Yikes! I guess I could cook the chicken w/o onions, remove the meat, and then throw the carcass back in with onions.

I’ve been using the instant pot for stock. A whole chicken, water, onions, carrots, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, celery. cook for 5 mins and then natural release as long as you can stand. The meat from the chicken is adored by my dog, so it doesn’t go to waste.

Agreed. At first taste, Amy’s is good, but I did t like it over a whole meal. Heinz all the way. Also, organic doesn’t taste better; you’re paying for the no pesticides and stuff.

I’m pretty excited for this. I went through a “fangirl” period about the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in high school/college. I was able to have lunch/pen pal with a couple of veterans back when they were still alive.

My alcoholic grandfather was also an exclusive Olympia beer drinker. And unfiltered camels and Gallo wine. Died of cancer, naturally.

I made a pretty big batch this year and was able to give it away to a bunch of people who loved it. Mine is a slight variation on Alton Brown’s. No nuts in mine, because yuck.

I make one that’s pretty tasty. I avoid any glacéed fruit (that technicolor crap), have tons of rum, cinnamon, and butter. I did increase the amount of cake vs. fruit lately, because cake is yummy. Not sure it will preserve as well, though; that’s the risk.

AND Garrett Hedlund was there! Wrestling shirtless with Charlie Hunnam.

On a related note, I went to cook some greek beef stew (stifado) last night, and my Ultra wouldn’t seal! Then when I was futzing with it, I broke off the steam release button. I’m guessing it needs a fresh seal, but it’s kind of messed without the top of the button. Replacement lids are out of stock, too.

This reaction will vary by user. As an atheist Jew, I just don’t enjoy all the Jesus-y stuff.

On re-read as an adult, I found this book to be far too religious (Christianity vs godless communism!). Narnia books are also unreadable to me now.

I live in boulder (5600 feet) and I still get altitude sickness above 8500 feet if I don’t take it easy the first day.

I know! Just watched it last night, and was confused by that claim. I can’t believe they left that stuff in the edit; or maybe they just wanted him to look like a fool. All his smugness was hard to take even before realizing he didn’t know anything about baking at 12,000 feet. This is almost as embarrassing as that…

I noticed it. I thought it was also a terrible movie.

I gave him even more credit than he deserved, I guess.

“tedious suckage”; I love this review. Considering the not-realistic-at-all animatronic baby doll in American Sniper, “child actors given zero direction” is actually an improvement.

The story of my childhood. My dad owned a health food bakery, so you can imagine that awful Carob birthday cakes I was subjected to.

I think Tom Hardy thinks Leo D. is a cool dude that he needs to impress somehow.

Ugh, why did he make it so big?? Still cute though.

Let’s start this thing: cats shouldn’t go outside, where death awaits. Maybe Feline Friends knows something we don’t about whether this person is a responsible cat owner.
