We found that for homemade pizza we have better results if we prebake the crust part way, flip it, then load the ingredients on and cook for the normal time. And that if you’re really going to load it up, putting a layer of cheese down first, then sauce, then more cheese and ingredients keeps the crust from sogging…

Especially for people cooking for 1 or 2 in a world of recipes for 6, a discussion of what can be prepared to a certain point, portioned and frozen, and then thawed and finished, instead of having leftovers for 4.

Want to really amp the flavor of the corn muffins, during fresh corn season, make up a bunch of “corn butter” (see http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/americas-test-kitchen-corn-bread-52948101)

We usually individually bag portions in the cheapest fold-over sandwich bags we can get, and then seal and freeze a bunch of them together. That way they can be separated later without thawing first.

Can’t speak for this unit. But on ours, you lose about an inch and a half of bag for every seal - it doesn’t seal right on the edge, but needs a margin to suck the air out and form the seal. So to reseal a previously sealed bag, you need to have made the original bag proportionately larger, so you have enough left to…

I’m not an expert by any means, but one thing we noticed when each of our dogs were puppies is that since we talk to each other a lot of the time, it helped to speak to them in a different voice, which they rapidly recognized as Something Different Going on, and thus, being directed to them. (or related to training…

America’s Test Kitchen rated it very highly, and it essentially lasts forever in the fridge. Plus, you can use as little as you need, so it’s easy to add a quarter teaspoon or so to things to oopmph them up just a little.

I agree. Over a lifetime, I’ve gotten a bunch of knives, and something not only for actually sharpening, but also for touching up the edge in between sharpenings makes all the difference.

How about being hoist on their own petard?

Another useful part of the process is to find a few go-to flexible meals that use up leftovers. Two of ours are burritos and stir-fries. Add some black beans and spices to just about any leftovers, wrap them in a burrito and give them a quick fry on all sides and top with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Or chop…

If you’re being fair, acknowledge that gin is essentially vodka infused with botanicals. It’s not like it’s not in the same general range of spirits.

I frequently to to thrift stores for things to modify or hack, often with the basic idea in mind and a “what can I use to make that?” attitude. So for those items, the low cost is the driver.

Sorry, but I love the tone of the recent Bonds. I’m all for a parallel wacky franchise like Kingsmen, and it’s unfortunate that U.N.C.L.E didn’t take off. Melissa McCarthy was brilliant in Spy. But I like Bond serious. He doesn’t need to be so godawful damaged, but that’s a different issue.

That’s lovely and all, but any suggestions about how to actually make the shift? Because, well, duh, of course we enjoy doing what we enjoy more than what we put up with for the results.

I never understood how he got a rotating three-dimensional image on that model of mac - and why the modern-day guy didn’t freak out over that, too.

There is no past. There is no future. There is no present.

Everything you said, but I’ll add that now, Thawne is one of the recurring baddies on Legends, so that moves Barry solidly into the category of things they routinely fix.

I had to double-take when Stein walked out an just calmly tossed off “I’ve mass-produced a small device that, when placed on individual Dominators....”

They can always rescue Harry and Jesse to another earth, like Jay Garrick’s, if they don’t want them cluttering up the lab.
