    He's right, and something I failed to mention. Think I was talking about pan sauces when it came to butter.

    Yeah when you had garlic just have a bulb with it maybe smash it with a flat edge of a knife but don't mince it up. You keep it essentially whole.

    If you got a head of garlic a bulb or two and if you've got any fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary or something that's all I'm talking about. Just get a good neutral oil in the pan, put your steaks in when the oil is heated , and flip a few times when you start building a crust. Toss in those...

    Yeah just pan sear and a ripping hot pan. Or throw them on a gas grill. There's a great looking steaks though. I wish I could find bone-in ribeyes that didn't have any of the meat from the rib trimmed off from the bone. They really remind me of some pork steaks you can get occasionally...

    Don't sear and pop in the oven. By the time you get a good crust on a thinner steak you'll go to pop it in and you'll have over cooked it. Just pan sear and flip repeatedly. Even without mushrooms you can still use the pan drippings and fond to make a sauce with onions and whatever else you...

    That'll work. If you've got a nice big thick ass ribeye a quick sear in cast iron with some aromatics and then toss it in the oven and probe for temp, you should get a decent steak. For something like that the thicker the better. Guess that's why I asked whether or not you were doing a...

    I played quite a bit yesterday evening and finished Starseed, and was working on the MSQ. Got a quest to go back to the Eye which was weird but whatever, until I'm told to take gay cowboy with me on a mission. Is this a point of no return? Is this what you mentioned @Void ? I know they're...

    I know I do talk to text a lot and it's sometimes pretty horrible but man. What exactly are you trying to do? Can you link the recipe? If you have some really nice steaks I probably wouldn't use the oven to roast them unless it's an actual rib roast. You can pan sear, and then finish them...

    Use the Oscar Meyer for making baked beans or smothered cabbage or something similar. Just any recipe requiring some bacon / pork fat. Hell, you could do coq au vin with it and I'm sure it'll be fine for that, just not on its own. It's not horrible, but cheap quality compared to the price...

    That's why I use foil. I'll also drain, then immediately use that greased up foil to cook potatoes or something. Like you said, it's just easier clean up. Microwave is for reheating bacon. Not that you can't cook in it, but it's perfect for heating up for a BLT or quick breakfast if you have...

    @Rajaah Cook bacon on a cookie sheet lined with foil at 300-350. Just check it in 20 minutes or so and may need to flip. Just depends on whether it's gas or electric and how hot your oven gets. When done cooking, drain the rendered oil and use it for something else, like pan fried sliced...

    You either like five spice or you don't. I use it pretty often and I think it's Adams spice blends has a Chipotle five spice that's really really good. It's pretty zesty but it gives you that allspice coriander type taste. It's definitely a sweeter type of spice blend but it works on poultry...

    Stuff the cavity with some herbs, onion, garlic, lemon. Maybe dry brine overnight. I've never made a goose, but I keep duck in the fridge drying for a few days, should be similar. Just roast at a good temp until that skin is crispy and the fat renders. Might want to prick the skin all over...

    I don't know what the hell happened, and I need to at least go back and try to find it again. I guess was when the activity is there on your list it would be in another location and you fly to a different system and find them doing whatever shenanigans they were up to, maybe trying to set up...

    Yep, real men played AVP1 where if you died you had to start the whole goddamn level over. Was a bitch of a game but it was so awesome. AVP2 had some of the best multiplayer ever, but the single player wasn't near as intense as the first one.

    Yeah, I figured you were doing the butchering yourself. Really might want to get a vacuum packer. Amazon has some decent ones cheap. If you try to use foil or plastic wrap, you'll end up with freezer burn more thank likely. You can get one for like 40-50 bucks and 10 or so for the bag roll...
