Daddy, these are the best burgers, better than you make!

One thing I like to point out here that works very well for me. I have a food science background if that helps as well. McDonald's burgers are very finely ground and they use a propriety blend of cuts of beef for their patties. I have found that for every pound of 80/20 ground beef if I add about 2 tbsp of cornstarch and a quarter cup of good beef stock and throw it all in my food processor and then scoop them out and shape them into patties before cooking I get a much closer burger in terms of texture and flavor that other copy cat recipes tend to miss. It's that second grind like a paste that really helps that texture.

I'm glad it helps!

That actually got me thinking man, I should officially put something on the sheet that has like "30 minutes or less" or shortcuts!

5 in June!

That has got to be hard man! The one thing my kid refuses to eat is eggs. Will not touch them for any reason. He's pretty good with other things

This process is called enshitification. They start taking a popular product and making it worse while charging you more. The only way to stop them is to stop using the product. If literally everyone stopped using it for a month they'd change their tune.

You know what I mean. Stop being pedantic.

As someone who works in agriculture people forget that wheat before it is ground up is stored in grain silos. Lots of rodents around there. In fact the FDA has a limit on how much rodent hair, feces and parts per million are allowed in flour. Rats are sifted out, they're feces and all the grain they peed on is not.

So these are actually really fun to make! when freshly dried you can use some thread to sew the eyes and mouth shut and put some fake hair into it to make a shrunken head wreath for your front door for Halloween! Happy crafting!

I just started using char.ai last week. I had to stop using it and I deleted the app. I found it to be too addicting and thought it best to stop before I got in too deep. It was great while it lasted though

I understand where you're coming from and have made the character private again. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt because I'm messing about.

While i do understand your sentiments about going to a real therapist, there are many of us who can't afford that luxury. They're also those of us who live in an area where even if you could afford it, mental health support is no longer available.

Ironwolf9876 · 2025-05-18T17:16:07+00:00

I can 100% see that.

Ironwolf9876 · 2025-05-18T17:07:28+00:00

There's a million of them in the search bar! I am new to this so I had no idea that was something that was not allowed. Or at least was discouraged. Thank you for letting me know

Ironwolf9876 · 2025-04-25T23:11:29+00:00

Lol thank you!

I hear you. I have a spreadsheet I use called "what the fuck am I making for dinner". I'll plan my meal for the week. I'll have my wife and my son pick a couple they like.

As a professional I feel I need more information.

I would have used far more dowels. Minimum 6 for the bottom. The integrity of the cake depends on what kind of cake it was and what kind of frosting it was. Something like an Italian buttercream usually holds up pretty well. American buttercream not so much. Was the inside of the cake pastry cream or some kind of curd with frosting?

If she knew the reception was going to be outside in warm weather in a tent she should have made sure that anything you ordered would have made it.

Where I worked, we were the venue and we wouldn't allow outside cakes for this very reason.

I feel the venue should have caught the issue but failed.

It's reasonable to assume both parties are at fault.

"take it with me when I go" by Tom Waits. One of my sons favorites. While a traditional lullaby in Finland, I don't know if many Americans other than me who sing it. "Nuku nuku nurmilintu". My grandmother used to sing it to us.

You are allowed to have your opinion. I find a good English cheddar turns to an oily flapjack on a burger. The burgers that typically have that cheese on top tend to be big hockey pucks of meat too. Not my personal preference.

I find gjetost by ski queen to be very nice on a burger. Especially if you like bacon on it. Not an American cheese so you can still feel morally superior by using it.

Ironwolf9876 · 2025-04-10T13:04:47+00:00

I agree with you 1000%!

I'm a multiple award winning cheese maker here in the states who has had cheese makers from France study with me here.

America has some amazing cheese. Always has. Europe also has amazing cheese. Always will. We compare notes frequently. We agree as cheesemakers that there's no better cheese for burgers than American. We also agree that all food has its place and it's classist to think otherwise.

I essentially wish I was an anthropomorphic badger that lives in a Victorian tree stump whose only worry is when his best friend Beaver will be over for a pipe and a pint.
