Not sure if I'm a genius or idiot. I haven't had good luck with Alfredo. We had some cheese tortellini that needed eaten. So I just made a cheese sauce like I was making mac and cheese... Because while I can't make Alfredo, cheese gravy is no problem. Mac and cheese tortellini is pretty good.

Women are great at pretending it was just such a hectic day because they had to juggle such normally insurmountable tasks as listening for an oven timer after driving a kid to school and changing a disper. No offense, but you sound like you believe all women.

First rewatch I did was interesting because you know there isn't supernatural stuff in the end and it was very clear that while the setting and themes had some of that by their nature it was never meant as that kind of show. It was always a buddy cop show with flawed characterd struggling to...

I thought I've seen that like 5% of the population can actually multitask effectively, and probably increasing with all the super autists. But maybe that's just hyper switching? Either way, most people, as you say, are just task switching, and poorly. Some people can do it better than others...

I haven't gotten to flipping through half of them. Think I just picked up the French one recently thinking I needed some refinement in my repertoire. Step one, look up how to spell repertoire. The dozen test kitchen cook books I have total now are pretty redundant, but the baking book and...

Here are the library friends donations I've snagged in the last year or so. More than I thought.... Almost feel like I've taken enough I should feel guilty. Including two "I Love Cinnamon Rolls" books because apparently I forgot I'd already snagged one. Not sure if I'm a klepto or horder...

Olive oil cakes can be pretty good even not liking olive oil. Most cakes and batters like that have oil. Betty Crocker and other box mixes aren't usually too bad. They at least have good ratios. Just use good quality oil, real vanilla, good eggs, etc. The dry ingredients aren't going to be as...

I think the difference is you were making a quick and easy frozen potato casserole and it was represented as such. Which is cool and that sounds good to me. It gets more tricky if you're making (or in the case I brought up sharing or advertising) a classic dish and it's not only not traditional...

I've been collecting free (to me) cookbooks that come through the library donations. It's fun looking up a recipe for something pretty standard and seeing so many variations. Got some old, terrible ones a well that are interesting too. Now I'm curious how many different chowder recipes I have...

A pedant might argue that ultra processed cream of factory soup isn't "good food," but I'm not that kind of dick. What I thought was part of the funny was right after frying 7 strips of bacon would have been a pretty easy step to just stir in flour for a few minutes. Would have been cheaper...

For msg I just cut the guide from the label and taped it to an old salt bottle. Has work as an okay place to start estimating for American recopes. And cut down on salt in some recipes too since Asians are usually using sauces and msg instead of added salt and too much salt and msg can end up a...

My girlfriend's family still uses the tubs of hydrogenated oil spread. On the table for spreading on cold rolls. Added to box mashed potatoes or whatever they're "cooking." Shit tastes weird and is... Greasy? We started bringing our own butter chips to the great confusion of everyone. But...

I've stopped using clam base in my chowder, so have to add msg directly. Uncle Roger would be so proud!

So, yeah, the downfall of western civilization like @Aldarion said? ;)

That's what the Dill weed in that clam chowder recipe is for. Once there is no cohesive flavor profile you don't care if the delicate flavors are overpowered.

I agree and am not opposed to canned soup. I'll use Progresso cream of mushroom with mushrooms to make a mushroom heavy stroganoff. Their French onion soup as a base in some dishes. So wouldn't go so far as he does saying any canned soup in any recipe is too far. Canned soup in a soup recipe...

Yes, the processed canned soup will thicken it. Gag. The pictures. Gag. The recipe overall is funny and imo not normal at all. The self praise from the uploader "teen7043" saying it's better than a restaurant and actually the best ever. It's a pretty high bacon to soup ratio, assuming "6 -7...

Triple A Next Gen immersion???

Buuuuhhht, what does being a blockbuster movie have to do with it?

Is food.com a satire site? This is the funniest clam chowder recipe I've ever seen. https://www.food.com/recipe/thick-and-creamy-new-england-clam-chowder-52272

Tone it down with the racism and antisemitism.

Can you taste it much? I really don't like the flavor of olive oil, and the hotter it gets the more I dislike it. Room temp oil and balsamic is good, but can't even lower temp sautee with it. Not sure what happened toe, since I grew up with a lot of sauteing in olive oil I almost wonder if I...

Something weird is happening. Good, American movies suck and aren't very popular with the us, but studios don't care because they'll make a ton of money internationally so keep forcing that shit onto us. Same as the gaming industry. Also compounded by the factor that our money from what used...

A lab leak that drives everyone crazy and to herd mentality where they all volunteer to kill themselves. So a documentary, of sorts? Could be interesting...

This thread has been fire recently. Of the dumpster variety. Not complaining. It's been pretty awesome.

I'm also not sure I buy into all the hate for seed oils. I think the more important thing is a trusted company and finding ones that don't use chemicals to extract the oil. That said, I avoid canola or soy oils and generic vegetable oils 99% of the time. And I don't like the taste of most oils...

I remember when the Avatar trailer came out and they actually included the cliche "not in Kansas anymore" line featured in the trailer and I realized it was for retards and chicks (read as: retards) and refused to pay to see that shit in the theater even though my retarded girlfriend at the time...

Depends, of course. My library is a pretty large regional one and doesn't have games. Same problem with Blu-ray in that they get damaged too easily and can't run through the repair/resurfacing machine. Whereas DVDs (and previously audio and music CDs) can go through the machine like 10 times, so...

A decent argument along the lines of the dumb point you're trying to make would be that Woody and Matty didn't just show up and read lines. By all accounts, they did a lot of production work and really threw themselves into the show and did a lot to help it along. And that was the difference in...

Oh gawd. Are the marketing geniuses at fast food restaurants going to start calling everything birria whether it has any relevance or not? It's the new hot term in the food "space". We just barely got over brioche and all the buns that were disgustinly not resembling brioche. And I don't miss...

Frostpunk was a cool game. Pun indeed intended. I don't know if day one Game Pass means they're finding success but will play 2 and glad to see it

You're funny. Do you take requests? I'd like to see you deconstruct more shows by simply pointing out if you take away elements that make it good it more resembles genres that don't have the expectation of those elements.

Can the production crew manage to show a single full replay anymore? I notice it a lot these days where they show snippets and weird camera angles, but can't manage to just show the play again.

Strip out most of the components that go into a quality production and the production isn't going to seem high quality? That's some high level analysis. And I'm not a huge defender of the season 1 writing in a vacuum. It's clear it took PizzaLotto many years to hammer that thing into something...

I have a knack for seasoning dependant sauces. Like BBQ or finishing sauces. Pan sauces. Extend that to dripping gravies or seasoning chili or stroganoff. I'll try to look at recipes, but get annoyed and wing it. Or once I was trying to follow a recipe for a finish sauce for pulled pork and...

Yeah, guys, we just gotta keep fighting for good games! Sorry, you're like 15 years behind the times. Not saying you have to like the shit being shovelled in our direction. Not saying you're not right, it is on us, but we're often responsible as a society for things that aren't our fault as...

Fight? What fight is to be had? I can hope for the betterment of society in one hand and Fecebook in the other. The problem is we know which fills up first, and increasingly which one we'll be forced to eat. Demoralized people check out and rely on appeasement of the dissonance they feel...

I didn't say a society programmed by algorithms and AI is good, you dusty potato. I said it sucks and is bad for everything, but that won't have any bearing on its success or reception. For thinking you're so smart, you have really shitty reading comprehension.

It's like being remotely interested in decent picture quality on a TV. Not a nut, just got an OLED and maybe a basic setup disk and pay attention to the TV height and distance you're sitting at. Easy way to enhance something most people spend a lot of time in front of. Then 9/10 people's houses...
