16 Apologies to ace but I wanted to jump on something from the last thread. Not looking to hijack, I just need attention.

Ok not really, I just want a few opinions and we seem to have plenty of those.

I may end up redoing my very modest kitchen in the near future. This will involve putting in a small island. I am a hobby baker so I am wondering what you good people think of a marble countertop, and - if you don't, is there is a sufficient, cheaper or better alternative.

I am not looking to compromise on this for no reason - like, it will be the most important part of my new kitchen. I've never "done" a kitchen (shut up).

Nope. Marble is much more porous. That is it's biggest problem; it stains.

44 Yes, Duke, we did - hubby's birthday and that's what he wanted.

Ellipses, get the marble. If you like to bake, that is the best surface. Excellent for rolling out pie dough, because it stays cold, thus helping to keep the fat solidified and the final result flaky. Good for other baking as well, but that is reason enough for me. We like pie in our house.

A friend of mine is a professor and the college was switching to all whiteboards, no more chalkboards.
They threw them all out in a big pile. She hired a contractor to collect and install them in her kitchen. Darned if they don't make wonderful black countertops when cleaned up.

Ellipsis, marble is fine for baking--such as dough prep etc. but it does require more work such as sealing it on a regular basis and can stain quite easily.

My mother was from Pipestone, MN. It was the area where Indians all over the country sourced their stone for peace pipes. It seems that the Indians were geologists.

All natural materials will stain to some extent if not sealed and cared for.

73 Natural stone is porous and has to be sealed at least on an annual basis if not more.

Some of the newer synthetics--stone plus polymer binders like silestone quartz etc look like marble but don't have to be sealed.

Dunno about baking but basically you want something to act as a heat sink and marble was the old traditional. As someone mentioned, black marble might be an option as it is harder to stain it obviously.

That was a common way for the peaceful, one-with-nature indians of North America to hunt them.

They'd drive them into mud so that they couldn't move, then they'd hack the legs off the living, bleating animal while it was trapped in the muck and drag the torso back to camp.

102 All my kitchen counters are butcher block. Stains easily and is difficult to clean. The previous owner was told to put butcher block in by their real estate agent because their countertops were too unsightly. I shudder to think what could be worse than butcher block.

I hate it but not enough to try to change it at the moment. Also all the cabinets, sink, walls, appliances, light fixtures, floor and pantry also suck. I may not hate the ceiling but I haven't really thought about it a lot.

108 That schooner in the top pic is clearly one hell of a blue-water sailing ship. Absolutely gorgeous.

But looking at the rig, it's gonna take a bit of a crew to manage. Straight up, old school, Jack Tar sailing, no different than hundreds of years ago.

Modernizing it with self-furlers, lazy-jacks, stainless winches, block-leads, line-clutches and the like, would be sins on that ship. Some things are just the way they're supposed to be, and this ship is one such, exactly so.

I think marble is vulnerable to acids.

I would think that other kinds of stone - that aren't vulnerable to acid - would be just as good as a heat sink for baking.

If you desperately want marble for use in baking, you can always get a marble slab that can be moved away from things that would damage it.

You will break any glass or ceramic bowl you put down too hard, and if you drop cast iron on it you may chip it.

At some point you will want to clamp something, a mill, a cherry pitter, or something to it, and you will be afraid of chipping or marring it.

Corian and formica are far more forgiving and Corian is sturdier.
If you want the granite for a cold surface to work pastries on, look into getting a marble board to knead on. I was taught to not use your countertop to knead on, and always use a floured cloth, a board, or what I do now, use a large pasta serving platter.

Also post more about your baking on the food thread.

178 High maintenance is all I'll say. They scratch easily, but the scratches can be buffed out.

To keep them looking sharp they need to be rubbed down with mineral oil.
Posted by: browndog

Or not - The old house had them and I didn't put on the oil for 10 years. After a short time, it develops it's version of a patina and is care free. Another benefit - if you are a moron and forget to pull something out of the freeze to thaw to supper until you got home from work, go ahead - put that frozen whatever on the soapstone and it will thaw it quickly.

182 If you want the granite for a cold surface to work pastries on, look into getting a marble board to knead on. I was taught to not use your countertop to knead on, and always use a floured cloth, a board, or what I do now, use a large pasta serving platter.

185 ..Probably one of the many places in/around Kemah but Galveston is only a little farther. Do you have any recommendations pro or con as to a particular school?
Posted by: Oddbob at January 10, 2023 08:13 PM (nfrXX)

I'm long out of touch with the "Who's Who" of the local sailing school franchises. But, I'll mention that when I was G.M. of one such in Kemah, that the United States Sailing Association organization seemed to be a more squared away operation than the competing American Sailing Association. Either though, can and will get you a valid Blue Water Sailing/Navigation and Bareboat Charter Certification. Neither cuts corners in terms of getting you a solid sailing education, so I'll just tell you to research 'em, interview 'em, sort 'em out and pick the one you LIKE. Or, at least the one you'll think you'll like.

Don't hesitate to change one for the other, just so long as you do so while in the Basic Sailing courses. Once you've stacked up a wall full of certifications, the time and expense of re-doing it all would be daunting, indeed.

Posted by: AlaBAMA at January 10, 2023 08:15 PM (mE7cY)

mine too. So I'm learning about it. Seems to me if you just keep them nice and clean, like any countertop, and then hit it with that granite & marble cleaner once a week, you're good. Mine sparkles.

As to the hot pans? I dunno. They say it's ok and it won't crack. But I don't want to risk it, and use potholders anyway. It's too nice for me want to test the design envelope with my own shit.

Heh. Quartz is probably the lowest maintenance option out there. We replaced our countertops several years ago and went through all the options back then--soapstone, granite, quartz, and so on. Didn't consider wood at all but wood works okay if you protect it by sealing it and sanding as necessary and don't use it as a cutting board.

On quartz, even if you do have it, not advisable to put hot pots on it directly. Use a trivet as it won't burn but it can crack.

I learned a couple of weeks ago that my nephew's wedding is in June. My sister texted me asking if I was coming. I said I hadn't yet received an invitation.

My brother's and sisters are now having a group e-mail discussion about places to stay, etc. And I found out that the reason I hadn't gotten an invitation is because there's a limited number of places for family members and I'm on, I guess, the wait list. I'd been looking forward to it. Now I'd just as soon not bother.

227 Nice granite top on the island in the kitchen. Have now recently used both it, and a silicon mat placed on it, for working/rolling out pie dough. Not much difference, mat took a little less care/flour to keep things non-sticky.

I froze the butter and chilled the bowl and the flour, used only a baker's cutting tool and knife, and a big fork (never touched anything with my hands til the very final stage), chilled the dough for a few hours. It worked. Very flaky excellent crust for 4 small chicken pot pies. I used Italian Joe's (UToob chef) recipe, which subs in a milk/egg mixture for ice water. So that'll be my standard approach to pie dough now.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at January 10, 2023 08:44 PM (MoZTd)

Serious response, there's nothing wrong with however you feel about it.

Weddings can be awfully expensive for the couple, and if they need to limit how many people to invite, it makes way more sense to be all or nothing with whatever level of family you are or aren't inviting.

In other words, if you have siblings who are invited, and you're not, the couple is committing a pretty serious social mistake.

US Sailing. United States Sailing Assnciation.

One and the same.

Oddbob. I'd write to three or so Bareboat Charter Operations down in the Caribbean. Inquire as to their preference, for an American Sailing Assn. certification, or such from United States Sailing Assn.

Given the dearth of USSA operations in Texas now, I think I'd go the ASA route by default, as wide-area support IS your friend!

Thank you. I want her to feel that wave of peace that you felt in the Middle East when your MIL swung into action with her prayer group.

345 Prayers for Mr. D'oh. God bless and good luck

Posted by: Smell the Glove at January 10, 2023 09:47 PM (bbnWS)

346 Okay, Horde, I have a very specific prayer request from Jane D'oh.

Thank you for the update. I remember one time when my mom came home from a 2 day hospital stay after a fall, she was disoriented and semi-incoherent. More than her normal Alzheimer, that is. The doc had some scary sounding name for it that I can't recall at the moment and it took a few days for her to settle down to (her) normal.


maybe Cringeshaw will learn from this

if he's smart, he will get some help and grow a ll little

To do that, he'd have to admit that he was wrong, if only to himself. Has he ever said or done anything to make you think he is capable of that?

Any special maintenance needed?

Yes glued to 3/4" plywood. Regular grout with silicone sealer. No special maintenance. I can provide a photo if we can somehow trade emails

352 I also told Jane this morning about flounder's heart attack, and olddig's wife's hematoma on her hip nerve, and she asked me to let them know she is praying for them too.
Posted by: bluebell at January 10, 2023 09:45 PM (pTb/Z)

Prayers for Mr D'oh, flounder, and Mrs olddog

353 Vmom, flounder seems to be doing okay. He posted himself, and apparently it was mild. But still. Not the way you want to start your day.

Posted by: bluebell at January 10, 2023 09:51 PM (pTb/Z)

354 hospitals are terrible, the light is on all the time, everything goes beep and the nurses and staff wander in and out all the time. It can disorient people badly over a couple of days or longer

If anyone has an update on Flounder let me know

You're the best! As I told Jane, when you're in need of prayers yourself and you take the time to pray for others, I think it must please God greatly.

OK got it thanks. Definitely distracted tonight. Our second oldest cat (could be the oldest as he was fully grown when he adopted us in 200 appears to be on his last legs and we are very sad. He must be over 15-16 years of age.

Posted by: lin-duh at January 10, 2023 09:19 PM (UUBmN)

I make mine by hand. I don't even have to think about it. I've done it for over 29 years, and it's pretty much automatic. It's sort of like making biscuits. Don't think, just cook.

YMMV.

Rhomboid I like to overcomplicate things so I invented a "hybrid" method where I start my dough in the food processor just to break the butter up, then I do the rest as you would by hand.

I routinely get told I make the best pie crust - but I will admit it's also very rich which people love. I use heavy cream as the liquid.

Thanks flyover. This is good advice. Yes I do pastry and plan to do more. It's funny because not an hour ago I was thinking about the height thing. Right around when you were posting. And now you're probably gone but it's all good, I got your message.
