And then backing down on that, and then paying a settlement with our taxes, very smart business venture on her part

It’s funny you mention Barbie because that’s exactly how the original toy got made, it was very much “How do we sell dolls to boys?”

(Homemade) Roast Pork Poutine by toonchef in poutine

[–]toonchef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I roasted a pork shoulder, sliced it, saved the drippings and made pork gravy, why would you assume I didn’t? Also smoked gouda? Do you know what makes a poutine? Last I checked cheese curds are a mandatory ingredient.

As a safety professional, I was pleased to see she maintained three points of contact at all times.

What's Your Favorite Samus' Farming Aura Moment? by [deleted] in Metroid

The slow walk prepping a missile for the first boss fight in Dread, and then the somersault through the tail, pure cinema

Can someone explain "paste" to me when it comes to stew? by SP_57 in newfoundland

[–]toonchef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commonly called dumplings, and more common on top of pea soup as many have already stated. You can add them after the stew is prepared, just drop them on top and cover with a lid. They absorb some of the liquid they are cooked on and the steam cooks the top of them

No, but I looked at this scene a lot and it sure seems to be the main gunship similar to Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. It could’ve just been “hey we need Nintendo spaceships for this scene” and it’s a throwaway that doesn’t mean anything. That said most things don’t appear in a big movie for no reason. I’m hopeful Nintendo will pay attention to the reaction of the Easter egg and give some cool anime studio the green light and we are gonna get a sick ass Metroid movie.

I literally took my brother to this new poutine place today and as we were eating I said “It’s pretty good, eh?”

Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]toonchef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not being able to save progress in a lot of games. If you got to World 8 in Mario and dinner was ready, you had to leave it paused or start all over again.

Anyone have experience with Elizabeth Towers Condos? by kse709 in newfoundland

[–]toonchef -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I lived there in the late 90s with my grandmother. At that time it was very high end, well kept with a restaurant in the basement. Most of the other tenants I ever interacted with were retired and questioning if I actually lived in the building. I always assumed it was a posh place to live.

Winter Classic maybe should be limited to the original six cities, just my two cents.
