A few additional ideas: I make my quick sauces in a wide sauté pan with the high sides because the extra surface seems to cook the sauce faster (roughly same time as it take to boil water and cook pasta); I love using a food mill on my san marzanos (not much extra effort and I enjoy getting all the seeds and fibrous…

I love that you also prefer pancetta! It's my secret. From CT here and we almost never use a roux-let the potatoes thicken the stock by smashing a few on side of pot. Also we add the heavy cream at the very end and only to color it. My chowder is velvety and full bodied without being gloopy. I have access to fresh…

Definition of chowder has pork and No roux. The starch of the potatoes thickens it properly. The stuff with a roux was a result of Howard Johnson's "chefs" adapting or trying to recreate it in the 1950's.

grab the beef one too! but the seafood and clam ones are NOT great.

I took a silly cooking class in NOLA when on vacation and the instructor turned me on to that better than bouillon stuff, it's GREAT. The best part of the class was when she had everyone go up to the pot where she had flavored the stock for the jambalaya and wanted us to taste just how overly seasoned/spiced/extra…

I noticed a typo in my post, should say "no" way defending this behavior. I'm surprised that this concept is so surprising and that the idea of acceptance/envy is foreign. Honestly, I don't think it's just "male" need either, rather a human need (we even have a commandment about not coveting, for what that's worth). I…

Yes and no. It's about having societal pressure particularly from other males judging a man's stature based on the appearance of his partner. This causes what would otherwise be a "perfect couple" (per Vanessa's point) to not happen because Louie's insecurity taints/adversely affects his interest and attraction to…

But what Louis is saying through the Vanessa character is that fat women are NOT sexless, because the clever thing she said was that she does get laid when she wants and lack of sex is not the issue, because men will always fuck a willing woman (and horribly and obviously unwilling too). The issue for her is being…

Can't recommend this comment enough. Just like friend zone stuff is way more complicated than the haters on here want to admit, the vice versa is just as complex.

It's absolutely true and Louie did an amazing job of pointing out the hypocrisy that chubby/fat men have. The truest lines she pointed out were the "just wanting to be outside during daylight" (paraphrasing) with a guy. It's weird/odd/stupid but true that men place a lot of importance (either consciously or…

After the BullShit that UConn went through, UNC deserves SEVERE penalties. UConn lost scholarships and a postseason because they made the mistake of actually holding their athletes accountable for their grades instead of giving them phony classes.

I'm glad that a woman can say "camel toe" without being called a pedophile like I did earlier. I think most people on here are viewing this through adult eyes, like someone would dare ban them from wearing yoga pants to the gym. This whole issue involves very young girls and boys. I'm no prude, and I think there are…

It's not like 12-14 year old boys sit in the same classroom all day with the Olympic beach volleyball team. I think we are failing to realize that these are young children, and while (as I've stated on other posts) I agree that the implication that boys can't control themselves is the wrong message in every way (even…

I really DON'T think little girls are sexy, I was stating what the administrators are obviously upset about. If it was just the areas below the mid-thigh, the rules wouldn't be written that way and obviously leggings under a skirt or shorts are not fundamentally different that wearing tights right? So obviously, girls…

Obviously I'm pretty out of touch with pre-teen and teen fashion, so yeah I say ban anything that shows the outline of your junk. I really missed out though, all the girls in high school used to wear baggy Abercrombie sweaters and we all wore flannel shirts or the hip hop and skater kids wore really baggy pants with…

Ok, so I get that it's wrong to frame the reason for banning leggings as "the boys can't control themselves/it's too distracting". BUT, I fail to see how encouraging/"empowering" very young girls to show off their asses and/or camel toe is a good thing either. If pre teen boys suddenly decided to wear loose jogging…

I think a few splashes of lemon juice right after they're done does bring out the scallop flavor without overpowering; a little garlic added to the butter/oil doesn't hurt either. I love the taste of sea scallops and one of my fave ways is how my grandma did them in Xmas eve. Simple flour and egg batter fried briefly…

I really appreciate the feedback. I've also gotten that advice from strangers for years, but during a couple year break maybe 5-8 years ago, I sowed my oats and did some crazy shit. But I willingly trade threesomes and kinky sex for a best friend that I never get bored of. It just sucks not being sexually intimate. I…

She says they recommend scheduling in large part because there's still this huge myth that couples should always be in the mood first before getting into the act. "Research is showing that desire often emerges simultaneously with sexual arousal and sometimes even after the body is turned on, especially in women," she…

Not every woman wants to hear how sexy they are. If they don't believe it, nothing you do or say can make it better.
