Something, something, the Real McCoy

*old man yells at cloud*

And at least 1 typo.

Probably could have used a longer runway.

“The book covers an array of manners and answers the eternal question of why Japanese people don’t walk and eat. According to Chavez, etiquette courses taught in the Meiji Period (1868-1912) dictated that one was not to walk or drinking while walking. This has since become ingrained into society, which is why…

They already temporarily had Kale on par with Goku in the ToP, so you know, power levels.

I wash and mostly dry them and plop them into a delitainer with a damp paper towel in the bottom to maintain humidity. Pop the top on and then either leave them out on the counter if they like warmth (basil) or in the fridge if they do better in the cold (basically everything else).

Orrrrrrrrr a few beers simmering in a pot with hot dogs and brats and maybe like some aromatics if you’re feeling fancy. I mean you could do this in a circulator setup, but that seems like it defeats the spirit of the beer dog.

Funnel?

Pretty sure J. K. Bezos there didn’t become the richest man on Earth by paying his slaves a fair wage...

He doesn’t seem to cite anything other than his own personal opinion. Swelling wood is a pretty common practice in booze-related fields. You have to soak a barrel to swell it before you fill it with whiskey mash if you don’t want all your precious ethanol leaking out. I would think a cork would operate on a similar…

It would be absurdly bitter from the pith.

Batali is a piece of shit and I hope he dies an excruciating death after sinking to the depths of embarrassment and misery, but that baked ziti recipe is legit and I’m gonna keep making it.

You want a smooth, silky texture in a spirit based drink. Shaking would aerate and over dilute and chill the end result.

Try the microwave. Put the planks in a microwave safe bowl, seal it with plastic wrap, and blast it for maybe 30 seconds or so, depending on how crisp you want them and how powerful your microwave is. I usually use this method for a full steam, which for most veg. takes about 2 minutes, but varying amounts of time can…

Yanny.

It is correct. Carl’s is more about how forcing cream and nitrous gas out of a pressurized canister creates delicious whipped cream.

One thought, if you’re using a juicy fruit like (I think) blueberries in that picture, you’re likely extracting liquid from the berries into the final product, lowering the ABV. If the goal is to get it down to 20%, I think you need to weigh the before and after case for the booze/booze with stuff to determine what…

You are pressurizing the container filled with booze and fruit/other flavorants. The pressure forces the booze into the fruit, which you allow to briefly macerate, and then when you violently expel the gas from the canister, the pressure releases and the booze comes gushing out of the fruit, flavor in tow. That’s the…
