Sounds great. Looks like you are on the right path to better eating. Tell me more about ginger water. We drink a ton of lemon/ginger tea. I cut off the caffeine at 1pm.

I can tell right away if there is any imitation crab in a dish. Happens a lot with stuffed mushrooms and seafood salad. Probably used more to increase profit rather than keep costs down.  But to each their own. People love california rolls. Not me. I will not go near that stuff.

Fresh ginger sliced up and added plain water. I guess you could make ginger water if you let it soak. Hmm.
True, that imitation crab was used as a filler. Allowed place to sell them at a better price for the masses. Pure crab cakes would be big $. You know. Didn't hide that was in t he mix,but didn't brag about it.

We grate ginger, squeeze and slice up some lemons, add a touch of honey, and boil with water to and make "tea."  We may or may not add a teabag. Delicious and good for the stomach.

With all this crab discussion, I am craving fish. Might have to make a trip to the Japanese market.

Game changer.
I stubbornly tried to maintain my hand sharpening was enough.
It wasn't. 
This solved that, quite easily.

I was just sharpening my knives and thought about this post. I pretty much got the process down to a science, but holy shit it is time-consuming. Then I asked myself, do I really need a knife to pass the grape test? I just need it sharp enough to where I won't be annoyed trying to slice pork skin... maybe I'll just get an electric sharpener. Then I went, oh shit I think F Me posted about it! Took a minute for me to find this post, but now we're here. How's the post-honeymoon phase sharpening going?
