The Food Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

It works great! I did it all - double paper bag, paper towel which I never had to change, main section of the refrigerator instead of the crisper drawer. I didn't get to some of them for 17 days and was expecting the usual black and mushy. Instead, it was as if I put them in a food dryer :crazy: Sauteed they rehydrated just fine. Decades of doing it wrong, sigh :problem:
TIL too.
I'm going to try it for cilantro and other fresh herbs that I can sometimes end up composting :(
Cilantro worked pretty good. It never got black and mushy. It just dried out. Some of the leaves did turn brown, but I just chopped them along with the green leaves rather than fiddle with separating them out. Tasted fine.

Also works for garlic which was otherwise sprouting in the crisper drawer.

Nomination for Darwin award, at least honourable mention?

Edit: Upon further review, a nomination is definitely in order, perhaps even in the more competitive "Florida Man" category. In order to do what they suspect he did, he would have had to select a big knife, and brace the burgers against his chest/stomach and try to pry them apart holding the knife hari-kari style. There is no excuse other than sheer stupidity to do this.

Brined for two days with oranges, rosemary, bay leaves and peppercorns and stuffed with more more oranges and rosemary.

Unfortunately, I have a relative with an onion intolerance so it'll be a little different but I think still tasty.

Louie is making sure no one steals it.

Yup, seventeen pounder. One non turkey eater. It'll be a tight squeeze but we like each other and no trumpaloons amongst us.

No political talk tonight.

Also made a nice she-crab soup along with all the usuals.

What is a "non turkey eater"? Hell, they probably don't like football either.

On Thanksgiving? They probably don't like America, either.

LOL

That's actually partially true. He's a Notre Dame fan but doesn't really care about any other football.

Damn liberals.

Spread turned out pretty good.

Ha ha! No, we had a very traditional Thanksgiving (roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, cranberry relish, and pumpkin pie). My brothers and their families came over, and everyone watched football. (And, no politics!)

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!


:wtf: America is a dysfunctional family.
