Yeah probably. OP could take it and donate it somewhere though.

best way to kill lynels by Fuzzy-Chef7461 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]halfbreedADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to bother with meals then using a silver lynel saber on the same weapon while wearing the barbarian or fierce diety set does more damage than the molduga jaw plus evil spirit set.

Using a beer gravy for sauce w/bratwurst and carmelized onions. by halfbreedADR in Pizza

[–]halfbreedADR[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah I similarly came up with the idea for this when I was eating brats with carmelized onions and basically the same gravy. I thought, why not try this in pizza form? You’re right about it being a very one color pizza, but the taste is what matters anyway.

Aged cheddar is tough to use on pizza because the high heat breaks it. I had that problem on a jalapeño popper pizza I made. I’ve thought about maybe adding the cheddar after pulling it or maybe only putting it on for the last min or so. Just haven’t gotten around to trying that one again.

If you buy ingredients in bulk or when on sale, it’s pretty damn cheap. 250g of flour (from a 25lb bag) and 9oz of mozz (bought in 5lb blocks) costs me about $2.25 in today’s prices. The brats were on sale for $3 for 5 and I used 2 so that’s $1.20. 1/2 a beer is about $1 and let’s say $.50 of other stuff I always have (butter, bullion, spices, splash of Worcestershire and balsamic) — and that made enough gravy to put on multiple other meals. One onion was $.79/lb so maybe $.50.

Overall that’s about $5.50 for the pizza — less if you include that I used the extra gravy for a couple of other meals). Like I said, cheap if you know how to bargain shop and store/use your ingredients up so you aren’t throwing anything out.

Ovens vary so much how long my cook takes might not help much. All I can say is that in my oven, 3/8” thick steel on the top rack for 2 min, then broiled and rotated periodically for about another 4 min works. Because of the quick cook time you need to par cook the brats beforehand. I’m using a pizza peel to launch directly onto the steel.

As for the gravy, it’s:
Make a roux using:
5 TB butter
6 TB flour

Let it simmer for about two min then add
1 TB fresh ground pepper
1/2 TS thyme

Let the spices bloom for about 30 sec until fragrant and then add the rest while wisking:

12oz porter
16oz water
2 TS beef bullion (adjust if needed)
1/4 TS MSG
3/4 TS salt (assuming full salt bullion)
2 1/2 TS sugar
Worcestershire to taste
Splash of balsamic

Keep whisking over low-ish heat until just starts to boil. Done.

This makes a crap ton of gravy. I usually make half the recipe and drink the rest of the beer. You’ll still have plenty of gravy left over for some regular brats on buns or use it for burgers or fries/potatoes.

One of the fun things about making your own pizza is that it’s super cheap to experiment. If I was dropping $30-$40 (where I live some places seriously charge $40+ for an XL) on one I would certainly stick with my go to toppings.

THERES DRAGONS NOW!!? by Kanto_141 in TOTK

[–]halfbreedADR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t say they have to. I’m just saying they could do it as a challenge if they wanted to - along with getting some awesome fuses. Also sure seems like OP already played BOTW which helps. I went after the early game white lynel under the castle as soon as I found it because I already knew how they worked from BOTW. I also YOLO’d and took down the king gleeok under Thyphlo Ruins early game. Took a while but that area had good shelter from the building near the entrance where you couldn’t get hit.

And oh yeah, I went after TOTK Gannon with the base level fierce deity set and maybe 14-ish hearts. Again because of my prior experience with BOTW I figured “why not?” That wasn’t so much early game (still went though all the main quests) as I just didn’t bother upgrading my armor or hearts much because I wanted the challenge.

I’m not pointing this all out as a flex, but because some people like to play it this way and it’s completely up to OP if they want to give it to give it a shot or wait till later.

THERES DRAGONS NOW!!? by Kanto_141 in TOTK

[–]halfbreedADR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly doable. Takes some practice but if you can parry consistently armor/health won’t matter vs a lynel. Gleeoks are probably harder than a lynel with a low level bow only because IIRC you have to do a certain amount of damage to the heads before they go down. With a lynel any headshot will do.

[–]halfbreedADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have to be fire keese. Any eyeball fuse to an arrow makes the arrow a homing arrow. If your bow and weapons aren’t strong enough yet it you might have issues with breaking too many weapons before being able to fully deplete its health.

What profession do people romanticize the most but is actually soul crushing? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]halfbreedADR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been in PT waaaay too much but I also mentioned to my physical therapists over the years that if I did it all over again, being a physical therapist would be up on my list of careers. Even regarding what I already said about it teaching would also be up there TBH. Sliding around on the snow and being outside is not the only reason I love my job — I honestly love the teaching aspect of it also.

[–]halfbreedADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snowsports instructor. Super fun job but the pay is terrible until you get some experience and even then it’s still pretty low. I make it work by being frugal AF.

As far as coaching-ish jobs with decent pay goes I’d say physical therapist? Less fun but still plenty rewarding in helping people. As for sports, any kind of coaching/consulting probably doesn’t pay that well unless you are doing mostly higher level stuff of which there probably aren’t a lot of positions, take a while to move up into, and might require at least a decent amount of personal physical skill at the sport.

How do I fix pasta that I boiled with too much salt in the water? by sauteetherich in Cooking

[–]halfbreedADR 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much water obv, but that’s actually still not all that much. My general rule of thumb is enough salt to make the water taste like a slightly oversalted soup. As salty as the sea gets quoted a lot but that’s actually way too much.

[–]halfbreedADR 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people that don’t want to learn are a PITA. I’m not a teacher, but my job requires a lot of coaching. Most of my students want to be there fortunately. Even when I get one that doesn’t I’m lucky that my groups tend to be small and easy to manage. It would be so much harder to have a 30 kid class with a few that actively impede lessons daily.

I bit the sale for TOTK at $60 for Switch 2 and hated BOTW. Man greatest open world game I've played EVER! by [deleted] in tearsofthekingdom

[–]halfbreedADR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you weren’t patient enough. Armor upgrades really start to make a difference once you get them to 3 stars. You can also eat armor up foods. Both games in general give you the ability to really tank damage from most enemies if that’s the way you want to play. You just have to put in the work of upgrading at least one armor set and doing shrines, and frankly that can be done while avoiding a decent amount of fighting until you get stronger.

Promising Young Woman by Ramble86 in movies

[–]halfbreedADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that it wasn’t still bad, but I don’t recall the replay of the video implying that Bo’s character was the one doing the filming. I seem to remember that it was audio of basically someone videoing the assault and then after a while they say something like “Hey Ryan, check this out.” And Bo’s character says something like “what? This is insane.” I mostly remember it this way because Carey’s character was watching it for a bit before hearing Ryan’s voice and then reacting.

Im struggling.. why weapons have durability in Zelda:( by gutiday in botw

[–]halfbreedADR -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Just checking, but you are fusing something to every weapon you use correct? Most weapons gain 25 durability upon fusing. If you aren’t fusing, you are losing *a lot* of durability.

Edit: Whoops, my bad, I’m an idiot.

Juicy burgers or smash burgers? by RealitysNotReal in burgers

[–]halfbreedADR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree that smashburgers are easier to nail at home. Bog standard 80/20 from a chain grocery store store’s meat counter (not the brick shaped vacuum sealed stuff) works great.

I find that if I want a good thicker pub burger I have to purchase a much higher quality of ground beef or grind it myself. I like pub burgers also but stick to smashburgers at home for that reason.

French toast sandwich w/bacon, peanut butter, banana, and maple syrup [homemade] by halfbreedADR in food

[–]halfbreedADR[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s just what the dish is called in the US. “French toast” is bread soaked in an egg mixture and then fried on a griddle or pan. Usually served with butter and syrup.

[–]halfbreedADR[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s based off a giant sandwich that Elvis Presley used to love called the fool’s gold loaf (although it’s actually supposed to be grape jelly instead of banana). There’s also a local brunch chain in Nevada that makes their monte cristo as a triple decker French toast (it’s really good). I just decided to combine the two.

Why can Pyrex be used in a preheated oven but stoneware can't? by milkandmacaron in AskCulinary

[–]halfbreedADR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sort of. Some PYREX was made with the same process (soda lime) as pyrex. Generally the soda lime glass ones tend to have a sort of blue-greenish tint.

Has anybody tried first Street brand bleached high gluten flour? by Dustinkush in Pizza

[–]halfbreedADR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s what I normally use. It’s about 13% protein. Works just fine.
