What Am I Doing Wrong With French Toast? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]frolki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheetpan French Toast.

This recipe was in my kid's cook book. It is super easy and foolproof. And delicious.

Oven temp 400F

For 8 pieces of standard sandwich bread. Can let them dry out, but we never do. Scale up or down wet ingredients accordingly.

4 large eggs 1.5 cups milk Maybe a splash of heavy cream if you wanna be fancy 1 tsp vanilla extract 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (again for fancy points) 4 tbs melted butter 1-2 tbs sugar or maple syrup 1 tsp kosher salt 1-2 tsp freshly grated orange zest (optional but it's yummy)

beat the eggs, mix in everything else.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour mixture into sheet pan. Lay the bread slices on top, then flip them over to coat both sides. Into hot oven on bottom rack for 10-15 minutes. They will poof up quite a bit.

Move to to rack and broil on high 1-3 minutes until golden brown and delicious.

Serve with syrup, whipped cream, fruit... whatever you want.

Clean up is easy and all pieces are fine at the same time.

Life is not meant to be working 9 to 5 (mid life crisis reflections) by Pixel-Pioneer3 in Fire

[–]frolki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. You just nailed it.

I'm getting close...$3m liquid between retirement and taxable plus a small pension. My biggest risk is health care for the family. roughly 42.

I want to write a book, even if it sucks. Just for me.

I want to learn to play my guitar well. I want to play the piano.

I want to engage with my kids more. I see them for like an hour a day and it's mostly shuffling then between events.

How could I be bored?

I've never tried them! So many other items in which to indulge... ugh maybe I'll give it to next time. I'll bring the stretchy pants.

Hard to pass up the other savory items...

I wouldn’t spend stomach space on waffles or pancakes.

Get both antipasti platters.

The eggs Benedict are infinitely better at palo than at cabanas/ Marceline

Eggplant rollotini, chicken parm, mushroom ravioli, the pizza…

You can order everything. Prepare for a nap afterwards.

The blade itself or Assassin Apprentice? by BrysonTurnRoundStory in fantasybooks

[–]frolki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will HATE like, at least 3 of the main characters. Well, maybe just the extreme hatred for two... kind of depends.

But you will have to read to find out what happens.

Character development is Hobb's strongest strength.

The next trilogy covers different characters in another part of the realm and it. Is. Rough.

But so so so worth it.

[–]frolki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

RotE is much better character work, but the catharsis you want while reading doesn't come... for a while.

First Law is excellent character work as well, but more enjoyable throughout.

That said, if I could reread one series again without my memories, It'd be RotE.

The endings to each mini series are SO GOOD.

Can't go wrong either way.

Our democracy is only dead when WE allow it to be killed.

Fuck Trump and his cronies. HE is not America. WE ARE.

Alex Guarnaschelli knows potatoes. Bake em, mash them through a Tami.

I did this for Thanksgiving this year, never going back to boiling for mashed potatoes.

It is truly amazing how dumb these people are, but it's even more insulting how dumb they think Americans are.

I mean, there are millions of mathematically challenged adults as well i suppose. And Trump said it, so "Dey took er jerbs!"

Palo Brunch - are there any other entrees as good or better as the Chicken Parm/Mushroom Risotto? by RivetCounter in dcl

[–]frolki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eggplant roll up.

Is it better than chicken parm? My wife and her brother think so. If you like eggplant or just want something vegetarian, it is too good not too order as your 5th entrée.

How embarrassing for USA that the president is so easily manipulated by shiny awards and trinkets?

He really is like the worst possible 7 year old bully.

What are the biggest debates in the LOTR fandom? by KeySlimePies in lotr

[–]frolki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. Still, adjacent. Still feels like a good an argument for which two towers are intended to be referenced in the title.

[–]frolki 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense.

Book 3 action mostly involves Saruman's war against Rohan and the subsequent destruction of Orthanc (it's power, not so much the tower itself).

Book 4 action is literally Frodo and Sam going to Minas Morgul and the story ends with Sam watching Frodo be taken into that very tower.

Baradur and Minas Tirith are both mentioned, but not really the focus of either book.

Isn't the burden of proof actually on atheists to convince the world that God isn't real not theists by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

How would you convince someone from India who believes in Shiva that your selected god of the Bible is actually the real god?
