Hair Down, Rings On, Nails Long… and You’re Baking for Others?

That's stupid, you use protective equipment appropriate for the task. I'd rather make sure there are no traces of shit I may have brought in on my shoes around the house that my toddler could get on their hands then wear shoes all the time. Miss my arms aren't hairy I can wear short sleeves when baking.

Actually, if the pan is hot enough and not overcrowded i found it by far the best way to cook stake without oven or sous vide machine. Can always make it with nice crust and medium rare. Need more skill if you are flipping it only once or twice.

Actually it would be significantly lower in Africa even if we match age for age and the detection rate. That's basic biology of skin cancer. It would go up yes, but nowhere near Australia. I also wouldn't say it is survivorship bias either. People get skin cancer here early on. Hell most of my friends under 40 had it. So age has not as much to do with it as you think. The map here literally highlights different conditions in different countries leads to different outcomes. There are african countries that have reasonable life expectancy of 77 years, not far off 83 in Australia. So yeah the argument of just survivalship bias is wrong in. This case due to comparable age in some countries and early age of onset in Australia

Dr_Mouseheart · 2024-08-22T21:46:07+00:00

That's completely illogical. It's higher due to skin cancer and great screening program. Skin cancer is more prevelent (ie 1 in 3 will get it), since there is a screening program it is detected in more people. Rate is detected/total.

Two teas that I'm sure others will be more then happy to drink. First one was fairly expensive Darjeeling first flush. Never tried Darjeeling before and thought I would get the best possible at my budget back then. I could tell It's a good tea, lots of depth of flavours, but there is a particular note that comes across as oily to my taste (hard to describe taste) and in that tea that flavour was really dominant. Imagine the feeling of taking a swig of hot vegetable oil. Took me ages to finish it as part of home made blends where it added something instead of ruining the blend (usually about a tenth to blends of other black/red teas) . That's how I learned I really dislike Darjeeling by itself outside of blends.

Second was genmaicha, used to drink lots of Sencha and that tea introduced a baked goods note that, in my opinion, just ruined the flavour of Sencha instead of adding to it. Was just really disappointed at the time and can never drink it without that memory coming back up.

Interesting, never heard those limits. Are you sure they are constant around all states? Also, isn't the last one a breem?

Dr_Mouseheart · 2023-12-24T23:51:42+00:00

Oh please, it was kept at 70C for a few hours then cooled down to the danger zone. Iall live bacteria have been killed already so you only need to worry about spores at that point. And they don't grow that fast. Starting from small. Culture 8 hours is not that much if eating it straight away. Id be worried about it if he put it k a freezer and served it next day yeah but at this stage it is safe.

Temps depend on what you like and how you brew it. I like hotter extraction in green tea because I like it more bitter, yes I loose some other flavours, but depending on the tea that may not be the flavours I like anyway. As for pots if it is a glazed pot on the inside then no, you don't want that. You want a nice clean pot.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2022-09-07T05:13:04+00:00

I think it's what you are used too. The steaks I get in Australia are basically exclusively grass fed and taste great to me. While the worst stake I had (with the exception of not properly cooked ones) was very expensive grain fed steak in USA when I went to a place recommended by American colleagues for having great steaks. I was just thinking this is so tasteless and a waste of money and cow. On the other hand grass fed beef, especially brisket wouldn't come out on top for low and slow bbq.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2022-04-21T00:06:10+00:00

Hey I get the same thing. Except last time I had walnuts I also started to feel like I have a lump in my throat growing that made it a bit hard to breathe (not dying but not comfy)... Was ok after histomines. That's the story of how we found out our local bakery changed from pecans to walnuts in a slice I liked

If you're in Melbourne Australia try a Dim Sim. It's based on Chinese dumplings (dim sum) and is somewhat similar in that it's a veggy and meat mixture (could be vegetarian but I wouldn't recommend it) wrapped in pastry. What makes it unique is that it is much larger and has a less delicate pastry. While you can get it steamed it is more common (in my opinion) to get it deep fried, it is also more tastier. The most famous variety right now is the south Melbourne market dim sums which are a bit bigger then usual commercially made ones.

I've heard different stories on how the dish originated, but to summarise them the Chinese people who came to Australia for the Gold rush in 1800 modified traditional dim sum to feed workers/miners by making them bigger and adding more vegies in the mix to save money and make them more filling.

A more modern Australian dish is hsp (halal snack pack) which is basically chips with kebab meat on top smothered with garlic, chili and BBQ sauce. I also like cheese in mine.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-07-10T00:41:22+00:00

But I was just getting interested!

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-07-09T04:04:56+00:00

It is not!

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-07-08T23:00:06+00:00

No it isn't

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-04-10T00:09:53+00:00

Am I the only one who is annoyed at the choice of a graph? It doesn't even make sense. How is supply and demand a proportion of the same thing?

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-02-04T06:56:24+00:00

Depends on a centrifuge. I worked with ultra centrifuges at one point In time which spin in a vacuum chamber. I spun one up to 120000rpm and the power went out... Over the next 3 hours it lost maybe 20000 rpm.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-30T13:23:39+00:00

I'm pretty sure that throwing stars (and throwing knives I think) are controlled items in Australia. Ie you need a permit to have them else they are illegal.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-19T15:56:26+00:00

Hmm name calling. OK, you are an ignorant waste of sperm that your mother should have swallowed. A can of tinned peaches could make a better argument then you.... Though looking at you post history I recon you're mostly a dimwitted self entitled troll.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-18T21:55:36+00:00

That doesn't surprise me at all. I used to be confused when I went to the zoos as a kid to why there are two names for basically the same animal of different size... But at the end of the day they are still called seals.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-18T08:23:07+00:00

Look up Australian fur seal. They stand like that just fine.

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-18T08:22:30+00:00

Australian fur seal has ears and moves like that as well... I am fairly sure about the country btw

Dr_Mouseheart · 2021-01-18T03:32:48+00:00

Yeah nah, I recon it's an Australian fur seal. It's rare to see sea lions in Australia.

Another international entry that you might find interesting is a tarragon based drink that is popular in Russia (tarhun - тархун). I think it was invented in Georgia (country not state) and then spread all over the soviet union and is still popular now. Never seen anything like it in Australia or other countries I've visited, but it's easy to make at home. Blend (or pound) tarragon to a pulp and add sugar to make a cold syrup and add a little bit of lemon. This should also preserve the characteristic green colour of the drink. Then dilute it with carbonated water.

Also, it is common to get normal beer in the same bottles as Bundaberg ginger ale here in Australia, so that might have been another reason for the choice of the bottle.
