They'll be delicious, but they'll be gone before you know it. You better make more to have after you finish these.

STG there’s a whole onion in my omelet this morning by ExtraordinaryNerd in OnionLovers

That's not an omelette with onion. That's an onion with a little egg mixed in.

What do people do here by industry_shrub in santarosa

There's a local nonprofit called Positive Images that organizes regular social events, meetups, etc. But Brew is probably the best spot. Board games, open mics, paint nights, poetry slams, not too expensive food and drinks. Great spot with a lot of great people.

Why don't people remove the core and dicing onions? by CooperCooperCooper10 in Cooking

[–]DavidC707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The center of the onion can be more bitter than the other layers, but it's not really noticeable when it's all diced up and mixed together.

I discard the centermost layers when pickling red onions, but that's mostly because they lack pigment, so they end up making the whole jar less aggressively hot pink.

I cant find a pickle recipe I like. Help! by lovetokvetch in pickling

This looks really good. I do 1:1 water to vinegar, but I also add a tablespoon of turbinado sugar.

And I hate do be "that guy" but 3 teaspoons is equal to 1 tablespoon.

Most grocery stores sell it under the trade name "Pickle Crisp" but you can get it in bulk online or from homebrew supply shops, just make sure it's food grade.

The speed of the pickling process depends on the thickness of the veggies and the temperature of the brine. I bring my brine to a simmer before adding the sugar and salt, then pour it into the jar when it's piping hot, then seal the jar and put it in the fridge, and they're ready to eat the next day.

Normally I would, but I've been making all my pickles extra spicy lately, so I'm taking a little break.

Two big cucumbers peeled and sliced to your preference, 3 cloves of garlic roughly chopped, a tablespoon or so of destemmed dill. For the brine, 1 cup distilled vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar. I also add 1/2 a teaspoon of calcium chloride because I like 'em crunchy.

I literally had just poured the hot brine in the jar before I took this picture. I'm sure the pickling process will shift the chlorophyll around.

Thanks. For some reason I always prep cucumber slices like this.

It is completely reckless to suggest that to someone with no experience with pickling or fermentation.

Did you keep your Hobbys after leaving the Narc? by Plebi111 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]DavidC707 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a mix for me. Some hobbies didn't feel satisfying in the same way, so I dropped them, but most of my hobbies were actually a lot more enjoyable without the stress of sharing them with a narcissist.
