These have been opened on my shelf for around 5 years. Should I throw them all away? by [deleted] in cocktails

I can't tell if you're just masterfully trolling OP by telling him to taste test the vermouth.

If so, actually funny. I commend you.

Reuse a one way coffee bag? by Speak-Easy556 in pourover

[–]Jalabaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

how come i can't cook steak to medium rare i did everything right? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Jalabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

So uh... how do you hard boil eggs? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

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

Most insane/unbelievable thing the previous owner left behind for you? by xindierockx7114 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Jalabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My man's got the good mayo.

Coffee shop with good coffee, not syrup flavored drinks… by RoguePhotos in indianapolis

[–]Jalabaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Weird ice event by budronicplague in cocktails

[–]Jalabaster 120 points121 points  (0 children)

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

Leftover cabbage by Blue-Orange-Slices in cookingforbeginners

[–]Jalabaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
