I was wondering how you were making out. It helps if you shout “porra” at the beans if they’re not cooking down

@Giles

@SKT thanks man! Honestly it’s hard to rate. It takes a decent amount of preplanning and patience but I’d say 5 out of 10 in terms of difficulty. Need to be okay with working a saw for half cuts and pay extra care to foundation/side wall.

My dad had his own landscaping business and used to work high school and college summers with him. I helped w about 7 or 8 of these brick walkways back then so was a lot more comfortable doing this than the damn deck - no secret YouTube is a hell of a resource but feel free to DM if you do decide to take it on.

It’s getting there! Pry for the best I’m limited to working on it mostly during the weekends, lower back is shot ️

@Giles whoa, good audible… add in vinegar too.

Looking for something like this

@Giles xoxo!!! My apologies on initially writing crock pot but you’ll be good cooking down in a Dutch oven or the like but pry for about 2 hours instead of the 20 minutes w the pressure cooker.

Tomato sauce and crushed red pepper sauce aka Pimenta Moida or Pimenta da Terra

For Red Sox fans, easily the highlight to a miserable first half of the season

@mclaincausey did you see highlights of them at Fenway? I’ve been to a few playoff games where you could feel the foundation shake and it looked like nothing compared to what the Scottish (dodged that one) did during a regular season mid June game. Fucking awesome.

@goosehd haha rankings shmankings… group B is up for grabs!!

Ughhh. And I knew better. Just a masshole from a mass a two shits ‍️

@AdamC the Scott’s have been brilliant over in New England. Drinking parts of Boston dry is no small feat and even ran into a large group in Providence. Infectious energy ️

@WhiskeySandwich I do not envy your weekend w the fiberglass installation! And really appreciate the reinforcement man. Spent a few late nights looking at it/planning and has been a fun process

Not much for visual progress on walkway and 14oz over the weekend but progress nonetheless. Pitch and foundation complete so should move “quicker” going forward. Establishing the pitch was very challenging and pry should’ve thought out the distance between steps a little more to help offset some but still should look good in the end.

@Giles @goosehd belated Portuguese Fava Bean recipe:
1lb dry favas - soak for 3 to 4 days (change out water after second day)

In crock pot edit: PRESSURE COOKER
-3/4 cup Portuguese olive oil (Saloio is the easiest to find stateside)
-About 5 tablespoons tomato sauce
-About 1/2 cup red wine
-2-3 tablespoons crushed portugues red pepper
-1/2 yellow onion (fine diced)
-3-4 cloves garlic
-About 1 tsp black pepper
-add water, enough to cover favas

• boil down on medium heat for about 20 minutes *gently shake cooker every 5 minutes or so, so beans do not stick to bottom
• release steam from pressure cooker (releasing steam can be dangerous and takes some time, about 5 minutes)
  -remove cover and continue to cook down on medium heat for about another 5 minutes till desired consistency
  -lastly, salt to taste, about 1/2 tbs

@goosehd

Happily @Giles. I’ll share when I have the recipe in front of me this weekend

More of a what are you cooking last night: my dads side of the family is from Portugal (Azores/the island of San Miguel specifically) and he makes a handful of dishes that are very near and dear to me. Over the years I’ve been doing my best to recreate these dishes w him while I still can. There is one dish that most likely would be my “final meal” dish and that would be his fava beans. It is a peasant dish (as are most of his recipes) and looks a bit of slop but holy feckin feck is it to die for… the marinade is simple (and found as the base for the majority of Portuguese home cooking): red wine, Portuguese red pepper sauce, Portuguese olive oil (yes, it actually tastes different than your standard italian olive oil) garlic, onion and pressure cook away. Also a good loaf of bread is a must as well to scoop up the marinade w each bite.
