this can apply to many dishes. yes, the extra cleanup is a pain, but I’d rather wash a few more pans for better meal.

For these kinds of gift cards, you can use them up at the gas pump. If you need to fill up, you’ll have to make two purchases, but the pump will give you the value of gas that’s left on the card.

While I would definitely prefer a good crab cake on it's own, this sounds like it would be great as a benedict.

depending on where you’re coming from, Bowie’s not a bad drive. But my God, if I have to be on MD 3/301 for more than like 30 min, I’m ready to murder every red light and driver.

I tend to like fruit in a salad as a counterpoint, but yes, flavor profile and balance is key to a good salad. I would eat way more salad when going out if most restaurants could actually make good salad.

I know cilantro is a controversial ingredient, but I love a good Thai salad that is basically just cilantro, mint, and other stuff on top.

I was watching a YouTube show where the teams had to build a computer from spare parts without using the internet. So phone calls, buying parts in person, using paper maps, the yellow pages.

My wife has some incredible ability to memorize street names and build a map in her head.

I will never buy a Sonos. I was gifted a Sonos 1, (and the gifter got it free with another purchase).

Yep. Never. And I have at least 6 devices that use them, one of which is my nearly 4 year old phone that gets plugged in every day, sometime multiple times a day since this old battery is starting to die.

Main reason I like my Anker true wireless headphones; the case charges USB C. They have plenty of other short comings, but eh, I only paid 50 for them.

I’ll be honest; romaine for me is just a vessel to consume an unhealthy amount of ceaser or blue cheese dressing... maybe an unhealthy amount of buttermilk chive dressing if I’m feeling fancy.

That's cool, I'll have to look into it. I hate unitaskers, other than my rice cooker (sure, it can do more, but I'll reach for the Instant Pot for anything else).

you can also cut the heat right after deglazing, and add in cold butter for a more ‘creamy’ pan sauce.

makes sense, I don’t have a dedicated circulator, I just use my Instant Pot Ultra cause I’m hardly ever cooking for more than two and it can maintain the constant temperature needed for sous vide

I wonder with the shells, if you could just skip the bag and make your liquid a nice beer and Old Bay brine MD style?

can confirm. my father’s been a jewelery appraiser for over 20yrs. an insurance appraisal is different from a retail replacement appraisal, is different from a sales appraisal.

or don't buy such an expensive ring. sure, not for everyone, but my fiance loves her $500 estate piece.

they should make a waffle iron with an expanding hinge ala panini press style. I’d eat some waffle paninis

they probably don’t eat scrapple either
