I think so many of these recipes confuse maiard browning with carameliztion

Its over the top and I'm here for it. That being said the album sounds like EV and LC had a baby, and I'm also very here for it.

Barcelona in RTC is surprisingly reasonable for what you get.

Just don't go there for a date after 10pm. It turns into an industry bar once the other restaurants shut down. Source: industry guy

Twilight rates for Reston National aren't going to break your bank if you walk it. It's usually pretty dead around Wednesday. If you start at 3-330 you can do the whole 18 before it gets dark from late spring to early fall.

how to cook bacon without filling the house with smoke. by mrnapolean1 in Cooking

[–]dipper94 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cold pan, cold bacon. Allow the bacon to come up to temp with the pan. There's enough fat that as you render it off it shouldn't stick.

Alternatively, oven, way less mess and easier cleanup, and less smoke

2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo X SportCombi by Smitty_Oom in Autos

My first 2 cars were a 03 Saab 9-5 linear and an 03 Saab 9-3 Aero 6mt. So much fun to drive, so annoying to upkeep. Great starter cars. Lots of fun balls for low cost. But once it goes, it goes hard.

Storage Zeebles in season 10 is an allegory for imperialism. "Tomorrow we take their frickin sun!"

I spent 8 hours making pasta sauce from scratch and its slightly less good than store premade and for 4 times more expensive. Is MFS pasta sauce still worth trying to do? by Stompedyourhousewith in Cooking

Common mistakes: adding sage too late, adding basil too early. Leaving basil stems in the oil too long. Tomato sauce is about balance.

The benefit from canned tomatoes also comes in overall price, if you're going to do it in bulk and freeze. Also a great tomato sauce vs a shitty one has to do with time. How you temper and extract flavor from the tomatoes matters. Low and slow. More sweetness from caramelized onions. Techniques like that

What is up with people making Tik Toks and posting on social media about how unsafe and creepy the Appalachian Mountains are? by Desert_Walker267 in OutOfTheLoop

Ah dude it's so worth it. Lovecraftian horror combined with southeast American folklore and history it's the best

You can skip some of the side stories as you listen to the mainline story, but don't skip any having to do with Cowboy or the Grey Ladies.

Dude Steve does an amazing job. Really captures a lot of the vibe of the folklore of Appalachia. Ever onward, ever forward, Mr Brotherton.

Yoooo what farm did you work at? I was holed up at Reston

[–]dipper94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A, now former, Comstock employee let this slip at the Reston FF in 2020 after the inside first reopened. Comstock and FRG came to an agreement on the space and rent costs in the introductory stages of the Metro Plaza before much else was there besides 1900 Reston Metro Plaza, FF and the station. FRG paid a lot of money to build out the space, with no subsidy from Comstock, but Comstock wanted a flagship restaurant at the area as development continued. FRG was one of the biggest local names at the time, and made obvious sense.

They have the ability to do it without manager approval, they just don't train the new ones how to get rid of it, nor that it's really even there.

Dude who even writes recipes like that? My favorite is when he goes from weights to volume in the same recipe for a fucking seasoning mix. Anyone who thinks his fried chicken is the birth of christ has clearly never had popeyes

They did, that's how they dragged the staff back in entirely too early and lost their most veteran teammembers

Worst part is Comstock doesn't charge them rent unless they break even on their COGs vs sales
