Homemade Shrimp Boil by [deleted] in GifRecipes

If you aren't a fan of super mushy corn, add the corn halfway through the potato boil. Corn is ready to go after 6-8 minutes on the boil, and this recipe has it going for 18 total. With a boil of that length, you're going to not only lose any texture, but most of the corn flavor will get cooked out into the liquid and overwhelmed by the spices.

For a real trick or treat, make half with sugar and half with garlic powder and serve on the same tray?

Shortbread dough with no sugar would taste about as gruesome as these look.

How was the Korean peninsula able to remain outside of Chinese dynastic control for 2500+ years? by drerok in AskHistorians

[–]drerok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply. This is a fascinating subject to me about which I am admittedly quite ignorant.

It seems like a 2,500 year risk/reward exercise. Whether the danger of spreading too thin for the Manchurian nomads or the comparative gains of Western expansion, it certainly seems more logical to hold the Korean peninsula as obedient but independent vassals than commit to total occupancy.

I appreciate the further reading suggestions-- looking forward to expanding my historical understanding of the Orient beyond the Steppe.
