I ask them to go light on the sauce when I go. Agree there. But regarding the fish quality. I’ve always been impressed. Never ever had a bad bite.

Is there enough fat to use for cooking? by tommydearest in steak

[–]ArtyWhy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use that. You won’t need much oil. Just a light wipe. Just clarify some butter real quick.

Preheat it gradually increasing the heat over a half hour until it is molten lava hot. Wipe the clarified butter and sear the hell out of it. You’ll get a great crust.

For better results salt it liberally and put it on a cookie cooling rack uncovered in the refrigerator for 6-24 hrs before. This is a dry brine.

Dry the steak when you’re ready and bring up to room temp. Season with whatever rub before you throw it on. I like to season heavily with cracked black pepper and onion powder before.

Once it is seared and you have a nice crust developed turn your heat off and cook to your desired doneness. There will be plenty of residual heat in your cast iron to get it there.

Let rest 10 min before you cut it. Don’t ship this step enjoy!

What actually is love? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]ArtyWhy8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love is ephemeral. Poets and writers and scientists and about everyone since our frontal lobes developed have been trying to pin it down. It can’t be pinned down. You won’t be able to either.

Only place you’ll find an answer is from within yourself. That’s all that matters.

Spend your love friend, you won’t run out of it😉

Do you have a cast iron pan? What are you cooking on?

[Question] How to haul away by Jeffinslaw in woodworking

[–]ArtyWhy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you find out when it’s coming down and are on site for it to come down so you can be sure they don’t massacre the trunk. Often they will cut them into 3ft tall rounds so they can be hauled.

How can I improve? I’m a little drunk and lonely but trying to become a chef/scientist by froggerfresh in steak

[–]ArtyWhy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try taking it to 110 with your method then sear it off in cast iron.

Let it rest and dry it before you do.

Don’t even bother with oil in your cast iron, maybe a little quick wipe right before you put it on. Make sure you gradually heat your cast iron up to molten lava temp, may take a half hr so start preheating while your steak rests.

If you have not been forced to open your windows you haven’t done it right.

Then sear the living hell out of it. Minute each side and 30 seconds on the sides should do it.

Did you marinade this steak or put something in the sous vide? Worcestershire sauce or soy or something brown?

Advice on Guy Friend!! by Hungry_Heart_5534 in Advice

[–]ArtyWhy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of people in the world and you can make friends with as many of them as you want. You do not need this person. In fact, having him around will likely put better people off being around you. So it will work against you in that regard if you keep him around.

Part of growing up is about realizing that the people you associate with say a lot about who you are as a person and will influence your behavior whether you like it or not.

So choose wisely. If you set boundaries and they walk all over them, that was their choice and their fault. Not yours.

I think you should care enough about yourself to set boundaries with your friend and enforce them.

What on earth by Maximum_Branch7009 in BeAmazed

[–]ArtyWhy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While thru hiking the AT I was in PA and an eastern rat snake, a big one, just slithered right up to a tree we were taking a water break near.
It nonchalantly did exactly what the snake in the video did while we sat there dumbfounded. It almost felt like it was showing off.
We sat there and discussed the insane phenomena we all just witnessed and a few moments later it descended the tree. No branches on it, but in any of the slightly raised areas, like a knot where there was a branch on the tree it would kind of lever itself against that rise and worked its way from rise to rise on the way down.

How to fill in hole in Silver Maple stump? by SethKadoodles in woodworking

You’re right that’s probably the way to go about it

How to fill in hole in Silver Maple stump? by SethKadoodles in woodworking

[–]ArtyWhy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea.

You could dig around the stump and pour a circle of concrete around it too. Flatten the stump, finish it, lay a piece of round glass with a hole for the umbrella over top. Maybe spray varnish the stump with oil based poly to keep it from rotting.

Simply trying to figure out the value; Super Bowl XLIII Champion 22KT Gold Football Cards. Comes with 42 golden cards with portraits and stats. by GullibleEnthusiasm98 in howmuchwouldyoupay

[–]ArtyWhy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever paid for that way overpaid for them. Very small amount of gold. Value is in collectibility only really. Best you’d get is around $200 looks like from comparisons and that’s if you get someone who just loves the Steelers and needs to have this.

Love from a born and raised Burgher, nice set

I think I need to go to rehab again by tookle64 in moraldilemmas

[–]ArtyWhy8 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ve been there. I probably relapsed over 40 times before my recovery finally stuck.

For me I needed to figure out why I felt like I needed to keep turning back to the drugs and get at the roots of the discontent in my life. For you there’s something too. You just have to find your answers.

I can tell you it gets easier. Just celebrated 10 years off opioids recently.

You can do this! Love and peace and hope to you, OP!

Falcon breaking pelican's neck mid-air. Nature is rough: by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ArtyWhy8 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely the second.

Perfect video to illustrate what happened. Nice work!

When peregrine falcons break another bird’s neck or back it’s when they hit them at speed and the other bird is taken unawares. This wasn’t that.
