Chef Jim Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 sh-- man, it just takes 20 minutes to boil the water. Another 30 to cook the pasta, then 10 minutes to strain. 430249[/snapback] Ten minutes to strain?? I said it in the orignal thread to BF and I'll say it again. What the !@#$ are you doing, sucking the water out of each individual piece of pasta?? Uh-oh, here we go again. I think I just started another 40 page monster.

Chef Jim Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was being sarcastic. 430259[/snapback] Well dammit, use one of those sarcastic smilie thingies. How the hell am I supposed to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course you don't start the water for the pasta until you're sure you have enough pickle juice. Otherwise you end up looking around for more pickles. In order to best prepare, you'll probably want to make some trial runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. 430279[/snapback] Boiling in the pickle juice doesn't give it that special flavor that makes retatta a delicacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the ladies just don't dig boiled pickled juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have an automatic pickle juicer it's really impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadofmularkey Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 You mean it doesn't take you guys three hours to make Kraft Macaroni & Cheese? My God, everytime I decide to fire up the Kraft, it's like friggin Thanksgiving. All the preparation work, followed by the boiling, the straining, the mixing...that is a tough dish. And don't even talk to me about Kraft Cheesier Macaroni. Sometimes it's not even worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
