Eh, you can get pretty close if you have the means to raise some Bantam chickens free-range. When my parents had a farm we had some banties running around for tick control and their meat and eggs were different from the other breeds we raised for meat. Didn’t really have white meat for one thing.

In 90% of those “inferno” cases, the simple error was placing a wet turkey into the fry oil. Just dry the damn thing off and it’s easy. Done it 20-30 times without an issue.

Growing up in the Pittsburgh area, we had “city chicken,” which was actually cubes of pork fried or roasted on a skewer and eaten like a drumstick.

I guess you better leave this kinda stuff to the grown ups.

Hear hear. I’ve started wondering whether a more efficient protest of gun control wouldn’t be for a bunch of activists to go pick up assault rifles at the local gun show and start turning up outside of government buildings or politicians residences. Or, hell, NRA headquarters.

Luckily the congressmen don’t have to worry about it, because everyone has to go through metal detectors to get in. Well, everyone except members of congress.

I’ve always said that if, God forbid, somebody walked into the Capitol Building and opened fire, these fuckers would pass so many gun laws you wouldn’t even be able to say the word “gun” without being put on a watch list.

That’s why the ‘bowl’ is tapered at the top, to prevent boil over and spillage.

This recipe is more or less still in use today. Chick-fil-a brines all of their chicken in pickle juice, which is more or less the same thing as this without the lemon. I’ve done this repeatedly, although not for 3 hours. Usually I just take a cup of leftover pickle juice and brine the chicken in that for about an…

“Ronald Reagan, for example, banned open carry while governor of California ‘as soon as the Black Panthers discovered it applied to them.’”

Frying a turkey is not that big of a deal if you follow the instructions. When you don’t follow the instructions, then you get a fire or an undercooked turkey.

Dip in batter, drop in very hot oil. Seems pretty much the same to me. Only difference I can see from the gif is my oil is heated by electricity, or sometimes propane.

Seems it’s right in line with the concept of fried chicken.. It’s interesting seeing an old recipe, can’t say it seems mind blowing-ly different or anything.

If you can stand a little bit of monotony, this strategy can be very effective. My biggest issues come when I don’t know what to do for a meal, especially lunch, and stray from whatever regimen I’m on.

Intense pulsed light therapy. I had it done for the bikini line and it worked well enough

Laser and electrolysis both work. I’ve had my pits lasered, followed up with electrolysis for the few stragglers. The right pit is done and there are only three hairs on the left side. My next electrolysis appt is Wednesday. Priyanka had hers lasered, or it’s makeup.

Totally. My husband and I are parent-friends with our son’s friend’s parents and it’s the best. Our play dates involve endless drinking and listening to records while the little guys play/argue/ trade clothes to their hearts’ desires (they are toddlers).

I think hobby friends are the sweet spot. Some of them will also be parents. Some of them won’t. I’ve gotten sucked into too many ladies’ nights out where the ONLY thing we got to talk about was family-life-can-be-tough stuff. When you know the other person hardly gets a chance to complain with people who get it, you…

My experience is that it is easy to make “mommy” aquaintences, but I am still struggling to turn these people into my actual friends (or even figure out if they should be my friends). I’ve been lucky enough to find a group of moms who live near me with kids about my kids’ age, and everyone is very laid back about the…

I’m pretty lucky that I reconnected with my best friend from my early twenties about 2 years ago, then she got pregnant 2 months before me. Its so valuable to have someone who is going through what you are at the time.
