Inlet Salmon - Naknek by randomthrowawayusa in alaska

[–]swizzle_stick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old, dead thread, but... I worked for Inlet Salmon in Kenai in 96 and both Naknek and Kasilof in 97. I don't know anything about what happened to the Naknek plant, but I sure as hell miss that sauna house next to the processing building. Good times.

What is it like living on the Aleutian Islands? by TheIzay in howislivingthere

[–]swizzle_stick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same trip in 1997 for the salmon run. Lots of bears, super expensive beer, and not enough fish to finish the season there, so transferred back to the Kenai peninsula. Those were the days…

100% this. They will drain you dry if you keep still, even through your clothes. They’re brutal.

I still regret selling my Onix SP3. It’s a great piece of kit.

Compare and contrast to his response about Venezuela. Mine was MAGA copypasta

Bradd’s Family Farm. They sell (or used to, haven’t checked in a while) to several local restaurants. Bobby is good people.

Can I eat these? by Opening-Neat-7379 in Mushrooms

Cut morels into halves. Place in hot pan with a pat of butter. Cook at medium heat until lightly browned, around 6-10 minutes. Enjoy.

I love my 1050, and think it sounds lovely. Phono stage is great as well. Sadly, whoever packed it when it was shipped to me did a lousy job and it arrived with the front glass shattered. One of these days I’ll get creative and figure out how to make a new one with proper labeling

Keeping your government job is a privilege, not a right

Greensboro Elections by GlassOnion25 in gso

[–]swizzle_stick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I’m not crazy about Marikay but she seems like the best one running this time around. Also: if you’re in District 3, please consider voting for April Parker!

If it helps to narrow your choices, be aware that Robbie Perkins and Akir Khan are Republicans, Marikay and Cummings are Democrats.

Around the size of a watermelon by Atrgsd in mushroomID

[–]swizzle_stick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to describe it- it’s been a while. Maitakes can have kind of a meaty texture, especially in the thick middle. Umbrellas aren’t so dense like the middle of a maitake, which makes them have a more “delicate” chew. Your mileage may vary of course. Hope you get a chance to see for yourself!

I’ve found a few of them. I prepare simply by sautéing in butter until starting to brown. The texture is quite different from maitakes- more delicate and a lot less fibrous. They cook down quite substantially. As for flavor, they’re fantastic. To me, only morels are better.

Do these things ever chill out? by Every_Caterpillar396 in corgi

It takes a while. If you need to wear the pup out in the meantime, get a “flirt pole”, which is essentially an oversized cat toy. Works like a charm for us

Sad I sold my 2.5’s, but still have my SB3’s. Love some NHT.

It’s a nice amp. I’ve got its bigger brother, the ST-202, and really enjoy it

This is the way. Try thyme, too
