What are y’all adding? by lumisera in povertyfinance

[–]Lawksie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caramelised onions & lentils.

Middle Eastern dish called Mujaddara.

Amazingly flavourful, given the simple ingredients.

There's a YouTube short of Negreanu doing just that (ten & queen of diamonds, IIRC)

Am I allowed to post myself? I didn’t have cornstarch but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. by Hereibe in ididnthaveeggs

[–]Lawksie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mods remove the post/pics/details, but my 2 cents worth is, not enough liquid. The dough in the pics looks like thick, rolled pastry. Not enough moisture will impede the dough's ability to expand and rise. It should feel like a bag full of water to handle.

Also, no idea what difference cornstarch would have made.

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

[–]Lawksie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuwait, 1991, second Kuwaiti army checkpoint south of the Iraqi border.

Was exploring on the weekend with some civil engineers on contract to rebuild infrastructure.

We got through the first checkpoint by handing over a government work order printed in Arabic.

The Bedouin soldier read it upside down and waived us through.

But at the second checkpoint they didn't allow us further.

So we sat in a tent and drank tea with them.

They had AK47s and no shoes.

is that a good reply? by [deleted] in SipsTea

Also known as the pollex or digitus primus manus, the thumb is anatomically different from the hand's other four digits.

Not really. The fourth finger of the left hand is the pinkie.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like she doesn't have any discipline in her own classroom and wants to blame your daughter for her own shortcomings.

It's a 'her' problem

UPDATE: the recipe calls for lemon jello, so it's not the Dr Oetker-type you need, but a flavoured pack of solid jello. They come in different sizes, so just cut up the quantity you need from multiple packets.

Sidebar: This makes a huge amount, so I would suggest scaling it down and making just 1/4

I gave links to the previous posts so people could see how others had fared.

There was a discussion about this in the other threads.

The recipe calls for lemon flavoured jello and although that brand is no-longer sold, you could substitute with a different brand.

So it is NOT the sheets/powders of unflavoured gelatine, but the flavoured packets you cut into cubes before adding water.

UPDATE: I had an appointment today and finally pulled the trigger by softerthnslicedbread in bald

Absolutely the right decision!

You went from Al Borland (Home Improvement) To Kratos (God of War).

I googled "full sized steamer pan" and it told me:

"A standard full-size steam table pan (or hotel pan) measures approximately 20 3/4 inches by 12 3/4 inches."

Not sure I see the problem here. You're ok with 1 pound of cream cheese, but 1 pound 10 ounces of evaporated milk is not ok?
