I decided to go with soup instead of gravy'n'biscuits. I accidentally added some whole cloves instead of whole black peppercorns. I noticed my mistake almost immediately (a pretty recognizable smell) so only a few made it into the pot. I left the…
OK, so we agree in part, which means if your specialty is Chemistry then I cannot argue further, since you agree Pyrolosys and Maillirrd are related because neither will happen in the presence of water since liquid water has such a cool boiling poin…
Someone (yeah, you know who you are) has been playing Waylon Jennings for the past 5 hours. Gorsh, I love working at the bar where they have good wifi (read: they keep beer here!). Eh-yup, I am one happy camper.
Protip: You can slow the Maillard reaction with the addition of an acid, such a delicious vinegar. Maybe useful if you insist on browning meatballs in a skillet as opposed to an oven?
We can Papaxi (sometimes) to drop their max (it helps), but we need to rely on LEECH to make WRACK work. Or we can Papaxi and pay attention and hope to sneak in a WRACK. CRUCIFY is a lot more reliable.
The Ministry of Fun has a bunch of cultural stuff, and somehow the Arena plopped in. I can understand the original reasoning (duels and battlechess and wargames, etc), but it just doesn't align with the res…
Meh. I wear a tail now, but when I was enlisted I received a haircut on the 1st and 15th of every month. Mind you I do understand that the military is a distinct and separate society altogether, whereas Disney is just another company within regula…

Yes, specialized steamers and cookers are handy. I also already own an oven. I can spend $45 on a special-purpose device which only does one thing, or I can spend $0 for something I already own which does a million things. I'm sticking with the o…
Just got a call from school. I have a sick child, which means I cannot work tomorrow. I know this may sound weird, but I actually LIKE my job, and a crapload of work just fell into my lap. Since he's sick, dinner will probably be hell tonight too…

It also doesn't burn even if you accidentally leave it in for 15 mins too long (try that on the stove-top, especially if you're using propane instead of ``natural gas'').
Things are predictable: rather than guessing sometime be…
