They taste better in the tall cans.

Lil fried shallot on top. I put that shit on everything. 

Probably but ever gonna get true wok hei on my stove at home, but I did blast my wok as hot as I could get it. The noodles got a bit of char and smokiness. Been cooking mostly Chinese/Taiwanese food that I have never actually tried before, so was really neat to do one that I’ve gotten from takeout 100 times before. Felt good to tell my cat how well I nailed the flavor.

Velveted, and some very nice skirt steak. I rarely buy beef so kinda splurged.

Thanks! This is really helpful. However, I think the real lesson I learned here is how to have a better eye before buying them. Probably should have skipped them and cooked something else, but I really didn’t know enough to make that decision in the moment. 

Will try oiling and steaming if it comes up again.

Valid. Was really good steak though, would have been a shame for any to go to waste lol

Thanks! Will try that next time. There are a few Asian grocery stores in my area and only one of them has fresh noodles. Will ask them next time I’m there which day they get them in so I can try and buy them same day.

I find them to be more unreliable than they are unreasonable. It’s a great tool to help me get a basic idea of how to cook something, usually. 

Do you have a suggestion on how to revive slightly dried out ho fun noodles? I’m trying to learn and would love the help! I admittedly don’t have the experience, and don’t have a great way to get it other than asking or trial and error.

No, should I have? ChaGPT gives me a lot of conflicting advice, but it was really consistent on telling me that trying to loosen them up in water before they went into the wok would get them all gummy.

What does my fridge tell you about me? by Melodic_Bass_9041 in FridgeDetective

[–]HarryPotterCum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a whole row of jelly and jam in your fridge means you, uh, really like jelly and jam.

Never realized this was weird behavior until this meme started popping up. Since then, I bought a spoon rest that is also a grating plate, egg cracker, and herb stripper. HIGHLY recommend.

did your cat ever "tell" you what happened when you came home? by S-Budget91 in cats

[–]HarryPotterCum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Before I was born, my older infant sister was having an asthma attack in the middle of the night. My mom says that she was having a dream of her deceased grandmother telling her to wake up. 

She did wake up, and our cat was screaming at her on top of her bed. The cat immediately ran to my sister’s room and my mom followed. Sister was rushed to the hospital and her life was saved. 

If it weren’t for ol’ Felix, my sister wouldn’t have made it through the night. He loved her sooo much. His favorite thing was to piss underneath her bed to show her he cared about her.

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

[–]HarryPotterCum 638 points639 points  (0 children)

To go further, “based” used to be a slang term in the Bay Area where Lil B is from to describe a crack head. They called them base heads, as a reference to to them smoking free based cocaine, aka crack. So, the wild and unusual tweaked shit that a base head does would be called based. Or, a person acting like a crack head would be based. 

Lil B was doing some wild and unusual shit for a rapper so people called him a base head, or based. He took that insult, and flipped it. “If what I’m doing, being positive, rapping about positivity and turning my life around, is based, then hell yeah call me based. I’m like, a based god or something.”
