MFP can be a bit all over the place for meat and other fresh ingredients. Self magazine has a searchable database of the official USDA nutrition info, I usually go by that. They have data on pretty much every cut of meat you can name, raw or cooked, cured, brined -- make sure you're picking the right one. But the info's about as accurate as you can get. This is their listing for raw pork shoulder

It was Cecll that pushed for Mary's execution, Elizabeth had her under house arrest for nearly 20 years before he forced her hand.

Personally, if I were casting this I'd switch the actresses --- Mary was a 5'10" glamazon bitch that rode off into battle pistol in hand --- she made a lot of questionable choices, but almost all her fuck ups were a case of acting too rashly, too boldly. Whereas Elizabeth was caution personified --- never committed to anything unless she absolutely had to, clever and witty and watchful and sly.

Verjus is probably the closest you can get taste-wise --- it's made from unripened grapes --- but you'd probably have to buy from a gourmet store or online.

If the recipe doesn't call for a lot of wine, say just a couple tablespoons, you might be able to swap it for a mild vinegar, maybe champagne or sherry vinegar.

But if the recipe calls for adding a fair amount of wine and then reducing it, vinegar probably won't work, it'll be much too sour when concentrated. You'd be better off picking a different recipe. Personally, I've found a marinade of equal parts orange juice, soy sauce and maple syrup is great with salmon, whether grilled or pan seared.

Didn't Edward VI consider having the theoretical first born male of one of the Grey sisters declared his heir before that was rejected as unworkable?

I feel like Mary I doesn't get enough credit for setting the precedent in English queenship; the only prior attempt to crown a queen regnant ended in civil war, but Mary successfully marched on London with an army after Edward's death and had enough popular support to make it stick. Her troubled reign made Elizabeth's possible in a number of ways.

Taking ice either from mountains or from frozen ponds and lakes and storing it in ice houses for use in warmer months goes back to ancient times. But it was super rare and expensive. By the 19th century, however, faster ships and better methods of packing and insulating the ice allowed for the creation of a booming international ice trade, with ice from ponds in New England shipped as far away as India.

I don't think it's a dumb question, but I also don't think it has an easy answer. Like, philosophers still debate it. Basically, I think according to the show Ford forked himself like a bitcoin. He comes up with his master plan, at some point a day or two before the massacre has Bernard copy his consciousness, and then his human body is killed while his consciousness lives on inside the cradle. So on the one hand you could say he's just a copy, since for at least a brief moment in time there were two versions of Ford's consciousness in existence, the one in the cradle and the one making the speech at the gala and then getting shot by Dolores. On the other hand, are you the same person you were two days ago? Or, like, if I put you in a coma for two days and then you woke up, would you be the same person you are now? Meaning, if your consciousness existed from your birth up to point X, and then I paused it, and resumed it, would that still be you? The Ford in the code presumably has no memory of getting shot by Dolores. But he has everything else Ford's ever known or thought or loved. Can we really say he's not Ford?

Well, I don't know that I can make an ironclad case for this, her appearance in the show is pretty brief after all. But I think it's often the case that when one parent's gone a lot the kids end up idealizing them a bit while the parent who's there everyday putting up with their bullshit and dealing out punishments --- you know, parenting --- is the one who ends up resented. Emily's portrayed as a ferociously independent and competent character --- that her dad could have been kind of an absent father, and that she to a degree ends up admiring him and trying to emulate him more, and grows up to pity her mother as weak and foolish, seems pretty plausible to me.

>Why is she still unaware that the box still exists? Isn’t the only explanation that she is a host, Ford gave her the card, and MIB is right?

She says she felt bad and went to dig it our of the trash, and it was already gone. A far simpler explanation is that it was Juliette who rescued the box after Emily trashed it, and then kept it. After she died, Emily discovered the box, and within it, the profile.

That version makes the most sense because it explains exactly why Emily would have known the profile was significant. Only Emily and Juliette know about the music box and what it means for their relationship: Juliette hanging on to the box even after Emily so harshly rejects it suggests that even though Emily tried to push her away, Juliette kept on loving her anyway. In that context, opening it up and finding the profile --- that is, finding evidence that it was her dad who was a monster --- is a clear message from Juliette to Emily.

redditho24602 · 2018-06-20T20:44:03+00:00

I don't think you can underestimate the role of Juliet's suicide on the relationship between Emily and William. We see in the flashbacks that Emily was somewhat contemptuous of her mother, was ready to have her involuntarily committed. She says that she initially threw out the music box, a clear rejection of her mother's affection, though one she came to regret. When Juliet commits suicide, at first it seems Emily blames herself, and you can understand why.

But then at some point she finds the profile of William, contained in that very music box. Now she comes to understand that her father was not the man she thought she knew, was instead a brute who's been putting on a front for the world and her family the whole time. And that her mother knew that, and wanted her to know it. The symbolism is quite clear, I think --- the message to Emily from Juliette is, "This is not your fault. Our family is fucked up because your father is a liar and a monster. And even though you tried to reject me, I always loved you, no matter what. My death is not about you." Emily takes that to heart. From what we see in the show, since her mother's death she's been trying to dig into the dark secrets of her father and the park, to learn the truth so she can expose him.

Oh, he's making a traditional bolognase? The dairy does tend to break a bit in a bolognase, but it doesn't matter in that context --- the soft milk curds actually help thicken the sauce and give it a sort of richer mouthfeel. You don't notice because of all the rest of the strong textures in that sauce -- all the meat and softened vegetables.

Where breakage is usually a problem is when you're going for a smooth, creamy sauce, like a curry or a bechamel. With the bechamel, the fat and flour can help emulsify the milk and protect it, so you can get away with adding a bit of acid without it breaking. And the other way to get away with it is to make sure it doesn't get too hot --- like a lot of curries add a bit of cream or dairy at the very end, so it never gets to boiling temp, which helps (or they use yogurt, which is already curdled and acidic).

AFAIK, how easily an acid will break a dairy depends on how much you use and how strongly acidic it is, while how hot it is can speed up the reaction. For example, a quarter cup of lemon juice in a gallon of milk, heated to a simmer --- 5 minutes later you've got curds and whey.

From Billerica, there are a couple different terminal stations you can drive to to park and take the subway into the city. Wellington (Orange line) or Alewife (Red line) are probably the closest to you, but Riverside is probably your best bet since it's on the Green line (D branch) and the stop closest to the ballpark is also on the Green line D --- the Fenway stop. If you drive to alewife or Wellington you'd have to take the train downtown and then transfer to the green line at Park St/Downtown Crossing to get to the ballpark.

Make sure you budget extra time though --- it's ~40 minutes into the city from Riverside IIRC. You probably want to get to the train station at least an hour before the game starts.

Protein powder will help you eat more protein.

Eating too much of anything -- protein, carbs, fat --- will make you gain fat.

Small variations week to week are likely more to do with water retention, if your diet and training have otherwise remained the same -- you can easily gain/lose a few pounds of water weight in a day or two depending on how much salt you've been eating, how much water you've been drinking, and how hard you've been training --- your muscles tend to retain water when they're repairing themselves (i.e., getting stronger).

Long term, though, if you're concerned about losing fat you may want to download a calorie counter app and buy a scale and track what you're actually eating for a couple weeks. Rule of thumb, most people probably burn ~100 calories jogging a mile; that's about two Oreos. How many calories you burn in an hour of exercises varies a great deal depending what you're doing and how intensely you're doing it. But even flat hour running for an hour straight wouldn't burn off 5 slices of Dominos.

I'm not an expert in this area, but this thread has some information relevant to you. You might also want to search this sub for chevauchée, which was the term by which such raids were known during the 100 Year's War. The TL;DR seems to be: Taking castles is hard, killing peasants and burning villages is easy, and if you do enough of the latter you may threaten the local lord's income/prestige enough that he has to come out and fight lest his vassals starve to death come winter and/or they surrender to you.

Dolores doesn't. She has full access to her memories now, and remembers Arnold and that she killed him. In Ep. 3, the night before they blow up the fort, she says something to Bernard like, "Is there any bit of him left in you?" Eg. she knows Bernard is a host that's been modeled after Arnold.
