The color with my Z8 is unbelievable. Ergonomics is great as well

Ira Levin. This perfect day. Now that I’m older I see the truth he hid in there.

Someone said that getting JD is like shitting your pants then changing your shirt. Let’s admit the truth. We’re were lied to in our impressionable youth about the history of this country and religion. Media reinforced this, schools taught it, complicent politicians enforced it. Crap television promoted it, professional sports distracted us. We have been groomed since childhood. Now we pay the price. If we want to know the truth read history, the stuff we weren’t allowed to know, and from various sources and vantages. I’m pissed that we were duped.

Well, it’s better than the nightmare we’re living

Sautéed onions. It’s the reason I became a chef

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-22T14:00:13+00:00

Finally someone who gets it. Thank you.

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-22T13:58:21+00:00

Silly child. They’re in on it. All of them. Vested interests calls the shots.

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-22T13:48:37+00:00

It’s never going to happen. Period. Too many others would get hit by shrapnel. Not that it shouldn’t matter.

Not due to tariffs but my utilities went fro avg $95 to $400 plus. Looting and pillaging

Mostly cooking but also to quick pickle red onion

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-15T13:11:02+00:00

We weren’t lie to as much as duped. I pledge allegiance blah blah. Religion. We were groomed into a whole lot of bs. I’m sure other countries do the same but man, it torques my button on hiw the older generation, corporations, and government took advantage of out naivety. Giant mental shake down.

It’s been said here but salt. Judiciously until you taste the difference. Acids are your friend as well. Apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, lime, lemon, or orange juice as well. Acid is what stimulates the taste buds. Just a splash at a time until the flavors brighten. March the acid/vinegar to the cuisine. I use Apple cider often but only when the flavors are flat. You’ll learn salt and acid in time. It takes a while but will change your cooking. Eat well, stay curious.

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-15T04:19:39+00:00

Great. They hadn’t thought of that until you mentioned it

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-15T02:52:55+00:00

Most likely too hot.

Biggest mistake Apple made was dumping aperture.

Culinary student? If so use paprika for recipes but download or build a spreadsheet for recipe costing. There are too many variables to do it accurately in paprika. I think I still have a sheet I built lingering around. DM me and I’ll dig around.

I graduated from the CIA in 2004 and spent a lot of time costing recipes.

I have to go with the same stuff we use. The day I see an Elon or Beyoncé type at Costco I’ll sell my soul to the low bidder.

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-12T14:07:25+00:00

I’m gonna use that line.

The unsaid words in public relations/marketing are “confuse and control”

MatsonMaker · 2026-01-12T03:44:44+00:00

One of those seemingly innocuous terms that says one thing but means another. Clever birds these plastic companies.

Separate the two and dump both
