    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Carbon steel pans are great for sauteing, but to sear steaks you want cast iron. You want the bulk to hold heat and transfer it to your meat quickly. Also, once you get the hang of cooking your steaks in cast iron, you don't really need the sous vide either. If you're getting a torch, get the...

    I didn't explain it very well. It's a fairly small U-shaped kitchen with the stove at the end so there are two L-shaped countertops on either side of the stove. The perpendicular parts are both less than 25" though, which is the width of the countertop so I can just cut two pieces 25" long and...

    Everyone I saw on YouTube doing miters was doing it with a $700 Festool track saw which I'm not going to buy. After I posted though, I realized that neither of my L sections are more than 25" wide so I can just cut two 25" long pieces and rip them to width and the planks will all run the same...

    I'm replacing the countertops in my house with butcher block. I decided to go with maple which I will stain dark brown in the bathrooms and American cherry in the kitchen which I'm just going to oil. I was very scared of cutting the sink holes because they were undermount so my cuts will be...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I'm addicted to these. They are very hot and it's not really ramen since it's a stir fry noodle and not a soup. Really good though. For a more standard ramen, I like these, which you can also get at Walmart.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Jesus, this discussion is shameful. Noodle, you're doing the right thing. If you buy your kids a playset and then you have to pay another man to assemble it your kids will never respect you. Even as adults, they might not remember why, but deep down they will just know that their father is not...

    Home buying thread

    There are definitely a lot of upkeep bills with a house that you have to take into consideration. That will be offset somewhat though by the tax breaks you will be getting for all the tax deductible interest you will be paying, especially at first. I'm not expert, but if you are in a...

    I haven't done clinical trials or anything, but I used to like jello cubes so I considered it a good thing. I think that was the idea was that it was a type of food that was easy on your stomach.

    Survivor

    Nick's season was the only one I've missed in like 10 years but it's hard for me to imagine him winning. He seemed like a chump to me this season. It's hard to imagine someone with such a lack of self awareness winning Survivor.

    I think Sprite killed 7-Up. My Mom never allowed us to drink soda growing up but she always had a 12-pack of 7-Up on hand in case anyone had an upset stomach because she thought it helped with that. It was the only upside to being sick.

    So the funeral is today. The kid was a pretty good bronc rider so all the rodeo people are showing up. It's being held at the rodeo arena which I thought would be helpful for social distancing but then I heard this morning that they think 500 people might show up AND they're serving food...

    What all did you get for $10k? I have a sediment filter, softener, iron filter, and RO system and it cost around $5K. My water measures about 45 grains per gallon. If you drip some water on the floor it will leave a white spot when it dries. The culligan guy said he had seen it as high as 75...

    Worst case with dry roast you can always dump some BBQ sauce on it and make sandwiches. The beef salad sounds like a good idea too.

    All I'm saying is that it's a real easy way to get around all the proprietary shit with apple and Google. You sort of answered my question though. "I don't use Facebook" is the new "I don't have a TV" for the too cool for school types so they actually prefer to be using something that strokes...

    Homeland

    It's a character driven show. It's as much a family drama as a spy thriller so it may not be for everyone. I thought it was a great show with really deep characters and really complex moral issues. On top of that they did a really great job of portraying life in America in the 80's. I really...

    I was very skeptical that they were going to be able to wrap this up when I started the episode and halfway through I thought it was going to suck, but they actually did a pretty decent job. The Americans was a much better show than this IMO but this one wasn't bad.

    Sounds like a good place for an African cichlid tank. They like hard water and you can't really have plants with them anyway. A bunch of mbuna and a shitload of tastefully arranged rocks is the lowest maintenance tank you can get.

    That sucks. Seemed like the common wisdom was that since the 9ers didn't pick an OL in the first round that meant he was planning to stay. I guess they had another plan. I'm glad they were able to get a replacement but Staley is a stud and I hate to see him go. This is my favorite Staley...
