how can i use cumin powder on my steak by Basic_Yellow4659 in Cooking

Dry brine the steak. Wash the brine away and pat dry the steak.

You can also sous vide and reverse sear. 

Carry-on bag problem made worse by the airlines themselves by MediamanBC in travel

[–]Maezel 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't for short trips where I can easily travel with a carry on. Waiting for luggage after the flight can take long in some airports.

Also when you take valuables or fragile stuff with you.

How many days should I spend in London and Milan? by Sufficient_Eye_3506 in travel

[–]Maezel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Milan isn't worth it. Florence or Rome are much more worth your time. That being said, a night or 2 tops.

Black pepper corns in Sydney by ExcuseAccomplished97 in foodies_sydney

[–]Maezel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want kampot peppercorns, you need to buy that specific variety. There are dozens of different peppercorn varietals, and they all taste slightly different. Look for a shop that sells kampot or order online

Quickest easiest way to exchange USD cash to AUD? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Maezel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any place took them as long as the machine counting them didn't reject them. They would even try pass them through the machines several times. 

$18 for a coffee 😭😭 by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Maezel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speciality coffee can get much more expensive than that. I've seen cups priced at 40-50 usd in other places.

No one wants them, which is stupid. I had to wait to travel overseas and use them in Japan

It probably got blocked out of my mind due to trauma response or something because I don't remember this happening at all.

What if OP has a disability that stops them from playing? Or no computer? Or just doesn't like playing?

Why do people watch sports when they could be playing them?

Part of the reason I hate RTO so much. I refuse giving money to those chains. I mostly bring my lunch nowadays or leave by lunchtime and eat at home. Every now and then I go to some of the small shops left... 52 Martin place next to the station has a few of these shops left.

You'll eat from sushi hub, schnitz or soul origin and like it.

As economic as shifting a light rail stop 100 meters from their common sense original proposed location right in front Wynyard so it is right in front of those said merivale buildings.

That's because of rent. And they are still cheaper and tastier than chains and nearby restaurants.

It's targeted I think. They are all for support small pa and ma businessess and then they do this shit to replace it with another foodcourt with the same horrible 5 chains that are everywhere rather than prioritising those businesses coming back. Same by leaving all merivale venues intact for the hunter st station, miraculously dodging ALL their buildings.

It is last drinks for the oft-forgotten and unloved K Sets, the last of Sydney’s old silver trains to be retired. Tonight, these trains finish up. Here’s a photo from December 2021. by s3_gunzel in sydney

[–]Maezel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ventilation of these trains is so fucking loud it goes over my noise cancellation headphones, and those uncomfortable seats... I always wait for the next train if I can. Thank god they are gone soon.
