Not nearly as dark as I was gonna go.

I assume that chonker was tasty,

[QUESTION] What is your favorite cut of steak and what's your go-to cooking method?

I tend to go for a NY strip 9/10 times when I’m buying steaks, unless there’s some good deal on something else. Or I’ll go to Costco and get a big roast and cut steaks out of it. I’m not super picky these days because I always sous vide and torch my steaks and they come out so nice no matter what the cut. Salt and pepper...

yes, on the tenting. another option is to put it in a cold oven. if the oven has a bread proof setting, that can help to slow the cooling down a bit too, without actually cooking it. (proofing is usually done at 70-80f, just a bit warmer than room temp. Warming is usually quite a bit more and will continue cooking more…)

Well you see he’s working hard to keep the kids calm, right?

A lot of instructions/recipes will tell you to bring the oil to smoking, though. The other issue is that some oils smoke lower than others

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Sure.

So, on a gas stove…. How do you determine pan temp?

(I don’t. I’ve an induction stove. That automatically keeps it at xxx temp. Yes. It’s wonderful.)

Mario kart. They’re playing Mario kart.

I dunno, boobies seem to not like being looked at,

I wonder how many people went to go see if there was a so-named monkey.

All I’m gonna say, is that’s what private tabs, and a coworker’s unlocked computer is for…(sadly this will have to wait until Monday.)

Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.

Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”

Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.

[Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?

My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....

the dark meat is great for chicken and dumplings. I’ll usually break it down because it’s about $5/pound here. (verse like $10 for 2 breasts…) so if you’re not needing the full bird for something, you can always re-freeze whatever you’re holding. And the chicken and dumplings are great for family meals. you can make most of it ahead of time, reheat and drop the dumplings when the family is ready to go.

It is a lot. but, the prep is spread out over several days, so there’s that. makes things manageable.

FuglyDuck,

Definitely. Also, organization, so you have everything where it needs to be.

The other secret is to only invite people you like. Makes it easier to go through all the work.

Unless it’s a fun argument.

Like which is a better tv show, Babylon 5 or firefly.

Cooing, is the term for the noise pigeons make.

FuglyDuck, (edited )
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

The coo doesn’t bounce. It sticks.

The pun is “acoustics”- which is a branch of physics that deal with sound (and also the term for acoustic qualities of a particular enviroment; which is something that is very carefully controlled on a stage)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, since when did animal noises get accurately described?

Like yeah.

domestic violence over an Uno card game. (she killed him for dropping 2x +4 wilds.)

I don’t really get it either.

FuglyDuck, (edited )
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

so, briefly, Uno… you divvy out a stack of cards. each card has a number value and a color (or are wild here.), or do something (reverse play order, and stuf.) The card being played means the next person has to pick up 4 cards. the goal is to drop all your cards.

the “joke” is, she killed him for that. I don’t particularly find jokes about domestic violence funny.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

… and killing someone.

[question] for the chemistry types- making chicken soup. Why did lemon juice turn the light brown chicken stock almost white?

Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock’s color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it...

vacuums and coffee machines.

Yeah. those are the, uh, devices, I’m most concerned people knowing I use…
