What to do with thin sliced pork chops.

Despite my atrempts to talk to her about it, my wife keeps buying those cheap thin cut boneless pork loin chops from the grocery store. They're just sooo prone to drying out, even when I brine/dry brine them. The only thing they seem to be good for is katsu, but that's a lot of work and obviously quite high calorie.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Okay people, I'm explicitly trying to avoid breading and frying them. Also, I've tried pan seared before. By the time they get any real color on even one side they're already dry. Finally, these are loin, so minimal fat and no connective tissue makes braising extremely difficult.

[OC] Castle model WIP

I thought I'd share my WIP of a castle model I've been working on. All work so far has been done in SolidWorks, and I think I'm almost ready to import into Blender to add textures. I've really tried my best to balance historical accuracy, gameplay considerations, and printability.

Can a unit disengage from an engaged and pinned transport?

Interesting rules question that came up in a "oh god how do we play this again?" game yesterday. A unit of rhinos with marines still inside was charged by another vehicle, so the rhinos were engaged and pinned. Obviously the rhinos can't move, but can they still activate and have the marines inside hop out (assuming there's space for them to do so).

Sous Vide brisket attempt 2, less smoky but super juicy.

After my last attempt at sous vide brisket turned out quite dry, I made another attempt with some changes. For this attempt, I followed u/iamthinksnow's comment and did the bath at 135F for 24 hours followed by 155F for 8 hours instead of a full 155F/36h.

The other thing I think was at fault last time was the 3 hour grill smoke with my poor temp control. So this time I finished for 2 hours in a 275F oven.

This was definitely an overall improvement over the first attempt. While the smoke flavor on the first one was better and this had basically no bark, this attempt more than made up for it by being super moist and juicy. While still not perfect, this is definitely a proof of concept that a good brisket is doable without a smoker.

Tried Kenji's sous vide brisket recipe. 36 hours at 155, then finished on a gas grill with hickory chips for 3 hours. Results were...pretty good.

Kenji's recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/sous-vide-barbecue-smoked-bbq-brisket-texas-recipe

​

5 lb untrimmed flat cut brisket, 36 hours in the bath at 155 with a few drops of liquid smoke in the bag. Finished for 3 hours indirect in a gas grill with hickory chips to build up the bark.

​

Results were decent, but not exceptional. It was pretty tender, except for some parts on the bottom that got dry and tough, but not as moist as I would prefer. I definitely think it would have been better had I managed to find a point cut.

​

Once I sauced and sandwiched it was pretty good. I've had mych better, but I've definitely also paid for worse.

Is there any practical reason to put a Sorcerer Lord on a Manticore?

I'm building my Chaos Lord on Manticore kit, and I see it also comes with a Sorcerer. I'm trying to determine if it's worth magnetizing the two, or if I shuld just glue down the lord.

My wife's computer seemingly interferes with mine's ability to connect to the wifi.

Most evenings, my computer can see the wifi network but gets an unable to connect error, yet my wife's computer, the TV, and both our phones connect just fine. The thing is, if I connect my phone to the wifi and use it to share the wifi signal, i can connect to the shared signal through my phone just fine.

I only just made the connection that my wife's computer might be somehow interfering because she was gone for two weeks, during which I had zero issues. Tonight I turned my computer on for the first time since she got home, and the problem immediately occured again. To test this, my wife just shut down her computer, and after a reboot mine connected.

For reference I'm using a USB wifi adapter while hers has an inbuilt adapter. And no, connecting via an ethernet cable is not an option.

I wish that all loans were structured such that interest only ever accumulated based on the principal and all payments were applied to the principal first.

What are people's thoughts on the Pro Acryl 1-step line?

How do they compare to contrast and speedpaints? Have you tried using the 1-step medium they claim can turn any of their paints into 1-step?
