I know it’s against the DIY motto, but Guard makes a few great bandages. I buy the knuckle and extra long bandages and they hold up to the injuries and abuse of a professional kitchen.

People seem to think this is counter-intuitive, that a sharp knife will cut you worse, but a dull knife will slide unpredictably when you try to use it. Not to mention, a cut from a dull knife will be worse and take longer to heal than from a sharp knife because it tears the skin rather than slicing it.

I’ll have to test this, but what I need is a way to keep one app running in the background. For example, keeping a real time game running while I respond to a text, or answer a call.

This turkey looks spookily like E.T. in the zoomed-out thumbnail.

Yeah, you could just carry a glue stick and matches. A little less compact, I guess, but you can also carry more matches.

Salt is cheap, you don’t need that much of it, and it’s your only chance to season the pasta itself, unless you make it by hand.

Find the Universal Android Drivers, or just the driver for your device, download the ADB program, then Google the commands for it (it runs in command prompt, i.e. no GUI).

Moral of the article: Grocery store spice blends are overpriced, stale, and easy to make at home.

Cumin and thyme are my favorite spice and herb, so I can see this being good. Very universal for sure.

I was going to publish something similar, but upvoting this seems like way less work.

It’s definitely more like chicken-flavored veg stock, beef-flavored veg stock, etc.

I normally do this, though not with raw meat. Another trick is to fill the sink with water and submerge a ziplock up to the zipper, then seal.

It seems a little silly to have a “butcher's block” counter top that you can’t use as a butcher’s block.

Most food borne bacteria is from either infected animals (more likely to happen in conventional raising) or from the processing.

Yeah, I need at least 3 towels when cooking. One wet to wipe down, one hand towel, and one for grabbing hot pans (I don’t use oven gloves).

This is pretty much how we brake in new cooks. When they inevitably run out of prep or fall behind because they are unfamiliar with the volume/menu, we jump in, help out, and gently remind them that we’re a team: if one cook goes down, the whole team goes down.

After brief testing, Tuber seems to open the video in the YT app, ChromeCast works, and once connected, you can queue videos, however switching back and forth from Tuber to YT is a pain, and as far as I can tell, there’re is no way to sort channels other than A-Z.

I haven’t tried it, but if it plays videos from the embedded web player, it should have a Cast button. I would imagine, though, that you probably loose the queuing feature of the official YT app.

I like to study Google maps of the places I live. I try to find alternate routes and memorize the lay of the land.

I don’t like to use a press unless a recipe calls for garlic paste, and I think the product yield is higher if you peel the garlic.
