Well, the collards sucked donkey balls. Unbeknownst to me, the wife followed a new recipe and put a ton of sugar in them.
Inedible. Plain and simple. Where I come from, sugar doesn't touch collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, or any other kind of greens.
Meat/fat grease, maybe some meat, salt, water, greens. That's it. I wouldn't eat the collards, which pissed off SWMBO, because she worked her butt off cooking them today.
Collards went on the compost pile, I went to the grocery store, and now I have a simmering pot of turnip/mustard greens on the stove.
All is well again in Casa de Guyon. Except for the pissed-off significant other, who seems to be cooling down and playing with the children.
She did make me some more corn bread while I was gone to the grocery store, so all can't be lost. :p

That turned out better than my education on these matters.

A few years ago, I came home from a hard day to a "new chicken recipe" that was so bad I couldn't eat it. Being the King of my Castle, I opened the back door and tossed plate and all to the dog. This felt really good for about two seconds until I followed the plate out the back door propelled by a size seven planted squarely in my ass. Now, when we have a "new recipe" it's always "Wow, this is delicious".
 
Point well taken. It could have gone worse.
I had Ethan's new kitchen knives out, and they're sharp. :p
I've survived 18 years married to her. Looks like I might live to see 2013.
And honestly, rarely (almost never) does she cook anything I don't like.

My reboot on the greens went well, taste-wise.
I guess it's true you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.
This is culinary Nirvana, as far as I'm concerned. Greens with "pot liquor," corn bread, black-eyed peas, and chow chow.
I even tapped some 'Aught Five pepper sauce that'll scorch your pubes off. :thumbup:

that's because it's supposed to be taken internally, not used externally.

As it stands, I still can't shave hair. I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong.

I did drop it down to 18 degrees per side. I used the coarse, medium, fine stones. Then I stropped on green and black compound. I still can't frickin' shave. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
 
Cbear, get a fine red india, some WD40 and learn to freehand it. You'll pick it up in an evening.

You may be flipping the burr back and forth from one side to another. A few passes on an India might remove it.
 
Did you try the sharpie trick? Also make sure your hitting the apex and forming a burr with each stone then removing it. At very worst you can send it to me :D to be sharpened

EDIT: on the 4th picture it looks like you still have a burr that hasn't been removed towards the tip. Try pulling the edge through some hardwood a few times to remove it then strop.
 
Did the sharpie trick... It seemed like I was hitting the whole thing.

I don't have an india stone, so that poses an issue. However I just pressed a bit harder on my strop and I was able to, after a few passes, shave the hair on my arm.
 
I'm on my phone so I didn't see it right away, but there is a burr in that pic. DJ is right. I'd color your edge with sharpie and go back to you fine stone and do a few passes on each side to see if you are removing it all. If you are removing it all, do some passes alternating sides with very light pressure. Do say ten passes per side. When you do the sharpie you have to look very close to make sure that you are removing it all to the very edge.
 
Better picture showing how the dye did on my PM2 and the sweet new Cryo from CB:

Loving both, I've been switching back and forth.
 
Did you put the spring back in, or leave it out?

Honestly, in my opinion it didn't NEED the spring, and I actually preferred it with out.
