Some say that giant Koreans don’t exist.

Very good thinking!

The taste is the main thing! What temp did you bake it at?

Doesn’t look like it’s available in Boost. 😕

I jave actually been wanting to try this. I imagine it would be good on fries or a burger.

Smart!

A regional thing, maybe? I’ll have to look up regional dishes from Busan.

I use the S&B curry powder and it works really well. I actually prefer a mix of the S&B powder with some garam masala (maybe 2:1) but it’s also great on its own.

I season right when it goes into the pot (salt and pepper), and then I do two “dumps” of the other seasonings - one towards the beginning prior to adding liquids, and another towards the end of cooking.

Marzipan and a bit of food dye will let you make all sorts of stuff. Forming marzipan is more or less like using Play-Do.

I can see that - some foods looking way more appealing than they actually are.

[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....

Always wanted to try bear! I heard it was fatty/greasy, but it probably wasn’t prepared properly.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

They’d probably be very good in savory applications. My first thought would be to use them like chapati and scoop up curry with them. Or you could use them like mini wraps.

I need to check this one out again. A friend of mine highly recommended it.

TheGiantKorean,

I’m check it out!

[Discussion] What is your Thanksgiving strategy?

Every Thanksgiving since I was a child, I’ve had to make something for Thanksgiving. Typically, and I think this goes for many Americans (and presumably Canadians cause they have a similar Thanksgiving), this involves sharing the kitchen with way too many cooks. It can be difficult to know what tools you’ll have in an...

I cook at my own place, but it makes 100% sense to bring your gear with you. This is especially important if maybe they just don’t have something. Can’t really think of anything you’re missing! Eggs, maybe?

Generally speaking, do whatever you can the day before (or several dayd before, even). Most sides will reheat well. Pies and such can be made in advance. If you do something like sous vide turchetta, you only need to brown it/heat it before serving since it’s already cooked.

I made a tool to make it trivial to time your turkey thawing. (turkeythaw.com)

I whipped this up today because I am always having to look it up and figure out when I am supposed to put my turkey from the Freezer to the Fridge. I plan to pretty it up over the next few days but hopefully this will be helpful to others (me too since I am cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year). I am open to...

Ah, gotcha. That would be one scary turkey.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Wow. This sounds like some work, but it sounds delicious!

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

OK, thanks! And thank you for the brand rec.

These all look great! I love pumpkin bread. My wife makes it with chocolate chips in it.

You’re probably thinking of phytic acid. While it is present in raw oats, cooking it breaks it down. Most oats you buy from the store have been steamed, so it’s even already cooked before you do anything with it. Cooking breaks down a lot of these types of compounds.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll have to look around for that!

Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

If I have to Google something, and the answer is on Reddit, then yes.

I loved being able to sleep in, do what I felt like doing during the day, and then going to work. I also enjoyed being alone at night.

It was hard on my body, though. I don’t think my brain ever fully adjusted, because on the weekends it was like my body tried to switch me back to a normal schedule (because I was hanging out with family and friends), and I had to re-adjust on Monday. It also doesn’t really work with dating. And I wanted to kill the landscaping people who would trim the hedges at my apartment complex at 10am.

Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?

What are Lemmy’s feelings about the best cloud storage options these days, if you really want to break into the 1-2TB range? I’m not there yet, probably not even halfway there, but I like the peace of mind of potentially having the space if I need it. And I think subscribing to something in the Netflix price range is maybe...

@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Nice, thanks. I’m using pCloud currently, which works pretty well, but I don’t think they’re as private as I would like.
