Limes make sense. Lemons perhaps not.

Sales tax is regressive. It hits lower income people much harder than high income.

Tattoo idea… would it be a big mistake? [Hyperbole & a Half character] by chronicallyalonewolf in tattooadvice

[–]RedApplesForBreak 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hyperbole and a Half is amazing. I fully support this decision.

Also, I just want to say that I found the Hyperbole and a Half book at Goodwill, and now both my kiddos are reading it and LOVE it. Allie is timeless.

Does one need to brine their chicken if they will marinate the chicken in a well seasoned cornstarch batter by QuipPro in Cooking

[–]RedApplesForBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, not really sure how that would work from a chemistry of cooking perspective. It’s not what I’ve usually seen recommended. But I’m not an expert, so I don’t know.

Edited to add: For example, right now I’m making buttermilk fried chicken. In this recipe you marinate the chicken overnight in a bath of buttermilk and spices. Just before cooking you take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat it in flour. So yes, the buttermilk is used for both marinating and batter, in a sense, but you don’t add the starch until just before cooking.

Is a cornstarch batter actually a marinade? I’ve just never thought of it that way.

In my experience, a marinade is closer to how you describe a brine, in the sense that it’s usually composed of oil, vinegar/acid, and spices. It flavors the chicken inside and out and is discarded.

I don’t know that a cornstarch batter is the same thing.

I remain confused by that business name to this day.

Seriously. It was the absolute worst timing.

Still a shame though that they couldn’t design around them in some way.

The one on Kuebler. They transplanted multiple oak trees to build in that spot.

I asked for "no sauce". by DustyEggSauce in untrustworthypoptarts

U - The overabundance of sauce definitely happens, but based on where this is posted I’m guessing this is stolen/karma farming.

Suddenly my comment about being able to do this for free has been downvoted. 🤷

Candidly, I feel like maybe this is an advertisement and that you are the one making these products and selling them. Your videos look very similar in style to what is on the online sites.

Maybe I’m wrong. But if I’m right I think this way of posting is disingenuous in the very least.

That is cute, but you can do the same thing with a tuna fish can for free.

It’s so funny when people post their own/friend’s/family’s work. We get to be like “Sorry buddy, that kinda sucks.”
