Keep the faith! Almost everything on my third of an acre is in some sort of container - FL soil can be sort of sucky.

If they didn’t send it to me, I’d buy the one this company creates: http://www.rareseeds.com/ (they are AWESOME)

Some chicken meat is just pink. If it comes from a younger bird, for example, it’s more likely to come out pink even when it’s fully cooked.

it’s almost like victorian times sucked and people should stop romanticizing it

Huh. Are they super thick? You could try pounding them out first, but I still feel like that shouldn’t be happening at those time and temps. How pink we talking here?

I’ve done Murph a couple times (no vest), and I think my best time ever was around 55 minutes. For comparison, I can run a mile in 5:30, two miles at 13:00 without feeling particularly winded, rock climb regularly at V4s pushing to V5s, and oh yeah, I played in the fucking NFL.

No one cares about college rowing but like Donald Trump Jr., I rowed in college. (He was on the team at Penn for 1 year.) The standard by which rowers are judged is 2000 meters on the Concept 2 ergometer. The slowest guy on our team went 6:48. He was 5'10", 171lbs and iron deficient. Still, that score is butt. Donald…

You could make a super strong frappuccino using coffee ice cubes instead of plain ones.

IDK about sous vide, but braised sweet lotus root is pretty good. I think sous vide might effect the crunch though?

Add it to miso soup.

This is one of my favorite dishes using lotus root.

I’ve deep fried them before, but a sous-vide soak might be a good way to get extra flavor in them.

Does this mean we can start kicking Jews and coloreds out of our business establishments?

Now we just need some french fries to dip in it!

I mean I do season it with my liberal tears.

To all the troll comments I don’t want to ungrey, yeah the problem isn’t the messed up shit our government does, it’s just that you know about it. Never has the term “ignorance is bliss” been more apt. If you want the government to deceive you so badly, just go pretend none of this happened, just like the government…

Absolutely it’s worth getting over the “squick factor”. A medium-rare duck breast is one of the purest forms of joy achievable on this planet.
