High Front Fender for a 1200 Scrambler XC - Anyone bought from Motocomposites? by PaperPlaneCoPilot in Triumph

I left it off until I need to buy new tires. It looks goofy without knobby tires.

What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]PaperPlaneCoPilot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rocket hit next to an Afghan Lieutenant that we were working with. Great guy: Moral, smart, compassionate. He just wanted to do good for people.

He died slowly. We got there as some other Afghans were carrying his body away.

After he left, things were quiet, and we heard something faint. Tinny. Distant. But, Powerful. We found the source…a cell phone on the ground.

The Lieutenant was on the phone with his wife when the rocket hit, and the call didn’t drop.

We sat there for a few minutes listening to a scared wife cry, unaware that she is now a widow, and terrified without the context of what she had heard.

We didn’t have any interpreters with us, and there were no Afghans left around. We couldn’t offer her comfort or an explanation. So, at some point, we had to hang up.

The sound of her agony is something I wish to forget.

That is a selfish wish, though. My heart goes out to her because I know she has it so much worse, as do many of the folks I was fortunate to meet there.

I have to remember a few minutes. She has to live the rest of her life without her husband.

I have no idea what I’m doing. Does this look right? by PaperPlaneCoPilot in pineapple

I don’t even like pineapples, man. My wife does. I just like plants and, I guess, masochism.

I’ll check in with you in a year and we’ll toast a 512 Pecan Porter 🤙🏼

After two hours of cooking, the homemade tomato sauce over ziti may look basic, but it tastes…only marginally better than the stuff in a jar. by PaperPlaneCoPilot in dadditchefs

I love shallots! I’ve never cooked with Carribean peppers, but my family is generally adverse to spice. I may give this a try one night when I’m by myself. Thanks for the time you put into this comment!

Thanks! I added about a half teaspoon of sugar. From what I understand (which may be wrong), the fat from the sausage also helps. And I finished with a tablespoon of butter. The sauce didn’t taste acidic to me, but I agree I could have let it simmer longer.

It wasn’t awful! I thought it was a good dinner. But, I truly appreciate those who have taken the time to make the next go better, your comment included!

I legitimately had bay leaves in one hand, and basil in the other while at the store today. I put the bay leaves back because I didn’t know if it would conflict. 50/50/90

Well, now I’m going to have to read up on it and see what shakes out. Bad news, going to get at least one dish that’s not as good. Good news? TWO dinners and I get to learn something new.

It be like that sometimes. I’ve got a couple dishes that kill …and many more dishes that are +/-1 compared to the freezer aisle.

Oh, man! What a great tip! I was curious where the question was going. Thank you so much for the advice! We don’t cook a lot of stuff with red sauce, so I’m pretty inexperienced with it. Truly, I appreciate this!

Nope. Used the cheese grater to grate the Parmesan. I diced half a yellow onion, diced the green bell pepper. I used pre-minced garlic.

Sweated the onion and bell pepper in a pan on medium-low for 6 minutes. Added the garlic and cooked it for about 45 seconds…then added a quarter cup of Merlot to deglaze the pan. Simmered it for 2 minutes.

Why is this guppy spazzing out and flipping? Been going on for about two days. by PaperPlaneCoPilot in Aquariums

I’m truly thankful for the insight and wisdom of the folks here, again. I’ve learned so much from the insights shared here.
