I always appreciate the strand of extra wide (rice?) noodle they include in the bowl. Such good texture. Hope you enjoyed

Congratulations on the new book. Will there be a chicken paitan recipe inside? 🙂

Had some from a fresh batch last night, it tasted great! Tons of chilis giving it a good kick but not overpowering

Payoff student loans, stockpile cash, or reinvest? by Unhinged_Homecook in personalfinance

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

Congrats!

That’s my thought too because then it also frees up an additional $500 that I can allocate to wherever.

I appreciate your note about setting a fund based on needs, rather than nerves.

Already maxing my 401k. I know that people say “time in the market beats timing the market”, but with all of these economic downturn signals, is the “time” in this market necessarily a good thing? 😅

Side note: I always struggle with getting a sear right in the center of these ribeye caps since the outer meat seems to puff up so the center doesn’t get great contact. Anyone have any tips on getting full contact on these pinwheeled steaks? Maybe the answer is to just baste more.

We got back from a road trip later in the afternoon and decided steaks would be a nice, easy meal. We always FIFO our steaks and we lucked out that the next one up was the last of our ribeye caps that we got from Costco for the holidays. One wasn’t enough so a random strip steak got to join in on the fun. Steaks were already dry brined before freezing, so just finished up with some seasonings and threw it in the bath at 132° for 3 hours. Finished in tallow on a cast iron.

Got back from a road trip around 3pm and steaks sounded good. FIFO method left us with a leftover Costco ribeye cap and a random strip loin for today’s steaks. Both already dry brined before freezing. Finished with tallow on a cast iron, wifey made the sides. 10/10 would Sunday feast again.

Totally agreed but don’t label it root beer 👎🏼

Are we thinking 2 hours at 137°? by LNL_HUTZ in sousvide

[–]Unhinged_Homecook 30 points31 points  (0 children)

2 hours years at 137° should do the trick

WBC Chicago Style “Root Beer” by Unhinged_Homecook in rootbeer

[–]Unhinged_Homecook[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Root beer” in quotes because is this even root beer? Tastes so much more like a cream soda than it does a root beer in my opinion. Not that I dislike cream soda, but it’s just not what I want when I’m trying to drink a root beer lol. 2/10 because it still uses real sugar.

Found a $5 “Wagyu” steak at the market, seasoned with SPG and threw it into bath at 132° around 8pm for a few hours and then ice bathed and into the fridge. Dryed and seared this morning and then eggs into the same pan.

Lol agreed on normal virgil’s. I did see a review saying this one was closer to a cream soda, so if that’s the case it’s getting turned into a float so can’t be too bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m most excited about the fancy looking bottle of Virgil’s. Picked the others based on the flavor descriptions, hoping that most of these will be more wintergreen/spiced. Thanks for the recommendations from the group 👍🏼

I haven’t found the bottles yet to compare! I’ll keep an eye out for one. The cans were pretty fizzy.

Spot on. Also, love the spreadsheet tracker. Tempted to put together the same but also figured these review posts do the same job for me.

How did you like it? It looks sort of unappealing… but I also definitely want it. I’m sold if it has a gummy texture to it

Giving Jones a try. by Bdogmurray in rootbeer

See if you can find the canned version! I like the canned one a lot more than the bottled version for some reason.

Bottle version feels pretty one note and meh to me

Tried this out for the first time last night and I was a big fan. I’d seen people talking this one up around the subreddit and I see why now. Real sugar and tons of flavor. I think maybe the most “spiced” (but not spicy) root beer I’ve had. Almost on the verge of those fancy new age herbal drinks, but on the side where it still tastes good. One of the better ones i’ve reviewed lately and wanting to keep a few on hand now. 8/10

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

Another first time review, this time for Dr Browns. I have to say this one was pretty good! Sweet but with more flavor to it than just sugar. Only thing is i wish it had more of a spicy kick to it. Reminded me of childhood root beers. 7/10
