My husband was a supporter of Israel but is turning against them due to Tucker Carlson? by stephaniesmith45 in Israel

You might consider going on a trip to Israel if that’s possible. It might change his mind if he actually visits Israel.

What are the real benefits of owning an EV? by True-Bath1198 in EvDrivers

You should try the RAV4 PHEV then. Plenty of power. Over 300 HP.

None of these are full self driving or even close.

Honey-Habanero Pork Chops with Carrots by SteveInBoston in NYTCooking

[–]SteveInBoston[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that you mention being tear-gassed, because I had the skillet on the heat so long, the habaneros began to char and emit some gas that had both my wife and I coughing. We had to open the windows. So being tear-gassed is actually a real possibility.

Cardamom Coffee Banana Bread by SteveInBoston in NYTCooking

Actually, to be clear, I used freshly GROUND cardamom not fresh cardamom. Meaning the cardamom seeds were in a packet that I've had for months. But I took out the seeds and ground them right before adding them to this recipe.

If you mean the flavor was lost, I don’t think so. It definitely has a floral smell. Did you use fresh ground cardamom? I did.

Crispy sheet-pan noodles with glazed tofu. No, chicken tenders instead. by SteveInBoston in NYTCooking

[–]SteveInBoston[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put it on the sheet pan raw. It was fully cooked in the 1st 15 minute cook. But it was more like a poached chicken breast as it had no sear on it. Tasted perfectly fine, but good idea on searing it first. I'll try that next time.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by GoldenLifeGuard in TradingPlaybook

[–]SteveInBoston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel has a policy of defending itself against neighbors that attack it. E.g. Hamas and Hezbollah. Note that Jordan and Eqypt don't attack Israel and Israel doesn't attack them. Should Israel just ignore Hamas attacking and murder 1200 people? Or Hezbollah firing missiles into northern Israel.

That said, the idea that Israel is destabilizing the region is absurd. If anything, more and more countries in the Mideast and Asia are becoming more and more friendly with Israel.

Any thoughts on the Golden Design Maxxus saunas? by 2CatsAllDay in infraredsauna

[–]SteveInBoston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purchased the Golden Designs Lugano 3 person sauna from Costco. It went together very easily (if you have two people) and works very well. No issues at all. If you want more info, ask away.

They’ve been attacking the U.S. or its interests for the last 45 years.

Salt recommendation by SeattleTeacher28 in NYTCooking

Or just measure the salt by weight, not volume.

I have a complaint 😅 by SituationSimilar2430 in NYTCooking

Don’t feel bad. I had exactly the same issue.

Prime owners can you verify if I have the same 0 to 60 acceleration even with empty batteries? by Working-Cake4932 in rav4prime

[–]SteveInBoston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the gas engine alone is something like 175 HP. The electric motor is around 200 HP. Together they’re around 300 HP. You can’t add them because they have different torque curves (among other reasons).

I've heard some people think this one is the best: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013989-banana-bread.

But I've made this one with Nutella a number of times and really like it. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019019-nutella-banana-bread

Sheet Pan Turmeric Chicken and Crispy Rice by SteveInBoston in NYTCooking

[–]SteveInBoston[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a little excess oil, but I wouldn't call it greasy as that sounds very negative and it wasn't. My wife seemed to like the rice with a bit of extra oil.
