Because stupid people are under this impression that as long as it looks cute it won't kill you. Moose are cute. Moose are 2000 pound territorial murderous bullies. Raccoons are cute. They'll also take the eyes out of your fucking skull if you try to pet them. It's natural selection. Some people are just plain dumber than animals and fall prey to them.
Just ordered an immersion blender to try nett's garlic onion soup. Gonna use a mix of yellow onion and shallots though, and some flour for thickness. Might toss some bacon crumbles in there as well. Because, bacon!
With heavy cream and reduction you won’t need any flour. If anything, it will detract from the flavour. Just sayin.
True. I bet it would go killer over some chicken fried steak if you made a roux and mixed it in with that.
I'm playfully goading my girlfriend into fucking one of her hot, fake-titted clients that shows up to her massage appointments high. "Throw on the Weeknd, take your panties off, stuff them in her mouth and get slippery." Who says romance is dead?
So I need some schooling on smokers. I want to start into the smoking game and dont mind paying between 400-700 bucks. I think for starters I'd use it a lot for cold smoking cheese, sausage, and chicken mainly. Im not into huge brisket or wracks of ribs, yet. I think those pellet fed ones might work for me. Suggestions?
Those pellet ones are nice and versatile. You can smoke with them or grill food on it as well. Big green egg is more expensive and out of that price range however, you can get a kamado joe which is comparable but less expensive. You can also get a decent offset smoker in that range. Make sure it has nice thick walls, about 1/4”. This helps to retain the temp levels. I made a smoker last year out of a 55 gallon drum and it worked nicely. There are millions of sets of instructions online to show you how to make it. Or you can buy one already made.
Whaat about those cabinet shaped electric pellet set ups? Seems like they'd fit into the type of stuff I like to smoke already, chicken, sausage etc, but they able to handle the big stuff, brisket or ribs, decently?
I think I just mastered the cold smoke with a jury rigged setup. I rigged up my old cast iron grill to do it. I freeze juice jugs full of water in the deep freezer to make big ice cubes and line to bottom with the jugs. I line the rack above the ice with cheese and put an old soup can with holes drilled all around it, filled with wood chips of your desired flavor, and then poke a (never used to solder) soldering pen in the can. I open a vent on the far side if the day is a little warmer but generally try to do it during a cooler part of the day in the shade. my first batch ever kinda melted because I did not vent but my second batch was perfect. I have salmon resting after a brine right now so I can cold smoke them on Saturday. I know, not a product endorsement but my low budget method turned out great. I ran around the halls at work today and gave out samples of the smoked gouda to see if people liked it and they LOVED it. It was a test run as I plan to hand out little gift bags with cheese, crackers, and salmon at Christmas.
I should not have watched that. I am the only one at the office and it's almost black outside due to pouring down rain and THUNDER. Good thing I have the dog with me because holy shit that freaked me out. That pretty much sums up my reaction.
I love how ghosts are so fond of doing the most pointless shit. "Oh man, my socks aren't where I put them. IT'S A FUCKING GHOST." Whenever these stories crops it seems like the alleged ghosts are doing the most mundane of things. Come on, you're a ghost, can't you do something cooler than move people's shit around?
TiB, I need your help making a very important decision. My wife won't stop putting the toilet paper on backward despite my years of protests. I've decided the only way to truly break her of this insane habit is by pulling a little revenge prank. That way she'll have a fun memory to remind her of proper toilet paper installation protocol. TiB: should I put Icy Hot in her lotion, or on her deodorant?
