So. I tend to not use store bought sauces, can’t give advice on that.

But, if you haven’t considered it, you can reduce your overall work load by making sauces in bulk, and then freezing them. I got myself some giant icecube-molds to freeze into 1/2 cup blocks, and then transfer them to sealed vacuum bags.

Simply thaw and reheat for use. This also works quite well for stocks, or anything that takes hours of simmering.

the only reason this bothers me is… ew… flatpak.

muts are the best-est. We had a half-goldie-half-stray that was absolutely the best dog ever.

Though, to be honest, I imagine ‘best dog ever’ really comes down to proximity. The closer the dog is to you- figuratively and literally- the better the dog. details.

Actually? That’s why contraceptives are bad,

Like seriously. Because a guy one time pulled out because he was an asshole and wanted the inheritance that would otherwise go to his “nephew”… which would have (and did) cause his brother’s widow go into destitution, so god smote him.

Also… side note… that’s the kind of world they view as ideal.

“today, the sentient mold asked for more water, and some more bread to grow on” is not something you leave lying around for the sentient mold to read!

(It’s all fun and games until they start engaging in biowarfare…)

[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…)

NY strip, dry brined (kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, and some baking soda, left at room temperature until the salt has been fully absorbed into the steak.)

as for cooking, it depends on weather and mood- nice enough to grill outside? wood fired grill, with a coating of marinade applied just before it goes on (not more than a few minutes.)- Olive oil, apple vinegar, garlic, more pepper. maybe some lime or lemon juice. seared to a medium-rare. the oil helps the sear lock in juices, the hint of vinegar adds an acidic kick.

Shit weather? it’s pan fried in cast iron, generous amounts of butter (and enough neutral oil to keep it from burning about 1/3 oil 2/3’s butter), with a crushed clove of garlic and a sprig of time in the pan. again, seared to that perfect medium rare. (though… if you have one of those in the family, this method also allows you to slow it down to produce a passable well done. Just saying.)

of course the second most important part: let it REST. (10-15 minutes, covered in tinfoil.)

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)

[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....

While I am smoking a medium bird, I’m also doing smoke hams (one for my diner one for the rest of my parents cuz we’re with the in-laws this year,)

It’s not nearly as much additional work being smoked, mind.

Also adding a mushroom stew for the veg head.

The ham will probably disappear and most the chicken goes into turkey sandwiches tomorrow/leftovers to take home.

I did think about doing a capon (castrated rooster,) which is somewhere between chicken and turkey in gaminess

(Edit to add, we’re planning on 10 adults plus their minions,)

I suppose this depends entirely on your expectations?

Gotta watch out for those soggy bottoms,

So… it’s more a stew than a soup?

….in a pod?

somebody needs to change the lede to

Analytical and Bio-analytical Chemistry- your society journal for rapid production and global viscosity on analytical research

just to raise even more eyebrows.

Pretty sure bullfrogs will eat whatever it can get in it’s mouth.

Also, I’m pretty sure I have no idea what the difference between a toad and a frog.

Okay. But have you watched…

Sorry. I can’t think of tv shows I like that’s universally loved.

Actually, I can’t think of anything that’s universally loved.

It’s more of a non verbal thing.

When they want scritches, they’ll let you know

And when they’re done…. They’ll let you know that, too….

With no Xmas memes after Halloween, too

Pop culture didn’t appropriate it. Alan Turing and John McCarthy and the others at the Dartmouth Comference were inspired in part by works like Wisard of Oz and Metropolis and R.U.R.

While the term was coined in a paper for that seminal conference by McCarthy…. The concept of thinking machines had already been firmly established.

Repay student loans? Naw. They’re just gonna alter the terms of the deal…. And if the school has a problem with that…

Well it’s a nice shiny new imperial academy we got here.
