FEEDBACK WANTED: Interest in doing weekly themed discussion posts.
  • 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)

  • 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

    I came across this technique for helping pepper seeds germinate. 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?

    Hear me out guys: funyun meatloaf?
  • 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.

  • Have you ever met someone who is not good at academics but is good at other aspects? What makes them that way?
  • 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.

  • What are the best/highest quality Video Games ever made?
  • 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

  • Reddit takes control of popular subreddit that protested API changes | Engadget
  • 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.

  • Fermenting peppers
  • 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

  • How to make your hotsauce more saucy
  • 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.

  • I'm into cooking, fermenting and hot chili peppers. I like experimenting to see how it comes out. I currently have lemons and yellow fatallii peppers fermenting and want to try a type of marmalade with them seasoned with saffron. I'm also working on a fermented cherry based barbecue sauce.

  • That's awesome! When I was 21, I weighed 245 lbs. at 5'9", that's allot. I decided one day to quit smoking, intermittent fasting (eating at 24 intervals) and running. I got up to 100 miles/ week, lost 95 lbs. I'm 66 now and weigh 150 lbs.

    I'm with you 💯! Go fly and never look back and run forever.

  • New Jersey style sloppy joe
  • This popped up in my discover feed and had to give it a try. Whew, truly amazing.

    Start with 3 slices of thin sliced rye bread, butter them but butter both sides of the middle slice. Normally beef tongue is used but I used pastrami instead. Layer beef tongue, ham, turkey breast then Swiss cheese. Take thinly sliced cabbage tossed with a little Russian dressing, top with more Russian dressing then middle slice of bread. Do all those steps all over again.

    Here's a link for Russian dressing. I wanted it to be smooth without bits of onion so I grated the onion. Trust me when I say this is the sh*t and you'll want this on everything so double it. Russian dressing
