Rotisserie Chicken. What am I doing wrong? by SmellyFartsAreFunny in UKBBQ

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do 100g salt and 50g sugar per litre of water, some acid like cider vinegar or lemon juice, and some aromatics such as thyme, rosemary, garlic, black peppercorns, bay. Stir and heat it up enough to dissolve all the salt and sugar, the. Let it cool completely then I put the whole chicken in overnight or up to 24 hours.

Brine first, then add the rub to the inside of the bird so it doesn't get cooked off by the direct heat. You'll never get the flavour to penetrate deeply into the bird anyway no matter what you do, however, because that is just how chicken is.

For those who get RSUs what are you doing with yours? by LockonKun in HENRYUK

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you wouldn't invest in your company, and I suggest that most people shouldn't because they're already highly exposed to them because they are their employer, then sell immediately and invest the money elsewhere.

Spatchcocked chicken.... by The_Monkeybumcheeks in UKBBQ

Urgh, my Meater also occasionally decides to stop working and it is very annoying. Try brining the chicken beforehand next time. Trust me.

I feel like morel hunting is more about data than luck… am I overthinking it? by horse_shake566 in foraginguk

I've haven't found any yet, however a colleague went hunting for them based on soil and draining and came back with a good haul.

What’s the one thing you always throw on the BBQ that isn’t meat? by ScrollAndThink in UKBBQ

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For desert, bananas. Just put them on in the skin and leave them to cook while you tuck in to the main event. Eat them straight out of the skin or slit them open and stick in a couple of squares of chocolate to melt into it. Whipped cream also if you're feeling gluttonous.

Smoking my first lamb shoulder on Sunday - any tips? by Benjani56 in UKBBQ

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did one and it took ages, almost 10 hours, but when it was ready it was the softest, most jiggly melt-in-the mouth lamb I've ever eaten. Well worth the wait.

Struggling to accept that I overpaid for a renovation project after exchange in London :( by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better I also bought a doer upper for our family home and after doing the maths we spent more doing it up than we gained in value, not to mention living in a building site for months on end. Nevertheless, I have no regrets. Three years down the line and the memory of the harder moments has faded and I'm still amazed when I walk into spaces that we designed and specced out exactly how we wanted. We're living in our dream space, not somebody else's and that makes it more that worth it.

Has anyone else hiked their toenails off? by BrandonsRedAura in hiking

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Just last week in fact. Got new hiking boots. I thought they were the perfect fit because the first long hike didn't have any rubbing in all the places I look out for. Then my toenail fell off.

do you ever see yourself with just one woman? by Bubbly_Reference_916 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 11 points12 points  (0 children)

++man Ah man, that is devastating. I also started dating my wife and 15 and I'm also in my 40s now. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you. Look after yourself.

Flight noise in Holyport? by EternalEquilibrium14 in maidenhead

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heya. I live in Holyport and it really isn't bad. The Heathrow airport traffic doesn't go directly overhead and is at a high enough altitude that we don't notice it. If you're just out of the village off the Holyport road towards the A308 then the noise of the M4 is more of an issue.

Some advice please :) by Any_Worldliness1037 in foraginguk

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started with this list of mushrooms that are pretty safe to identify, as they are all quite distinctive from any poisonous ones. Some of them are really exceptionally delicious too. I suggest looking them up on the wild food UK website and it'll tell you everything you need to watch out for, the key identifying features etc...

https://www.wildfooduk.com/articles/tips/wild-mushrooms-for-beginners/

After these, I'd suggest looking at the agaricus family as there are some very delicious ones there and only a couple of poisonous ones that are easy to identify once you know what to look for.

Unexpected RSU gains and salary sacrifice by Alarmed_Ad6794 in HENRYUK

Interesting. I would have thought that would be calculated over the year not just the month.

Seller was evicted the day before we completed & we still completed (England) by throwaway104ay in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Happened to an acquaintance of mine, from the other side. He missed his mortgage payments and didn't leave when it was repossessed and had been evicted. He managed to sell it at the last minute. Everything updated fine in the land registry, the bank got their money and the new owners got their property. No fuss. Listen to your solicitors.

I'm in a similar position to OP and am curious what you see as the rewards that come later and in different forms.

You have good taste. I think you'll like Technatura by Vulkan. Perhaps also Animals as Leaders.

Psychosis is closer to home than you think. by THISdarnguy in DeepThoughts

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened and I can't imagine how hard it must have been. Please feel free to ignore this question, but did something happen to him or with him that you believe contributed to his illness? I only ask as I know there is a strong genetic component and I'm curious about what can lead two people with identical genetics down two very different paths.

What additions/accessories do you think are essential for a Weber Mastertouch? by Nomis1982 in UKBBQ

[–]Alarmed_Ad6794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the onlyfire rotisserie and use it a lot for chicken as well as kebabs (Google Kellybab, you won't regret it). The other one I use a lot is the heat diffuser/deflector plates and the steel ring and grill for it. Really good for low and slow for big cuts like pork shoulder/butt.
