haha Okay, I'll give it a few tastes during the cook to dail it in.
Thanks!
It was :)
I only made it as spicy as the recipe called for.
It had a lot of flavor but the spiceist thing was the Andouille sausage. Which is more of a black pepper heat than say a hot pepper imo.
If i were compare the spice, I would say it was close to a just ripe jalapeno.

Another, "Ive never eaten this so Im going to make it" recipe. Im not sure about the authenticity but I like using "easy" recipes the first time. It was another hearty meal of "arroz con cosas".
Now that I have more of the spices to make Gumbo, Ill be making that in a few weeks.
Its been a few years since Ive watched his videos but I learned a lot from them. I do recommend them.
Which stones to choose is more complicated. There are cheap stones, affordable stones and very expensive stones.
I only cook at home so for me the cheap(soft, material easily abrades, needs flattening more often) ones are fine. If I had to do it again, I would probably buy the King Combination 1000/6000 stones. They have a wider surface and I believe the grit levels are good enough.
If I were some type of professional, chief or sharpener, I would probably choose Shapton stones.
I just watched a lot of videos on sharpening with stones.
This stone set also came wirh a little attachment that puts the blade at roughly 20° that I used for a while until my body learned the correct angle.
I also do woodworking so sharpening things also a part of my skill set. So that helped me a lot.
Ill try and find something that resembles what I do. It takes about 2 minutes per knife.
Hmm thats interesting.
Its been a few months since I sharpened my kitchen knives.
They usually only need a touch up. Ill do a few strokes on the 400, 1000, and do a few more strokes on the 3000.
These stones are cheap ones I found online and the 8000 actually feels more aggressive than the 1000 so I usually dont use it.
After the 1000 grit I will strop it a few times on a strop I made from offcuts and some thick vegtan with green compound.

Yeah, that was a good feeling.
Everything happened so fast, I almost missed it.
