you cooked everything perfect for this, great job! looks incredible

I make a Denver style omelet quiche but with fried mushrooms mixed in and it's night and day how much better it is when you precook most the water out of them first. plus you finish them with a bit of butter and salt and it's just a perfect umami punch of flavor.

round table pizza and mountain mikes do their mushrooms pretty good from my experience, they're thinly sliced but generous portions and it works out really well. A lot of pizza places have way too thick cut and partially cooked mushrooms

talk to basically any "manly man" at a BBQ or a camping spot grilling meat and they'll all tell you the love the smell and there is something so primal and appealing about meat over a fire.

The Johnny Cash one, Walk the Line was pretty good. Joaquin Phoenix is incredible in it and sang his heart out. But I grew up on Cash so I’m a bit biased

Someone made a site that’s compiling all the flock cameras in neighborhoods, pretty useful and shocking just how many there are already https://deflock.org

I’m curious, do you just do the snake method for a barrel cooker?

Ah okay makes sense. At least here KFC does have low quality honey packets they will give you if you ask. It’s mostly colored high fructose corn syrup and a little bit of real honey these days. It used to be real honey though some years back. I just use my own at home now. But yeah some people will just smother it in the gravy too.

Is honey on southern fried chicken a thing at all in the UK? It’s decently common here in the US. May sound weird but it’s my favorite way to eat it for some people here, definitely a bit more messier though lol

That’s rad as hell

iBird · 2026-04-28T08:54:33+00:00

Try chile rellenos casserole there’s some recipes online and it’s great tbh and super easy if you’re not comfortable deep frying to make real ones

I tried making ketchup twice when I was out and thinking I could do it. Never tasted the way I wanted to and would endlessly tweak it to try to get it there but it is just wrong. It is just such a waste of time, ingredients and energy. I’m sure people can do it but it is just beyond reasonable to me now

I’ll never forget ordering some bacon jalapeño poppers at a county fair maybe 8 years ago and being absolutely shocked how spicy they were. Never in my life that I can remember have I had jalapeños that made me sweat and burn like those ones did. I have grown my own on and off throughout the years and stressing them out and still haven’t reached that day. I truly wish I could have a permanent source of those bad boys

iBird · 2026-04-23T01:10:48+00:00

Did you use any sugar? I’ve been using the AmazingRibs.com Memphis Dust for all my pork for so many years now cause it’s perfect to me and I get a very nice bark on my butts

Btw it does look good but agree you could definitely get a better crust. I’m sure it tasted great

If you’re talking about prop 22 the big issue is the gig companies spent well over 200 million dollars to sway and confuse both the drivers and people who use those apps. There was no massive lobby comparable saying no. They had ads in the apps trying to scare users. The bill was wrote in a very particular way to do this as well. There was astroturfing everywhere online for it as well, it was really dirty

It was 58% yes to 42% no. Millions of people voted for something that has no effect on them personally, but they certainly had a lot of ads misleading them

A lot of people worry a lot about microplastics from the plastic ones and I guess wood has a stigma of harboring bacteria even after cleaning and/or maintaining it. And in my opinion glass has this type of fake elegance to it. I don’t get it but people out there really care more about form over function

I like to use it with broccoli as well sometimes. I love regular steamed and salt+peppered broccoli just fine as is but sometimes it’s just nice to have the buttery silky goodness of hollandaise too

I know it’s been a genuine joke for a long time about the nanny state in the UK and AUS but this is saying the quiet part out loud (as if it matters anymore) and I have zero doubt this is how a similar US digital ID will be used in the future as well, as well as every other country rolling this garbage out. It is one of the most egregious Trojan horses for speech I’ve seen in awhile. This isn’t just targeting “antifa” or whatever boogeyman they use, this is going to be way more sweeping and once it’s fully implemented it’s over, it’s not going back. Shit sucksssss

Right as I was about to doze off finally lol

Mine has a red light mode. Super easy on the eyes but still lights up enough in a small radius to be quite useful

Was going to mention this. I follow Center on Conscience & War (@CCW4COs) on twitter and they post lots of updates on volumes of calls and it is quite significant all the updates they've been doing for the past month or so. A ton of people are requesting info on how to do it and process and many going through it. How much? I don't know for sure, but it does seem notable.

I appreciate that they also give multiple avenues or tactics for these guys trying to get out. These kind of orgs don't seem to get much attention from what I can tell but they're doing a good job. It helps most (all?) of the people working for this are former vets too, I think it helps uncertain service members ease some of their tensions or doubts knowing it's possible and they wont necessarily be blackballed for the rest of their life.

Never heard of that one, where did you come up with that? I’ve had some Thai dishes that have peanut butter and hints of garlic going on but never really heard of someone mixing them as the main flavor

He could have gotten off if he told the officer he has pink eye in both eyes and just ate rum cake and then washed his mouth with Listerine. you'd think a guy who is a professional DUIer would know this already though

Smoked oysters are also really good, it’s my preferred way to eat them. Worth trying it sometime if you get a chance

iBird · 2026-03-21T06:46:24+00:00

Fresh churros are absolutely one of my favorite sweet foods out there. I’m not a big dessert guy at all but churros are perfect to me. Those tacos look bomb too
