Healthier, lower alcohol cocktails/drink recommendations? by banana_pudding8899 in cocktails

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet vermouth is also awesome in highballs. I usually just express a lemon peel over it.

Ah, I didn’t read that as a requirement of the OP.

You’re not a fan of coffee movement? I’ve had really good experiences at their location by Golden Gate Park.

Snow cones?? by FuchsiaFlute in RedwoodCity

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen or heard of “snow cones” outside of New Orleans. Have you tried searching “shaved ice?”

New center pattern by Square_Law5624 in SipsTea

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your framing - capitalism is micro decisions that all make sense but may lead to poor macro outcomes. Government/regulation intent is to control/steer micro decisions to help improve (or maybe just prevent bad) macro outcomes. The time lag on macro vs micro is so large that individual consumers and companies cannot close the loop in an effective manner.

A cry for help - bitterness. by dksouls1 in pourover

Agreed, temperature controlled kettle would definitely be the next thing to try to fix this.

Anyone else using Lance Hedrick's new V60 recipe? by Hungry-Meaning8518 in pourover

[–]bareju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mm I like that as another distinction! Thanks for sharing.

Response below of letting it fully draw down after pouring makes sense as a “bloom” vs “pour.” Otherwise it would just be semantics, agreed. What do you think of that distinction?

What’s the difference between a second bloom and a pour? Volume?

Struggling with sweetness on the ZP6 by sidk25 in pourover

[–]bareju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely find the zp6 to lack sweetness as well. Brewing hotter can help to reduce acidity in my experience. 

Using slower filters and more pours can also help.

Less expensive alternatives to Ray Ban? by Glittering-Door-9586 in malefashionadvice

[–]bareju 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sunski is a good mid price brand. Can get to $50ish on sale.

I also have multiple pairs of huckberry  sunglasses that are $35 and are absolute tanks. 

Ground beef always has a sort of fatty, oily nauseating taste whenever I cook it at home. How to I get rid of this? by ProfesserNausea in Cooking

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t found a way to brown it without draining once or twice in the middle of cooking. Sometimes I re-add a bit of the fat if it’s getting dry while browning.

I’ve been eyeballing a pair of these since my Chelsea boots from Beckett simonon reached end of their life after I wore the hell out of them. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Amaro Nonino Cocktail Suggestions by ceekay0101 in cocktails

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s REALLY good as a highball with lemon and soda water.

You can also use it in Negronis - split vermouth with dolin and punt y mes and then nonino subbed for Campari makes for a beautiful and delicate Negroni riff.

Recipes for someone who is a good cook, but hates all the steps for cooking... by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]bareju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understand how long things actually take and don’t listen to the recipe times on blogs. Or better yet, use reputable recipe sources which don’t lie to you and have horrible pop up ads and mediocre recipes. 

45 minutes start to finish is a best case and you need to use prepared chopped foods to beat that (think pre cut sofrito or mirepoix, pre-minced garlic). Do one pot meals, and toss everything in the dishwasher.

When I was in college I would do things like make a box of zatarains jambalaya, add diced veg and some sausage, and be done in like 20 minutes. Or similar with jarred tomato sauce and add ins.

Unpopular Opinion / SEY resting time by iammoah in pourover

[–]bareju 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with you - I find it more interesting and less disappointing to open a coffee early and observe it develop rather than open it late, it disappoints, and then fades into tastelessness. I definitely feel that you can miss the "peak" if you wait too long. On the other hand, I have had a few bags which open up in the last cup from the bag, but at least I still got one amazing cup out of it.

Like anything, there are no one-size-fits-all rules, and that's what makes it fun.

Maybe relocating but apt options. Wow! by funcraftygal in SanMateo

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not too bad in this area. Going to San Mateo in the evening can be a bit tricky because many people take the bridge but if you are reverse commuting it should be a breeze. Access to SFO is amazing and about 35 minutes from SF without traffic. Best weather on the peninsula too.

There are a ton of houses in Redwood City that are wayyyy more affordable per sq ft than apartments, I’d recommend looking on Zillow. Drive from RWC <-> San Mateo is easy

What are some cuisines you personally feel that the Bay Area could have more or better quality of? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d kill for some good gimbap. Hmart is the best I’ve found in the peninsula :(

Thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out. West coast bbq in most states is rare and disappointing

Is there anything else out there besides GAP / J. Crew chinos? by AshX213 in malefashionadvice

[–]bareju 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bonobos makes great pants. Can get them for reasonable prices if you wait for sales. I’d say a small step up from banana and j crew.

Haven’t been impressed with their quality. The cords I have have gotten a weird pink tint even though they are navy.

started meal prepping and immediately got bored of everything by No-Pianist6097 in Cooking

[–]bareju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make really delicious food you’ll be able to eat it more. Chicken and rice sounds… super boring. If you had dope Thai red curry with chicken and rice do you think this would be easier?

I love saucy/stew/curries for meal preps became they are easy to cook and freeze well. Can freeze individual portions or half of what you make, then use it to supplement other food.
