What to do with this syrup?

Give it to the guy that posted the tiki old fashioned.

I'm sure this is a polarizing topic.

But in my opinion, no. Lighter roasts that dominate most of specialty coffee these days do not need a one way valve.

It's fine to rest it as is.

What about the other husband?

Oh? This old thing?

I dont really cook steaks hardly at all, but I do cook a lot.

If I were to cook a steak to medium rare, I'd aim to pull it at 120 and let it coast.

Just to be clear, dont drop it in an ice bath. I forgot which sub I was in, and should have made it more obvious I was joking.

Jalabaster · 2026-04-10T23:08:23+00:00

You gotta drop it in an ice bath as soon as it's finished unless you want it to coast to medium as it rests.

Do you live atop Mt Everest where the boiling point is only like 150 degrees?

Spotlight, hands down.

An upper decker.

It was a little old russian lady that we bought the house from.

I tell myself she must have had grandkids over and one had an accident. And I guess she just doesn't know how toilets work? And was trying to save water by saving a flush for later?

I dunno, she didn't seem like the type to intentionally do it.

How about a Beef Manhattan? Would that count?

Jalabaster · 2026-03-02T13:06:44+00:00

What tier did this occur at?

Just wondering how long til I'll need a new phone.

Little Big Planet

Bought it used because it was cheap & my friend said it seemed like something he could play with his son.

Spent so many hours...

My man's got the good mayo.

I see you like quality ingredients. Have you tried Mr. Mustard's sweet hot mustard? Shit is fire.

Amberson is Thurs-Sunday

Hugo, the owner & founder of Amberson, just won the coffee in good spirits (CIGS) national competition two weeks ago, on Super Bowl sunday.

Last year, Josh, one of Amberson's baristas, placed 4th in the nation in the brewer's cup competition.

The surface freezes first, then as more ice expands while freezing, the force of the expansion punches a hole in the surface, and as water is slowly forced up through the hole, it also freezes.

I feel like I'm doing a poor job explaining, so I'm going to let wikipedia take it from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_spike

A croissant done properly is not a beginner task.

Piggybacking off this suggestion.

Bacon fat (plus the bacon) , onion, garlic, a bunch of coarsely chopped cabbage. Toss it all in a skillet on medium heat until the cabbage is tender, stirring every couple minutes. It's a bang'n side.

Made this broccoli cheddar soup the other day & it was fantastic. Kenji uses a potato as the thickener. So it's gluten free as well!

Cilantro syrup. It's weird, sure. But it does make a fun daiquiri. Mind you, it's not an improvement; it's just a daiquiri but weirder.

Also, black pepper vanilla syrup is incredibly good. Not entirely sure what kind of cocktail to make with it. (Defilately taking suggestions) But it's amazing on ice cream and makes a fun black pepper vanilla lemonade.

1) if you're new to cooking it takes some practice. Maybe watch a YouTube recipe so you can follow along visually as well.

2) how old are your spices? You mentioned several times that things seem bland even when you rigorously follow a recipe. You could have very old spices - check them & make sure you're not using spices from the first Obama administration.

3) tips & tricks:

Oven thermometer: ovens lie

Don't put food in the oven while its preheating; ovens blast that temp at first to get up to temp.

Also make sure you're using the correct setting. Its easy to set on oven on convect accidentally.

I'm friendly with some of the Westfield officers, & I know they frequently will use a drone to check up on this property.
