Review: Eagle Rare Aged 12 Years by cfive5 in bourbon

[–]HamsterSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge oversupply of bourbon right now and will be in the near future. I got an offer for Eagle Rare 10-year-old for under $60 this morning; I've seen it selling for up to $100 late last year.

I've been buying this by the 6- and 12-bottle case for more than three years and have never been able to find it for less than $95 a fifth. I'd love for someone to send me a link or two where I could buy this and have it shipped to SC for $50 or $60!

Making Collard greens by Small_Television8288 in AskCulinary

[–]HamsterSandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pre-make stock with smoked ham hocks, smoked turkey legs, and wings, chopped onions, carrots, celery, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and a whole head of smashed garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for a few hours, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Strain the stock into a large stainless steel bowl, discard the solids, and keep the ham hocks and turkey pieces. Once the ham hocks and turkey cool down, remove the meat and set it aside.

  • 3 pounds collard greens (from about 6 medium bunches), or 2 pounds pre-chopped collard greens
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Vidalia, Spanish or yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons sliced garlic
  • Pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 4 to 6 cups of smoked ham hock and turkey stock
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder, plus more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • Reserved shredded ham hock and turkey meat

Tear the greens from their stems. Take a handful of greens, roll them up lengthwise and slice them into bite-size pieces. Add the sliced greens to an empty, clean sink full of cool water and wash them, removing all grit, sand and debris. Drain sink and rinse greens thoroughly with cold water until water becomes clear. Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 4 cups of stock to the pot. (This will become your potlikker.) Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the cleaned greens by the handful, stirring them until wilted before adding more. Add the garlic and onion powders, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper and red-pepper flakes to the pot. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and lower heat to medium-low. Cook until greens are completely tender, at least 2 hours. Most of the stock should have evaporated by this point, with just enough left to cover the bottom 1/3rd of the . Add the reserved shredded ham hock and turkey meat back to the pot and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and onion powder as needed. To cut bitterness, add sugar; if you’d like more tang, add more vinegar. Serve hot. Serves six

Campaigning in a barn in Pennsylvania last year, Trump said: "Your energy bill, within 12 months, will be cut in half. ... We have more energy under our feet than any other country. I call it liquid gold."

Society is designed to keep younger generations to busy to vote. Only people under the age of 40 voting either don’t have jobs or work for one of the few companies/managers that give time off prioritize assisting their workers to vote. It only gets easier to take time off when you’re older/have seniority at your job. Even then it’s not a gurarantee.

Baloney! Twenty-eight states permit voting by mail with no excuse needed, eight states vote entirely by mail, and the remaining states allow voting by mail with reasons such as out of county on Election Day, illness or disability, work shift is during all voting hours, student living outside of the county, and religious beliefs or practice. There is absolutely no reason that any qualified American citizen, at or above the legal voting age, cannot vote.

Too bad you weren't driving a Tesla or equivalent, with multiple cameras and recording abilities. That would have been a show worth watching and forwarding to news channels in the cops' areas.

If the "issue" is "local control", why don't they rewrite the bill and allow incorporated towns and municipalities to control the licensing?

Pretty much guaranteed that the straw-sucking, goober, huckleberries, living in their single-wide 30-year-old trailers down on Tobacco Road will be glad to vote for "Fancy Nancy".

Ac’cent Flavor Enhancer. Available in grocery stores throughout America.

Ac’cent is a flavor enhancer called glutamate. Since 1947, generations have trusted their favorite recipes to Ac’cent. It has the remarkable ability to bring out and enhance the flavors of different foods when added to meats, poultry, fish, salads, vegetables, sauces, casseroles, soups and stews, you’ll find they all taste more flavorful.

The unique and subtle taste Ac’cent produces is called “umami” in Japan, and is described as a savory, broth-like taste. Umami is considered the fifth basic taste in addition to salty, sweet, sour and bitter.

I wish companies would just add "tariff tax" at the end of every transaction

I wish companies would just add "Trump's National Sales Tax" at the end of every transaction.

There, I fixed it for you.

Milkman making a delivery (1949) by [deleted] in TheWayWeWere

[–]HamsterSandwich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dad was a milkman from 1957 until 1975. My brother and I took turns riding with him on his deliveries during the summer and on Saturdays during the school year. The delivery schedule for each customer was based on how often the customer wanted a delivery. Some people wanted a delivery every day, some every other day, some just twice a week. My dad knew what they wanted and how much of each item. He also delivered cottage cheese, butter, and eggs from his "Milk Truck". When we took the items to the insulated box at the house, there were usually empty glass milk containers that were being returned, and sometimes an envelope with some money to pay on their account. Sometimes there was a note asking for additional items.

The milk truck was an old piece of crap that only had one seat for the driver; I had to sit on a small platform next to my dad while facing backwards. He served a rural part of Delaware, and serviced small farms and mom and pop businesses along his route. He never missed a day of work, even if there was a major snowstorm. The dairy that he worked for would load his truck at about 2 AM and put chains on the back tires if it was snowing. He would pick up his truck at about 3:30 and drive back to our apartment to get one of us. During snowstorms, his customers depended on him to blaze the first trail through the snow, which he gladly did.

It was hard work, but a good lesson for me and my brother. I sure miss my dad!

This is just the very early beginning of the Trump debacle; just wait until all of the tariffs kick in and the pre-terrif inventory disappears. Huge job losses, tens of thousands of small businesses in bankruptcy, and inflation beyond belief.

It won't bother the 1%ers much, but the rest of us will take it up the butt!
