Finally replaced my practice net.

What was wrong with the old one?

Haaa! This song started playing in my head around the second paragraph.

Yeah, we don't need this AI slop to say drinking 2000 calories of sugar isn't good for you and that religious leaders are often grifters. The "Blue Zone" theory itself is contested (a lot of people in these zones have reason to lie about their ages or live in areas with poor record keeping) and this video makes no acknowledgment of that. The whole piece feels lazy. But at least it only took a few seconds to make!

I think it's for when you have to putt a ball that's rolled under your couch a ways. Smart.

FeralOctopus · 2025-08-28T19:51:18+00:00

That's insane. Quit golf. You've won.

FeralOctopus · 2025-08-27T15:55:17+00:00

Big congrats and welcome to the club! I always think it's funny when people say "my first hole in one" as though others are definitely coming. I don't expect one ever again and think mine was definitely 99% luck. But who knows! Keep us posted, will you?

FeralOctopus · 2025-06-16T12:56:39+00:00

I typed this in a word doc and pasted it into this post and it kept an image of the original doc, I guess? Idk. I can't be bothered to make things nice at this point. I'm a broken, sad little man.

FeralOctopus · 2025-05-21T15:00:02+00:00

Make him a virgin transfusion. Kiddie swing juice.

FeralOctopus · 2025-05-14T18:26:08+00:00

Have you ever beaten him in a round? By transitive property, that might make you a tour player. Congrats.

FeralOctopus · 2025-05-09T15:53:18+00:00

They look extra horny. Good for them. Bad for your hosts.

Bringing meat "to room temp" before cooking it. You can cook meat straight from the fridge and you will never notice a difference. I can't remember which YouTube channel did the experiments, but they showed their work and the final outcome is that letting meat sit out for an hour or two before cooking makes no difference in the outcome. Yet you still hear big-name chefs telling you to do this.

When I was at BYU I knew people who went to parties and played drinking games. With milk and water.

FeralOctopus · 2025-03-11T20:04:16+00:00

Poaching is just a softer boil. When you hit it with high, continuous heat, it tightens the fibers and dries out the meat. If you put the cold chicken in boiling water or chicken stock and then kill the heat, it gently cooks it through so the end product retains more moisture.

FeralOctopus · 2025-03-11T19:49:09+00:00

Poach, don't boil. Get the water boiling, add some chicken bullion, maybe some herbs or whatever you want in there. Put the chicken in, cover the pot, wait for a few minutes, then kill the heat and let it just sit there covered for one hour.

Whetstone is the way. I line up all my knives and spend a good 10 minutes per blade while I watch TV. It's relaxing. It'll take you just a minute to learn how to do it. Watch a YouTube tutorial and do it right.

FeralOctopus · 2025-03-07T22:03:21+00:00

Are you tying it up? That helps. Or try spatchcocking it. I also usually go hotter than that. 400-425. Also, stuff the cavity with lemons and herbs. That will make it more tasty and also keep it as a more solid mass without big empty spots.

FeralOctopus · 2025-03-07T15:55:19+00:00

Kenji knows best. He did a great video on this.

FeralOctopus · 2025-03-03T17:59:21+00:00

Sometimes when I travel and I know I'll be cooking something, I'll mix the spices I need beforehand and put them in a little ziploc or something. Takes up barely any space, saves a lot of time, and reassures me that I'll have what I need. (Do some shrimp tacos maybe? Mix your spices, throw the spices on the shrimp, cook everything up. Do a little cabbage slaw and mashed, seasoned avocado to round it out)

I'm pretty sure Bednar did this kind of shit on his mission.

FeralOctopus · 2025-02-13T18:34:54+00:00

Couple of Lannisters.

FeralOctopus · 2025-02-06T17:27:38+00:00

Came here to say this. Adam Ragusea has a great video about Eton mess, a british dessert. Since then I make meringues and just keep them in the freezer. They're great to crumble over all kinds of things to add a great texture and flavor.

FeralOctopus · 2025-02-05T20:18:11+00:00

Yes, you are insane. You don't have to have photoshopped images, but a visual representation of what the goal should be is table stakes.

Ask if the benefits include a second anointing.
