    I like this idea. Although I think there are times throughout the week when someone might want to post a question on a Thursday but can't because it's not the correct day of the week. And make them megathreads so they can be referenced throughout the week.

    I think themed days for techniques, methods and practices of cooking would be fun. How about something like Ferment Friday or meal prep Sunday (I know it's stealing from Reddit but eff Reddit, Spez or whatever the case may be)

    It's been going on since the founding fathers signed the eclaration eclaration of independence. They were all landowners and some even had slaves. The Constitution was written not for equality or the redistribution of wealth but for the rich, landowners to keep it and keep everyone else away from it.

    It's become more obvious now as wealth has grown so incremently with the top 3% having more than some countries and are now at the point of untouchable, able to control so much of what's happening should be no surprise.

    Europe did it when first colonialized the New World, claiming Manifest Destiny taking land, wiping out civilizations of people all under the name of god.

    It's generational with the belief to not trust the government. They're trying to take it from you.

    While one side tells you they're trying to take it from you, the other side is telling you, they're trying to take it from you.

    The problem is, they are.

  • Fried pork loin on corn bread with pickled onion, chili adobo aioli, and cheddar mornay sauce

    I found the trick to cornbread is to use lard or rendered bacon fat, and raise the temperature the stated recipe by 10⁰ and cut back on the time. It requires watching a little bit more but when the top is starting to brown and the sides are brown, take it out. Raising the temp, makes the outside crunchy and inside for moist and almost custard like

    Call me crazy and I know there's so many different kinds of bread one could make not including additions but plain white bread straight from the oven is amazing! Good job!

I don't know about anyone else but I have a hard time getting them to germinate and, or they can take a long time and for me living in zone 6, by the time they're in the ground it's borderline late. What do you think?

    Marines’ top general ‘ruthlessly’ rides out Tuberville’s military hold

    I wish I could say that good judgement will eventually win out. The only way that to happen is if Tuberville is out of the picture. For him it's not about his beliefs. He doesn't have any. It's all about the attention he's getting and the power he's wielding.

    He's a very small human. Don't forget he was a football coach and just about every football coach has the old Vince Lombardi mantra drilled in their heads, "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing". It's all about winning. Decency doesn't matter.

    That reminds me of another time I was making chilli and came up with a great idea of getting frisky with my wife. Needless to say, it killed the mood.

    I think using funyons is a good idea for certain things. I don't think so in meatloaf as TheAlbatross pointed out. I think as a coating for chicken would be tasty with crushed Cheezits or something.

  • I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.

    I have a book written by Kirsten K. and Christopher Shockey called "Fiery Ferments" and one recipe I use quite a bit, green peppercorn mustard. It's on the hot side, it'll definitely clear your sinuses. Green peppercorn mustard

    I have family deep in Appalachia where education isn't much of a priority there, most drop out to help farming, coal mining and helping the family whatever way they can.

    One man I knew who dropped out at an early age was probably the best mechanic I've ever seen. He could fix just about anything, cars, appliances, you name it.

    One instance I recall was that there was a boy with either downs or on the autism spectrum. Back then there was no distinction but I digress. This boy had an old, beat up and very cheap 8 track player that he absolutely loved and couldn't ever part with it. The mechanic was able to keep it working for years and years.

    I have to go way back and vote for the Shenmu trilogy. Open world and RPG.

    I agree that Half Life for action adventure.

    Definitely Portal 2 and the Talos Principal for puzzle.

    Rocket League is awesome and so are the Skate games.

    Crazy Taxi and Paradise City belong somewhere too

    I can see quality of posts getting worse and worse. Bots reposting, comments filled with low effort puns and one liners. I hardly ever got on Twitter and even less now but before I would see interesting tweets and comments but not anymore. I believe Reddit will be just the same.

    It depends on want to pursue. Currently I'm thinking about fermenting yellow fatalliis and lemons and creating some sort of marmalade with saffron.

    Another idea I have is bacon jam with habaneros (habaneroes?) and fermented cherries.

    A little tip; I know it might go against the grain of everything you've heard about fermented foods and probiotics but when you're ready to bottle it, heat it to a very slow simmer for only a couple minutes. Your hot sauce will have a more nuanced, well balanced flavor. Another benefit is that you are essentially pasteurizing your sauce making it shelf stable. There are plenty of other ways to get those probiotics and considering how much hot sauce you're putting on food it's only a small amount

    You can try using a sieve or food strainer. Put your mash on the strainer and push it through with a wooden spoon. I recently purchased a food mill and love it. It really does the trick. I use it for tomatoes when I'm making tomato sauce too.

    Very interesting article. I think it's true they that streaming music services tend to make passive listening to easy. I remember the days of getting a new album, playing it while I read the liner notes, checked out the cover art and listening intently to the lyrics. Now it's too easy to play something, anything while I cook dinner, get ready for work...

    I do like SiriusXM. I appreciate the curated approach. DJs that spin the music, adding their own take on a particular track and comments. It tends to break up the passive listening and listen more closely.
