Good choice! I was also going to say that it works well in marinades too, but I just now noticed that Allison pointed that out. I’ve recently done stir fried chicken with balsamic as a base with soy and some other ingredients and it caramelizes nicely.

Do both NoOnesPost and thicken it, if you have enough in the bottle, and also Cayde-6's ice cream suggestion. is great. I would also add that one of my all time favorite type of desserts/healthy snacks is balsamic (preferably thickened by reduction) with fruit and maybe some freshly cracked black pepper. Most berries,…

What a great Quality of Life Patch! Sounds like something that should be an industry standard too. Pressure can make diamonds, but in this case it can also make people rage quit things and drop reviews that are less than they could have been. Good for you! :-)

Kevin Pang? THE Kevin Pang?! Welcome back to one of the corners of your fan club!

There is definitely a large part of me that has zero issues believing that his childhood was a hellscape of abuse and trauma, but he is doing himself absolutely no favors on how he has been handling this as of late. This seems to be his only gig and he will almost certainly keep dragging things on and on as there…

Crap, something went haywire?

...Fuck yeah! 🎵

Kinja double post edit. 

Yeah, being old enough to have had my older relatives who survived through things like the Great Depression often exposed me to some culinary horrors I have mostly been able to forget. Almost anything served in Jell-0 comes to mind and people committed some awful crimes with that thickened hoof gel. I think one of my…

Oh noes! Teddy Blobfish Cruz is exposed to the fake virus that was created and spread by evil secret Democratic labs!

Eh, I use a VPN a lot and have some decent virus stuff and other tricks for privacy, but the internet generally sucks right now and it’s only getting worse. I’m not too worried about my vid blocker and it’s often better to use well rated and known stuff, but you do you...

Good to know! I primarily use Chrome, but I’m not surprised that there’s a config for it. I’ve had them on my browsers for a very long time now and it’s just a basic quality of life sort of thing to have something installed to prevent them. Thanks for the info! 

If it’s really a problem, look into getting a ‘Disable Autoplay’ add-on for whatever browser you’re using. Sometimes you need to toggle it on and off to watch certain things, but it’s easy to do and well worth having. I have versions for both Chrome and Firefox. 

I never had an actually bug, but their close cousins, my rails shared the same VW genetics. As much as I loved my rails, it was probably due much to my grandfather driving a bug for all of the last couple of decades of his long life. He did well and had more than enough money to drive whatever, but he still drove his…

Color me surprised too, as I can see that going viral AF! Then again, I don’t do much gram stuff, so that’s how I didn’t see that. Finger NOM Cat, FTW!

Andrew, I always look forward to your desert racing coverage! Thank you! Maybe someone will offer you another co-driver/nav ride in the future? If not a Baja or even the Mint, the Hammers would also be cool to watch you in an embedded journo/co-pilot role! Seems like some decent free advertising for an up and coming…

Your cat makes actual NOM! noises when presented with turkey and turkey flavored fingertips!?!? How did I miss that Gram?

Ah yes, the innocuous small water leak...

I’ve spent the last couple of months redoing the plumbing in my 1950s house and it has gone from a seemingly simple fix into a cascading nightmare of endless issues. Ok, so my water pressure to the shower is dribbling out because the water line is understandably filled with hard water mineral deposits. Just replace…

Ok, I live in one of the circles of hell known as Phoenix, but at least living around the downtown area I live within striking range of that Sonora dog stand the Andrew Zimmern visited on his show (I’m too lazy to find a video) and it’s pretty damn good! I’ve had better, actually much better in Mexico, but it’s more…
