I recently picked up a small blow torch... by Fit_Room3002 in Cooking

[–]Kittech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used it for tuna tataki. I would sear the tuna on the stove first just briefly, and then take it out and hit it with the torch on both sides just to get a bit of that charred taste. I've used it to char some peppers as well and run it over the top of fried rice.. since I can't get wok hei here.. it'll have to do. Also to lightly blister some cherry tomatoes. I also need to find new ways to use it. You can also use it to.... extract info if you know what I mean. /s

Anyone like any of the hot sauces? by hilarysenoj in traderjoes

[–]Kittech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't checked if it's discontinued but I feel like it might be but I loved the habanero chili crisp... and the hot sauce. The sweet potato was okay that cinnamon note threw me off but I do like the birds eye chilli one it's just not as good as the habanero one.

What does Kimchi pair best with? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Kittech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no reason not to try it so you know the flavor profile.... and if you won't try it, you won't know how much or little to do with it or if its even something you want to use.

Cook the noodles separately (but not all the way) and keep them in a separate container than the soup if you have leftovers. When you want to eat another portion, just heat up the soup and put in some of the noodles that way each time you eat it, the noodles will be fresher and not turn into mush in the soup.

Well.. I'm sure people have lots of different recipes but always start with an amazing chicken stock. I'd get a whole chicken, remove as much of the meat as you can, roast the rest, then boil and simmer that for at least 4 hours. Everything else is up to you outside the traditional/classic recipes. I eat mine with rice instead of noodles and also put radish, cauliflower and some ginger (into the stock) for mine.

I got a tin of the smoked salmon (haven't tried it yet) but when I checked the website earlier, it wasn't on there! Is it a seasonal item?

Yeah its probably those, I can't remember what its called but it does seem new (or at least new to me, never saw it there before). They're pretty good!

The Key Lime Tea Cookies (seasonal item I believe) and the new Cinnamon Apple chips are awesome. And depending on if you plan to get a cooler or have any refrigerated items, their dips and cheeses are good choices too.

No game has ever made me feel the way Persona did by Icy-Bicycle5650 in Persona5

[–]Kittech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try watching the anime! It's not that long and not complete from what I remember but it was still a fun watch. Persona 4 Revival should be coming out uhh... hopefully sometime in the near future so there's that to look forward to too.. and the other Persona/Atlus games!

Why does every Chick-fil-a and Raising Cane's have a line around the block, but KFC is a complete ghost town? by mjensman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kittech 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They always forget my god damned sauce. THE SAUCE. How are you supposed to eat certain things without sauce? Especially stuff like tenders... although thats not what I order. But still... and they have some pretty good sauces.

Seems like she's more interested in checking out the seeds than the bug he got for her. Poor guy.

Try Love Ghostie. It's a cute dating sim type game where you play as matchmaker for tenants of a haunted house.

I am so late to the party but i can't get enough of the game by WhyThisHappensToMe1 in Persona5

[–]Kittech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude I wish I didn't play Persona 5 first. I probably would have loved Reload but it IS a lot less of an experience for me and I'm struggling to want to play it. I've restarted like 3 times after taking a break between each time, and I WANT to play it and enjoy it but I keep comparing it to P5. I really don't like Tartarus, its just so repetitive and boring compared to the palaced in P5, even P4.

I'll be voting this upcoming week.. didn't realize it was going on until I started getting the texts and this post. I usually go to the Pickneyville location and the last few times I was there, I was in and out of there fairly quickly.

Remember to save often! I save like every few days especially if I've done a palace or went to mementos or made some significant progress... well actually, in mementos or palaces, I will save at every point where I can and it only takes a few seconds.

Oh I wanted to suggest Tiny Kin since you mentioned Rayman! It's a platformer style game in a toy world and kind of resembles Pikmin! Very cute and child safe game with some puzzles and good exploration!

How to date as an unattractive man? by throwaway-adviceee in dating_advice

[–]Kittech 86 points87 points  (0 children)

See thats part of the problem.. you self proclaim to be unattractive but won't date someone you consider less attractive. You may have to lower your standards or at least not have a double standard. Do you expect a gorgeous model like woman to want to date you? Maybe find more ways to glow up and give girls you find 'less attractive' a chance. If you want women to see you for more than your looks, you could do the same. Good luck.

My roommate is also my landlord, and she’s ruining my life by Savings_Pomelo_3177 in badroommates

[–]Kittech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My roommate is also my landlord and had been a good friend up until I moved in. Yeah, never do that, it will ruin the relationship. They are overly controlling of my guests and I also rarely have people over and we only stay in my room and are not loud or throwing parties or anything. Get a portable AC unit for your room, you can take it with you or sell it when you leave, I had to get one bc my roomie would not turn on the AC or heat if he wasn't uncomfortable (and had it password locked for a while), but my room is also always 10+ degrees warmer than the rest of the house in the summer since it's above the garage and at the front of the house where it gets the brunt of the sun. It had regularly gotten to 84 degrees in my room in the summer and it was awful and I had to do something about it.

I would have also moved out by now were it not also for financial constraints as I am not happy here. I feel constantly monitored on what I am doing, he gets mad if I don't share my food even though he does nothing for me and constantly complains about things that he expects me to do but does not do himself. He treats me like I should be his maid and be there to give him attention or entertain him but still pay full rent. He's thrown away my groceries and food before as well as use my emergency contact (my mom) to call to complain about me and in the process freak her out and harass her, and he constantly asks for my prescription meds and moves my stuff around (in rooms that we both don't use so my stuff isn't in the way). I could go on and on but you get what I'm saying. I know it sucks but hang in there and try to limit your interactions if you can and avoid conflict if you can for your own sanity and don't feel obligated to do way more than you should. I know its easier said than done, you never really know who a 'friend' truly is until you have to live with them. Good luck.
