No. Feel free to try reading again. She would provide dinner. If we didn't want to eat it that was our problem and we could wait until the next meal. Her job was to provide, not appeass. She wasn't going to make a fucking scene begging or bribing us to eat. And she certainly wasn't going to let...

It's probably mostly a modern problem of abundance and toxic feminity. As a kid we were getting 99% of our meals at home or school. Our options were eat what is provided, or don't. Next meal wasn't going to be fancy, but it also wasn't going to be that far away. I'd refuse to eat okra, corned...

Good idea. The cast iron wok is heavy as hell and would be iffy, but a lighter wok would be good that way. It's probably not technically very safe to have the cast iron wok in that rinky dink grill at all though. The fold down legs have never inspired confidence, especially if I'm crusting a...

My tiny grill testing how I liked charcoal isn't cutting it anymore. I've like charcoal grilling so need to get a full size grill. Your mentioning woks with grills on my mind makes me thing the tiny grill might be perfect to just start coals and then set my cast iron wok right into it like a...

Sets and costumes and art are rarely the problem even in gay Hollywood. The question is going to be the writing. Macro level writing is hard to screw up with such an established IP. So micro, dialog level writing will be a big question. That and whether the show just happens to have a lot of...

Girlfriend made her chocolate pie using Lotus Biscoff cookies using the crust recipe from their website with some added cinnamon. Came out perfect, held together well, tasted good, firm but melted in mouth. No more stuck bricks or crumbling messes.

So sick of dealing with retards in every store. Had to return a cam shaft seal that the rubber started to peel when I was installing it. Was right after daylight savings and the open sign wasn't on, confusing but door was unlocked. The dumb chick was on her phone and had to finish up before...

We're to the point either store bought or I just use the pie crust as a bowl. My girlfriend makes a chocolate pie that just ends up being mousse because the crust always fuses to the dish or crumbles.

Did mashed au gratin with soaking the slices in cream and the adding some to the top. Looked soupy enough I was worried, but soaked in and was really good. Probably could have done more cream. Not sure how much the cream soak helped, but it worked at least. Didn't have enough slices so had to...

Basic hard shell taco is $1.99 locally. Supreme is $2.79. We sometimes pick up Taco Bell for my girlfriend's grandpa. 3 hard taco supremes... and he gives us a fiver to cover it and tells us to keep the change like it's still 90s pricing. Not sure if he's senile or shrewd making us pay the...

Not bad for leftover mashed potatoes and random cheese on hand. Needed cheese in the mash and Parm on top. I did skins on most because I like the flavor, but the peeled test section nearest worked better in texture and cooked down more into expected au gratin style. Not all that different than...

Was maybe 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge and extra potatoes since the 10# bag was cheaper than other options, so trying it out on a small scale. Only had some expiring gruyere on hand so went with that. Kinda weird to pair with spaghetti, but it's for science. They smell good...

We figured some things out together before she passed, but after multiple bouts with chemo over the years she couldn't remember things very well. Had to have her make clam chowder as I took notes to get it close to how I liked it, for instance. She couldn't just explain it, had to do it. I...

You'd think so, but it didn't help make a crust except on the very edges. Gonna try cooking the sauce closer to caramel first, or maybe take the cake out a bit earlier and finishing on the stovetop. Sometimes cast iron recipes seem to hinder bakes compared to (high conduction?) aluminum. I...

Apparently, according to a very quick search this is a controversial topic. I don't like them too crunchy so do thinly sliced raw onions on a topmost layer. Never thought to saute them a bit first...

Target has the Diablo bundle for $450 plus a $75 gift card and any additional coupons or red card discount. Ends today bet seems a decent deal because if the bonus gift card.

Turned out delicious but very wet and not caramelized much. Almost like a poke cake. The recipe my girlfriend had me doing was to just dissolve the brown sugar in the butter over low heat. Looking into it after and Serious Eats says to almost make caramel then add pineapple and set aside so it...

Found it at the local ding and dent grocer that randomly has random stuff (so bought like 6 bottles because might never see it again). Available online, apparently. I put it in all kinds of stuff, from sesame/mandarin chicken sauce to Shepard's pie. And it almost makes me like pancakes...

Before or after? Or both... Used real pineapple and I've heard some recipes work best with canned. Pineapple upside down cake is a favorite I recently rediscovered, so might just make one a week experimenting until I either figure it out or die of the beetus. Might need to finally buy a...

Pineapple upside down cake. Was pretty sure it was going to overflow, but thankfully didn't. It's a bit weepy. Might have to look into techniques to maybe precook the sugar and butter further into caramel first, so the bottom is crunchier, if that would work? Or let it cool in the pan...

Last year we did candied butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes. Marshmallows on top. Sweetened up, including bourbon cask aged maple syrup that is amazing when needing sweet and depth of flavor. Was really good. Would be on my Thanksgiving menu. Might just make it for the heck of it. Then...

Yeah was thinking it could end up with too much wet and turn soupy. Or it would be amazing with crispy potatoes, then a cheesy creamy layer, then mashed. Either way will have to try it. Hard to mess up potatoes. Girlfriend's grandpa complains anytime anyone brings anything good or wants to have...

Good looking potatoes dish. Wonder about doing the top layer as the Serious Eats Hassleback potatoes and soaking them in cream first. Or maybe not necessary. Love potatoes like that. Wish we were allowed to bring any side dishes to thanksgiving. We got put in canned green beans this year and...

Can't wait for Stephen A to explain why the Draymond Green suspension is racist. Warriors have gotten weird the last few years. Even Klay Thompson has gotten a chip on his shoulder and acts like a punk ass bitch fairly regularly. Add Chris Paul and the team feels so off brand from their heyday...

Good point on them cheaping out on voicing multiple, extra main characters. Instead they're just making the voice and old, powerful vampire some stuffy old man. Hope there is a way to fight against this perpetuation of the patriarchy, otherwise it'll seem quite problematic.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the nonbinary stuff is toned down and it's just that there are still ample chicks with dicks and dude with tits options! I could have my hetro female character stuck with a lesbian alter ego inside her.

Clicked on thread and been so long it took me to the first page. Started feeling hopeful before realizing it. Still, this could be good, right?

I know Japan is pretty homogeneous and has better general work ethic, so curious if Japan also has those parts of town or certain establishments that are subpar based seemingly on the demographics of the workers like in America. For instance, usually the good Taco Bell is in the whiter...

Any thoughts on sunflower seeds? I spend a lot of time at work driving and gum helps me stay awake and ears popped for an elevation change, but chewing gum as a bearded man feels like a revocation of my man card. Was thinking maybe sunflower seeds would be more manly, but haven't had any in...

Maybe the show was brilliant comedic satire and we all just took it too seriously...

Can't see Amazon stuff. What it is? Can't quote either apparently. Asking about the bacon thing @LiquidDeath posted

I thought the temples and associated quests were essentially the NG+ system. I lost interest with the temples and powers. Can I finish the base game and do NG+ without temples and those very dumb quests?

My favorite Walking Dead wtf moment was them having a very hard time killing the zombies in full riot gear at the prison to then never think of using any of the armor for themselves. Technically there was a scene or two when someone used the armor, which makes it worse because it was on their...

Don't know about freezing. Just fresh ones lasting forever in the fridge while. Partially is I got thos gas absorber things and really seem to be helping. I'd probably make a sauce. Vinegar to preserve or freeze in a bbq sauce or something more processed.

No brown. You just scramble at high temps for only like 90 seconds. The couple times I did it they were very fluffy. Otherwise I like the very low stiring method.

I've had garden habaneros in the fridge for two months. They last pretty well. But yes, worth retaining. And hot peppers do great with neglect and get nice and hot.

I've found I do more and more things higher temps. 400 doesn't seem high enough for how I cook I guess. Most stuff that would call for sauteeing I've found I prefer a high temp stir fry style more. Even found a high temp, quick scrambled egg recipe but the girlfriend usually does breakfast and...
