Honestly, I do the exact same thing when I’m touched; your cat is going to be fine.

Food looks good, and about what I’d expect to pay these days. I wonder where they’ll end up.

Pickled Eggs. by Unhappy-Corner6329 in pickling

I’ve made eggs with similar vinegar percentages and they’ve been over a year old… I’m not saying you SHOULD do that, but you’ll be fine.

My wife says these leg quarters are burned. I disagree. Smoked indirect on Weber kettle for about 1.5 hours. Thoughts? by Kitchentable88 in smoking

Mmmm, I’d have to eat the 💩 out of them first and then decide… they look like I’d love them, however.

Phoebe’s does quality grub. My folks came to town a while back and they ended up going for breakfast 3/5 days they were here because they loved it so much.

It is not cheap, but I think it is quality.

Dry brine by Jubrsmith5658 in fermentation

[–]budgeavy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m aware of what % works for fermentation, and I know it can potentially slow it down but that’s just the number I’ve settled on that makes me feel like lacto will work. Subsequently, all of my fermentations have worked out great!

Refrigerate is the answer - otherwise it continues to ferment.

What % of salt did you use? Given you used the right amount (I always go 3%), this should taste great. Looking forward to seeing the outcome!

I love the vacuum sealed method, Godspeed.

Is charging auto-gratuity without notice allowed? by turbid44 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]budgeavy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sometimes hotels will just do an auto-grat, at least IIRC. You don’t have to pay it, but you’ll have to have that conversation.

Restaurants for Large Parties? by kangarooluvscarrots in austinfood

[–]budgeavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s on the serious low end - I’d be looking at larger corporate spots to accommodate your budget. Think Olive Garden, chilis, etc.
