Some stuff happens partway through the first season and I'm still kind of reeling from it. IYKYK, I guess. Anyone else have this experience? I saw some IMDB reviews that stressed how hard parts of this show were.
Here's one ad.
So if you want a light tomato sauce, you put the whole tomato (after cutting out the stem base) in the pan. So several tomatoes. Lid on. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes until they soften. Then you use a fork and just fish the skins out. Easy peasy way to deal with skins. Don't cut the tomatoes in half.
I hate to join in this topic, but I take my dog out for a quick "pee walk" twice a day (aside from his regular walks), just to avoid UTIs. On these walks, he miraculously (or intelligently) doesn't titrate (as dogs do) and does a long pee. He typically goes on the compost pile. So what about dog pee?
This is a real staple for me and I never gave it much thought. I use, when I have it, my homegrown tomato sauce. A ton of green peppers. Red wine. Homegrown basil. Stuff like oregano, some Frank's hot sauce, a lot of red wine, maybe a bit of anchovy or Worchestershireshire sauce, black pepper and salt, etc. I definitely brown the thigh skins. But just wondering what tips and tricks others may have.
It's a practical question and it's not directly about cooking, but I don't know where to ask it, while certain many on here have given the topic careful consideration. Obviously, I refer to the cyclospora problem. I also got plastic wrapped seedless cucumbers.
For some odd reason, this strikes me as remarkable. Of course, many other elements are not acting, though there is activity in the water, as opposed to a chair, that is just sitting there.
Interviews We listen to so many of them, and there are certain things that are really hard to listen to, cringy at times.
One biggie (a "don't") is after a long (or possibly short) answer is given by the interviewee, the interviewer says absolutely nothing and just moves on to another question. Really B-level interviewers do this a lot. I've heard some local interviews that were nearly tragic and riddled with this particular problem.
But then, how should an interviewer respond when they get a response that answers the question, aside from just rewording or repeating what the interviewee just said or breaking into too loud laughter (like that one economics guy on NPR)?
One solution is to be madly in love with the world and knowledge, like Terry Gross and Richard Fidler (Aussie, not really on my NPR), so you're teeming with possible add-ons to whatever is said. Short of that, what's an interviewer to do? (I'm not an interviewer, btw.)
Thoughts? Other "do's and don't's"?
E.g., when I'm watching a TV show and I predict the exact next line.
There are lots of things like this (for me). I think it would be interesting. Any thoughts?
My flair is a "bit annoyed". Sorry, I lied. I realize this might be removed, but still seems an interesting idea that might be of interest to people subscribing to this sub.
Franco (pause) Ordoñez...
I always wonder this. Is it because of the O's? So it doesn't sound like Frank Ordoñez?
When I grew up, "tossed" salad meant putting everything right on a bowl of lettuce, onions, garlic, etc.: meaning, oil, vinegar, black pepper, oregano, etc. all were sprinkled right on the dry lettuce, then the whole thing was tossed over and over to both mix and coat with the "dressing", which was never mixed as a dressing.
It worked well, and it does seem like there is something different in the taste from doing this as opposed to whisking a vinaigrette in a bowl then just putting it on lettuce with a brief toss to coat.
I've never seen this talked about.
There were two courtesans, and one would say something provocative to the King, while the other would, in a wonderfully fawning way, explain it away as something nice. I loved how those two did this, but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it on Youtube anywhere?
Starts with the chyron (?): "this show is based on extensive historical research."
Then in the first scene, we find George Washington doing something Washingtonian. He picks up his cell phone and tells a corporal that he's been "phoning in" his actions in the field. Etc. You get the idea. Seems like it could be fun.
I thought it would be so good, health-wise, but imagined it wouldn't taste so good. In this salad, it was low fat raspberry dressing + walnut/pistachio butter (homemade), and a can of "Louisiana hot sauce sardines" and some walnuts. The thing is, it tastes great, which is a game changer for me, allowing me to get salad plus sardines (a meal in itself). I just an so surprised it tastes so good. Has anyone done this? Other things you mix sardines into? I ask in part for health reasons.
I mean, there was literally one post. It seems like there must be a subreddit that is active.
A woman is at the beach with her son, daughter in law and their kids. Her son is swimming out a bit far and it looks like he's in trouble. The woman shouts, "Help! My son, the doctor, is drowning!"
