closest thing I've ever experienced to such a motionless marathon was viewing Wagner's Ring Cycle at the SF Opera, which was something like 18 hours (including intermissions) over two weeks. I suspect you've watched many, many more hours than that.

2) I have got to be the only person in the world who has managed to stab herself with a pizza cutter.

Are we talking one of those round pizza cutters that you roll across the pizza? If so, I'm having trouble visualizing this one. (And I'm not looking forward to the prospect of having to give up my crown as King of All Klutzes, which has been in my family now for two generations.)

Yes, we are talking about a round pizza cutter. If you want to duplicate this phenomenon at home, take the edge of the pizza cutter and jab it directly into your skin. Don't roll it, just push straight in, as rapidly as possible, as if you were hitting or stabbing yourself with it.

It was a dishwashing accident and my hand slipped. I apparently have a high-quality, extra-sharp pizza cutter.

Ouch! I understand dishwashing accidents. I once dropped a soapy slick glass bowl while doing dishes. It broke, and a piece bounced up, slicing open my wrist. Had to go the emergency room for stitches and all.

Still, that's an impressively sharp pizza cutter. Probably does well with thick crust and everything. I'd keep an eye on it in the future, though. Once it's tasted human blood, slicing pepperoni just isn't the same....

now i've done the onions cooked very slowly in white wine (oh so delicious), but the red never occured to me. i'll try it.
