    Pork especially really needs a brine imo. The trend of breeding less fatty pigs means they've lost a lot of moisture/flavor.

    Actually she does (did) let him and never reciprocated, which is one of the things, in addition to the blowjobs, he was so huffy about. So they are halfway there even without this recent boost!

    I make small batch ice cream in my ice cream maker almost every week... but I don't use eggs. Philadelphia style ice cream, fresh out of the churn, is hands down the best ice cream in the world. The downside is it doesn't keep well, eat it within hours of making it or the texture gets pretty...

    Use double acting baking powder and let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Don't overmix, will create to much gluten. Should fix it.

    I used different flavorants (variation on Alton Brown's Pomegranate Molasses Lamb), but yeah did the same thing. Tied it up, put it in a bag, put it in the bath @135F for 10 hours, seared it off after, ate. I did do one thing that I now do with all my red meat, which is "wet age" it in...

    On most maps a 4-1 rotation is the strongest possible laning option. Be in the 4, that is 4 globes/minute. Tributes give a globe, Sky Temple big guy gives a globe, every merc camp, etc. So minute 6-8 you should have gotten 25 globes. In low level games this is much harder because people don't...

    So many women I know regularly eat popcorn. Which is great for me, because making them gourmet popcorn (there are dozens of different varieties of the kernel that have different tastes) blows their mind and is somehow super impressive to them. Never met a guy who just... ate popcorn all the time.

    I don't think there really is a mage meta right now. Lots of pro games lately with one or zero Mages. Since they are the only ranged area burst and punish poor play, they are still very popular in HL.

    Just ran into a deck I hadn't seen before that makes so much sense in hindsight. Frost Giant+Charge+Faceless+Faceless. 30 damage, with Emp discount it costs 10 mana (Frost is free, 5+5+3 is 13, discounted once is 10). Combo is four cards. Entire rest of the deck can be draw/removal/armor. I...

    You're also not a streamer. Streamers get stream sniped. This has an impact on their average. Lots of variables that apply to them that don't apply to any of us (and I include myself in that statement even though I stream, because I'm not famous enough to get sniped).

    Don't know if it is the same company, but one I know is working on it agree with you. Texture is king. They developed a device that, essentially, reproduces the exact muscle fibers of actual meat by weaving proteins. In a few years they'll be able to produce a product that is nigh...

    I think a whole subreddit dedicated to it will probably have more ideas, but yeah, I used to do this a ton. When I was single it just made sense economically and time wise.

    Is a tempo deck and if it falls behind it loses. Been beating it all month with tempo Mage and double Flare face Hunter. Don't really like an all tempo meta, especially one where Rogue isn't viable since Rogue is my favorite tempo class.

    The entire meta feels very tempo based, coming back to the game after a break. Not many board clears, lots of annoying to kill minions. Usually if you ever fall behind you just lose.

    Nearly every american city has a tortilla factory that will happily sell directly to consumers. They are nigh impossible to find with the internet, because they don't really need websites.

    I mean I think Blizzard insisting on making their own engines for everything has always been a mistake. They are never as good as the engines they could license and customize. And it isn't like they are short on cash to do so. Scrims is probably the most fun I have in HotS lately and it is...

    Neither of them is very technically knowledgeable about the game, tbh. I find their casts to be pretty cringe worthy.
