    Haha, never looked at the ingredients before. That stuff truly is in everything. Do you keep a bottle around? I've seen a lot of recipes that always call for it, and I don't think it's supposed to be as bad for you as it was once touted.

    I think it's just to cover your celery aromatic. I haven't made it in a long time, but sometimes I'll add crawfish or oysters and use the Trinity with a bit of the pope. Not traditional but it's makes for a nice seafood chowder. Guess you could use mussels too, sans shell. Hell, even use a...

    I don't think there's anything wrong with using it as an ingredient along with other stuff. Hell, look at traditional green beans casserole. It's not fancy, but it tastes good. Sure you can make it fancy and not use cream of whatever, but doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. Think a lot of...

    Looks pretty normal to me. Doesn't have a rue, but I guess the cream of celery and potatoes will thicken it fine. Looks like it's supposed to be just quick and easy, but it's not like clam chowder is hard to make anyway.

    Red Right Hand (2024)

    Was going to say, I think I'd rather just re-listen to red right hand, or all of the murder ballads album, but you kind of beat me to the punch.

    That's what it was called. I couldn't remember what it was because I watched it when I was laid up after my accident and doped out of my mind with nothing to do but a watch TV or movies on an iPad. It was a pretty decent show though, I want to say it took place in Iceland or something. Second...

    Maybe, I don't really know, just always used it for some reason probably because I just had it on hand, and it always turned out good. They're definitely is a benefit of using a really good evoo for things like dressings where when it's the focus you can definitely tell the difference between...

    You can do lower temp frying with it. I shallow fry with it at times, but I never push it above 350-360. Use it for things like schnitzel, pork chops, etc.

    The research team at the facility will have found or discovered an ancient virus from one of their core samples from another period of life. Upon being exposed to it, it spreads fast and drives them crazy, and makes them follow some sort of herd mentality, to where they kill themselves like...

    So I'm watching this before I cook dinner, and the part where they do the Oscar montage for the pornstar from danzig's previous film. That's honestly one of the most hilarious things they've done so far. It's funny because it's probably true.

    Went to go look it up because it was bugging me: I guess it could make you shit yourself, too.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah, that wasn't too bad of a found footage horror movie. I listened to a book called Dead Mountain a number of years ago about the incident, and the author's theory was a certain type of sound wave made by the wind and the shape of the mountain drove the hikers crazy. Forget what the...

    I'm pretty sure they actually screwed with the experience curve, but like others have said they run events where it might be double XP. I think you can also switch a setting to give you more experience but you get less rewards or something. Sorry it's been a while since I've logged in.

    Yep. I'm not very good at baking. I mean I can follow the instructions and stuff and it'll typically turn out well, but I don't have the ability to create my own version of a cake or something, I just don't know the ratios between flower, sugar, fats, and stuff. Cooking times and temps are a...

    Looks pretty tasty. You're right, baking is a bitch. Everything has to be so exact and one wrong step can spell disaster. It's still worth the hassle though.

    It was pretty dark in the theater when we saw it, but the funniest theater experience was when a group of us watched the Samuel L Jackson Shaft remake.

    Yeah, a lot of their recipes are rock solid. I know if we make homemade biscuits we use their layering method for the dough with a ton of butter and oh my God they're pretty fantastic. Little bit more work but that's why I make the wife make them at times on the weekend. She probably knows...

    The croissants really add a another level of richness to the dish. My mom used to make one that had masticated cherries and I think almonds and amaretto, but also had this vanilla cream sauce where you used the whole vanilla bean. The tartness of the cherries really plays well with the creamy...

    Is it worth picking up right now, or wait for some patches and a sale? I had planned on getting it during Christmas because I figured at least they'd knock off 5 or 10 bucks during the steam sale but that didn't happen.

    Probably some type of bread pudding. It's so versatile, and as long as you know how to make a custard you can use whatever bread you got on hand, and any other sweet ingredients. A lot of the times during Christmas I'll do a bananas Foster bread pudding and I'll use croissants. I've done it...

    Gotta wash your rice like a jogger washes they's chicken, no-wha-i-meen! Keeping it real. I do know washing your rice is good, but you don't need a fucking specific bowl for it. Just use a goddamn fine mesh colander.
