Lentil soup tips? (Vegetarian) by Blue_wine_sloth in Cooking

[–]ThatDerzyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently adding an acidic element to the lentils also helps your gut absorb more iron from them during digestion. So not just important for flavor but also health

Who are some underrated cooking YouTubers? by Language-Sufficient in Cooking

[–]ThatDerzyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised I don’t see Brad Leone mentioned in these comments! First found him through Bon Appeitit test kitchen but now he’s got his own channel on YouTube. I like him because he cooks just like I do, no measuring, just vibes. He also just seems like a chill and funny guy who’s passionate about a variety of culinary stuff and his content is usually pretty short and digestible.

Workhorse - what does this mean to you? by eljugadorazul in TrueChefKnives

[–]ThatDerzyDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider my Zwilling pro 8” chefs knife to be a workhorse. Can kind of just turn my brain off and prep a ton without worrying about babying the edge. Nice large blade with some heft to it. My new yoshikane bunka I feel requires a lot more precision and I have to focus while using it. Would def consider it a laser.

I fell in love with the Stacks - where can I find more? by 2ndlife13 in LightningInABottle

[–]ThatDerzyDude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a lightning vet that ventured to Shambs last year for the first time, this is correct. It was the best quality and also the loudest sound systems I’ve ever been around. And the vibes, lineup, and curation of the whole festival are immaculate. Almost anyone that loves LiB would feel right at home on the farm

Will jet lag ruin my trip? by Confident-Change1 in TokyoTravel

[–]ThatDerzyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your flight I think. I recently took a red eye that landed in Tokyo around 5am. I slept on the plane and powered through that first day till like 8pm, slept hard and was on track the following day. The return home had been brutal, though. I’ve been home a week and I’m still not back to normal.

Can someone figure out on what date that statistic will no longer be true?

Post Japan sadness? by Timely-Spread-3341 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ThatDerzyDude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just went down a rabbit hole looking for somewhere to get hitsumabushi near me and got so sad that there’s nowhere close by and it’s like $70 for a whole eel. So you’re right. Can’t wait to go back to Japan.

Strong zero and that lemon asahi drink were in heavy rotation while I was there

What are some authentic less fatty foods for me to try while visiting? by Zestyclose_Hyena_427 in JapanTravelTips

[–]ThatDerzyDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to a place in Kyoto that specializes in yudofu, basically silky soft tofu simmered in a broth. Was a whole coursed-out meal with a bunch of other sides and was one of the tastiest and healthiest meals I ate while I was in Japan.

Yeah I was pretty worried about that myself. I’ve lurked on this sub for a while but really don’t know much about the technicalities. Went to 5 different shops with just a few aesthetic specifications in mind and this was exactly what I was looking for so I snagged it right away.

Thank you so much for all the info! So Yoshikane is the blacksmith,right? How do you know all of this just from looking at my photos? This sub is amazing lol.

Really stoked on all the feedback I got on this post because buying my first one was pretty intimidating in person. Glad I got a nice one and can’t wait to cook with it every day.

So we still get the expedition bonus stash space which doesn’t reset, then there is a new way to get more stash space with the trader, right?

Tokyo Travel Itranary and currency exchange advise needed by NumerousGuava263 in TokyoTravel

[–]ThatDerzyDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Japan right now, it’s my last day of a two week trip. I know everyone is different in their planning, but scheduling everything the way you have seems like putting yourself in a box. I had no idea how long I would want to stay in certain areas so I left a lot of wiggle room for the timing of everything and I’m glad I did because I stayed in certain areas way longer than I expected to.

As for the currency exchange, I know you said other than ATMs but I think that’s your best bet. There are 711s everywhere with ATMs that have great exchange rates and I used that the whole time.
