If you need to grate softer cheeses (mozzarella/colby jack/etc.), popping them into the freezer for 15-30 minutes will firm them up so they shred more cleanly.

Partner and I both got our flu/covid vaccines yesterday and kindergartner is home from school today and tomorrow with hay fever or whatever kindergarten crud is going around this time. Kiddo was also awake for about three hours last night around 0230 and struggled hard to get back to sleep. It’s been a long 36 hours

I’ve been using a paid account on Pandora for well over a decade. I hadn’t realized that LiveNation bought them. That’s disappointing on a fundamental level. Would definitely explain a bit. With such a deep collection and a family subscription now, It’d be a tough migration away, but it might be time. Ugh.

I’ve repeatedly run into the same issue of my stations all starting to sound similar as well. I’m sure it’s from the seeds all being similar too.

Looks kind of like a lid for a fermentation crock?

Necessary? No. Nice to have? Absolutely.

Mine was a pizza delivering machine. The auto seatbelt was just chefs kiss. That was a fun car

Unfortunately , I don’t know. It was 20+ years ago and I never got the chance ask specifics. I just remember my friend mentioning it and then hearing it drive off after a quick visit.

The MR2’s were woefully undersold. At least in my neck of the woods. Always heard they were a ton of fun. A friend of a friend put a JDM engine in his first gen and it sang very nicely.

‘Tis the season. Roasting green chile is (nearly) in the air. Makes me want to swing by El Modelo to stock up the freezer.

Yeah, looks closer to red chile to me, but the lines blur a lot around these parts

Holds it together while it cooks, so probably both in this instance

You gotta do 4 minutes and change with three of these bags. That spoon needs to stand up straight in the cup after stirring

Looks like the gas-in stub that comes off the other end of the gas tap inside the keg. I was using Cornelius style kegs though, and one end of the tubes was always flared for the o-ring to seat in.

Additionally, can find some great recipes at Serious Eats

Yeah, please don’t tarnish Joy Division by associating them with Vance.

I feel like I’m having a stroke while looking at this

Rick Baylis’s books are a solid start. I think he has a website as well.

Masienda (masa and associated products) should have some recipes too.

Glizzy guzzles you?

No way this doesn’t end poorly. I’m envisioning the SOL laser from Akira.
