    Probably work fine. It's surprising what you can actually use for batter / breading. Back in college, we were at Possum Kingdom for maybe spring break, buddies dad had a yacht and small condo, and we went up there a few times a year. At the marina, there's tons of easy to catch sunfish by...

    Asshole, it's an Amazon gadget made in China, you're not supposed to question it's capabilities! I will admit I'm curious to see how it ends up turning out, but despite breading fried food being a little messy, I've never felt the need to get a special device to keep my fingers clean. If we...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I think that Mortym 100% review talked about the latest update basically makes the game unplayable in act 3, even with a beast of a machine. Just massive lag no matter your settings.

    Yeah I need to read up or watch some stuff on making dashi and Asian bone broths or whatever for things like ramen. I really don't have any clue what the typical process is, but based on what Gavin was saying, it sounds like it's way different than western style stock making. Was just...

    I'm not at all familiar with Asian broths, don't think they ever call them stocks. That would make more sense than because aren't they typically a more delicate flavor where you're not getting that roasted element that you typically find with traditional Western Brown sauces and stocks? I just...

    Sounds to me like those people are fucked up. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. One of the greatest smells on Earth is roasting beef, bones included. I mean that's the whole foundation of roasting the bones to make a stock or broth or whatever the hell you want to call it. I say don't...

    Edit: sorry was gathering my thoughts and talking to text It's the technique. It's the same basic process, but I think bone broth cooks for much longer. That's why I said there are plenty of good videos out there that talk about the process it just varies between different folks and what...

    Sorry, was out fishing. There's some decent ones out there on YouTube. They all vary a little, but this one's good. Another classic Escoffier version: Can't go wrong with either.

    I've not done much canning, but I guess if you're willing to take the extra steps, it's a great idea, especially with hurting for space. Can always clear some shelf room, freezer, not so much.

    Wouldn't be hard, just a big weekend project. Takes a while to roast, and then cook the stock down. If I had the space, I'd make my own, but alas I need a bigger kitchen and bigger deep freeze. House we live in is pretty small. It's why I haven't tried to brew beer. Sucks having a galley...

    Yeah it's more of not wanting to clean the damn thing every time. For things like roasting veggies, the foil works fine. Tater tots and stuff, I'll do without the foil because cleanup is easy. Wife had made a few gallons of chili the other day to give to neighbors and freeze. Ended up...

    Used to watch all of them as a kid. Clash of the Titans is probably my favorite. I remember the Medusa scene really scaring the hell out of me. The Hercules ones had Lou Ferrigno didn't they? Remember one of those being pretty out there with some kind of giant laser shooting robot or...

    Probably will at some point. We've been using the little Cuisinart one we got from a neighbor, and it's been pretty great for certain things: toasting bread / sandwiches, small batch fries, reheating things, and roasting veggies / baked potatoes. I always put a piece of foil on the tray for...

    Yeah, depending on your oven, placement of the sheet pan, thickness of bacon, there's this little window of chewy - perfect - overly crispy. If you figure out what temp and time is best for you, then it's all good. We've got a gas oven, and I'll typically run it at 300, middle rack. Takes...

    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

    Haha, that's what it was called. When I watching the first half I was like man there was a stupid movie back in the 2000s about this. I want to say Dennis Quaid was maybe in it. Was it a Roland Emerich movie? Seems like it's up his alley. So if the ghosts are going to freeze everybody...

    But climate change should be taken seriously! In all seriousness I couldn't even finish the trailer. Although people out on the beach and the ice crystals popping up was just retarded. I didn't see the last one and I probably won't see this one. Will it only be white ghost causing climate...

    Is this about ghost causing climate change? Didn't Jake Gyllenhaal star in a movie about New York freezing, I think he did, don't remember the name, nor care. Climate change is real, and ghosts shouldn't cause it.

    Did you plan on saucing the ribs at the end? I'm sure the brisket rub would be fine, guess it just depends on what flavor profile you like. With pork I normally go sweeter with so I go brown sugar in my rub. Also like some ancho chili powder and cumin, and of course things like garlic, onion...

    That's a pretty fantastic short story. You could probably turn it into a phenomenal short film if done right. I would say there's been some pretty good horror movies out in the past decade that will probably stand the test of time. The Witch and Hereditary both come to mind. Trying to...

    I've always got fishing pliers and bigger forceps with me. I wouldn't be targeting monsters, but shit between maybe 20"-36" at the most. Don't think they grow to mammoth proportions in those smaller bodies of water, unless it's some freak occurrence of one swimming through a deep creek or...

    It's not horror, just an Agatha Christie mystery. All the Hercule Poirot stuff is her works. There's been other films made back in maybe the 70s and 80s of them. Hell think she's had a lot of films adapting her novels. Remember watching a made for TV version of Ten Little Indians way back...

    What's crazier is they're saying it was caught on 6lb line. Assuming braided with a steel leader. Guess that might be why it took so long, play the fish slow not to pop. Can't imagine catching something that big.
