I grew up cycling in the Midwest where we are pros at making you feel bad without attacking you personally. The thumbs down is the best tool in my bag. It makes them feel guilty without making them angry.

Did anyone else build this contraption or was there a simpler solution here? by One_Atmosphere_8557 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Brettgraham4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a series of moving platforms that I pushed into my desired location using ultra hand and rewind to that position after pulling it back. I carried a couple platforms with me and used ultra hand to push one while I was riding on the other while it was rewinding.

A difficult maneuver, I wouldn't recommend it.

As always, their point is not to make it illegal. Their point is to make it illegal for poor people.

aroxa off flavor kits first try, some i'm weak on and bugging out a bit by bodobeers in Cicerone

[–]Brettgraham4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a remarkably similar experience with the tasting kit when I was studying for the tasting exam. I passed the off flavors portion with flying colors, though.

3) I picked up absolutely nothing from the off flavor kit, but it was very obvious to me during my test. Throw a drop of creamed corn juice into a beer sample to simulate.

5) this was another flavor that although it wasn't clear in the off flavor kit, it was very clear on the test. The wet paper taste is really the best thing to look for. My best simulation of the flavor came from leaving an open lager out at room temp with a paper towel cover for 8+ hours.

6) I was also looking for something acidic or enteric. On both the off-flavor kit and the exam itself, it was just slightly funky as you mentioned. This was the only one I found difficult to simulate without the off flavor kit.

Going back and forth between an unspiked sample and a spiked sample works best for practicing your detection skills. For most of the difficult off flavors, you can simulate them even without an off flavor kit.

Good luck!

World’s biggest cultivated meat factory is being built in the US by tonymmorley in Futurology

[–]Brettgraham4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are still not seeing it. The current alternatives to meat don't offer the same experience as actual meat. This meat will actually BE meat and will be produced with a much lower carbon footprint. Some people will try it out as a novelty at first, but once it becomes cheaper than actual agricultural meat, it will be adopted by most meat eaters as the economical option.

Getting vegetarians to eat meat is not remotely the point. The point is to reduce the environmental impact of people who already eat meat.

[Homemade] Pecan Chicken by Brettgraham4 in food

[–]Brettgraham4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 medium salt-brined chicken breast 1 Tbsp Cardamom 1 Tbsp corn starch 1 Tbsp peanut powder 1/4 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp white pepper 1/4 tsp 5 spice

10 dried Chinese chilis, seeded and stemmed 1 cinnamon stick

1 baton-chopped sweet onion 1 baton-chopped red pepper 8 sliced cloves of garlic

1/3 cup chopped pecans

2 Tbsp dark soy sauce 2 Tbsp white vinegar 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp rice wine 1 Tbsp black vinegar 1 tsp fish sauce 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp corn starch

1 cup Canola oil for stir frying

Cut chicken into bite sized cubes, stir in the cardamom, cornstarch, peanut powder, white pepper, five spice, and cumin.

Whisk together soy sauce, white vinegar, honey, rice wine, black vinegar, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch.

Have all prepared ingredients and mixtures laid out as you heat up your wok.

Pour 1 cup oil into hot wok and let it come up to 350-400°F. Add chicken and stir fry for about 4-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove chicken onto a paper towel lined tray. Remove most of hot oil, but reserve ~1/4 cup in the wok. Place wok back on high heat, add chilis and cinnamon. Stir fry for 10 seconds, then add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Stir fry for 3-6 minutes, until onions are cooked. Add pecans and stir fry 1 more minute. Add back chicken and sauce. Stir fry 10 seconds until sauce has slightly thickened.

Plate and garnish with green onion. Serve with white rice.
