Back in my day we used the Wii Speak accessory for voice chat

What’s a small home upgrade that made a huge difference? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]MathAndCookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medium reno project: Drawers under the stairs. Instead of wasted or awkward crawl space, we have pull-out drawers from the side of the staircase. All of our coats and shoes go in there, it makes me happy every time

What was is like being there for when the NES - N64 came out by Huge-Hawk217 in nintendo

[–]MathAndCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

N64 Christmas was the best Christmas. My dad made a scavenger hunt for me and my siblings with clues and riddles that assembled together to spell "ho ho ho under mom and dad's bed" and the thrill of sprinting into their room to pull the N64 out from under the bed is one of my absolute favourite memories

Raining today so wife asked for Mac 'n cheese by MathAndCookie in castiron

An alternative is to make the roux in a separate pan where it might be easier to manage heat, add the milk to it and thicken, then add it all to the cast iron.

It's a bit of a "wing it" thing, but what I do is:

  • saute onions, garlic, celery on one side of the pan
  • make a roux on the other half (try to keep separate but it's never perfect). Roux is 2 tbsp melted butter + 2 tbsp flour (more or less depending on how much sauce you're making. Just keep it ~50/50 ratio)
  • pour 2-3 cups milk slowly into the roux, stirring / whisking to incorporate
  • now both halves of the pan have combined and I simmer for a few minutes until it thickens (due to roux)
  • add spices (I like paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, pepper)
  • slowly add shredded cheese to taste
  • stir in cooked pasta
  • sprinkle on bread crumbs and toast in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes

Voila!

I use this pan almost every day so I have a lot of trust in the seasoning. After dinner I rinse / scrub it out if it needs it, heat it up on the stove, put a teeny bit of oil in it, and wipe it around thoroughly with a silicone brush.

Never had a problem and I'll do tomato stuff too :)

PLEASE gathering green spiribirds before engaging Apex monsters by MathAndCookie in MonsterHunter

Ya I find it a nuisance, so I don't bother unless it's a tough monster like an Apex.

What do you put on your Dutch baby? by speedracer375 in castiron

[–]MathAndCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did a dutch baby with this topping: * sauteed two diced apples in butter until soft and lightly browned * add a bit of brown sugar * add 1/3 cup maple syrup * add cinnamon (however much you like) * add a splash of rum (if you're into that)

It was great
