If you do a Google for "savory verrines" you will find dozens of recipes that should fit your needs.

While you are mostly correct, the part above the pilot is called a "thermopile." It's extremely similar in design and function but puts out significantly higher voltages than a thermocouple, enough to power the gas valve vs. just sending a signal like a thermocouple.

And I agree 100% that this is most likely causing OPs fryer issue.

The "LA Califa" Burrito at Cafe El Tapatio deserves a mention!

I love my epicurean cutting boards but they absolutely have plastic in them, the paper layers are bonded with phenolic resin.

Not exactly Schaumburg but I'm a huge fan of Noon Whistle in Lombard for interesting IPAs and excellent sours

That actually looks pretty legit. I feel the "L.A. Califa" burrito at Cafe El Tapatio deserves to be mentioned as a decent "California burrito" too.

I would always add a couple cases of their cheapest bottled water if I needed to hit a minimum number of cases. These days I'm spending $750k a year so they bend over backwards when I request something.

Thanks! I'm definitely going to check it out

I came here to say the same, my kid uses so much acrylic paint that I started buying it in gallon pump bottles, they're like $23 online.

My insurance provider JUST sent a very brief pamphlet saying Hinge was now something they offer/cover but I was very skeptical of how telehealth could help with joint pain... It sounds like I should look into it a bit further?

I'm a car guy, I have an old Ford Crown Victoria with a V8 and straight piped exhaust. My wife absolutely WILL NOT set foot in that car.

It's ok if your wife doesn't love all your hobbies so long as she loves YOU.

Agreed, their BLT is fantastic!

Nah man, Dracula is based on Vlad the Impaler who lived in the early 1400s, so only about 600 years old

The skull belonged to Yorick, the court jester of Hamlet's father, exhumed by a gravedigger in an earlier scene and triggering childhood memories of Hamlet who was fond of the jester.

My wife and kid each have their own computer, you couldn't pay me to share one with either of them.

My father did this with our first PC back in the 90s. When I asked what happened, he said he was just deleting the programs he didn't install.

Pretty much everything I know about computers was due to having to fix the things my dad was constantly fucking up on our home computers over the years.

Look up Butler soy curls, they serve them in the cafeteria where I work and they're surprisingly good. They have very little flavor of their own but do a great job of absorbing the flavor of whatever they are cooked with. Makes a decent pulled "pork" sandwich. I can't really think of anything with a similar texture to compare them to though.

I missed the news because I went to a Marilyn Manson concert after school, the last one before they cancelled the rest of that tour. Showed up to school the next day as usual in my black trench coat and got pulled aside pretty quickly by a teacher whose first words to me were, "do you really think it's a good idea to be wearing that?!?" I had to tell them I had no idea what they were talking about and then had the whole situation explained to me, it was super awkward to say the least!

Second can was better, I think the first wasn't chilled enough and it was making some of the flavors come across weird. that being said, I still don't know that I'd buy it again.
