I get wild-caught salmon from a family friend who lives in Alaska and does his own deep-sea fishing. We almost exclusively thaw out salmon to use for gravlax and the texture is usually not mushy at all because the salt and sugar (and booze) firm it up quite a lot.

I thought it was pretty explicit that she did live, because Diana showed her love and mercy. They wouldn't have ruined this movie by undoing that right away.

I would accept this if it means we get to see more of Etta.

I love aquavit martinis, especially ice-cold with a pickled okra or bleu cheese olive. I normally make one to have with gravlax, because gravlax is usually the only reason I buy aquavit in the first place.

I've heard of using vermouth too, but I tend to forget about it when I'm not actively using the bottle to make martinis.

I just want like, 90 minutes of the Amazons being awesome. I'm sorta crossing my fingers that this will be even more of an homage to Perez's 80s comic run. Julia Kapatelis, aww yeah!

Sooooooooo, crossover, right? Diana goes up against the Winter Soldier and tries to reprogram him? Goddamn, that would be fun.

I've talked about it here a few times, but I'll talk about it again here. When I was in my late teens and through my mid-twenties, I drank way too much. I didn't always drink every day, and I didn't show up to work drunk (although we did make ourselves some screwdrivers on occasion with leftover orange juice, but they…

Actually, a lot of hospitals are moving away from "ER" because it denotes just one room, as opposed to "ED", or a whole department of the hospital where urgent cases are taken.

Opioid withdrawal is still horribly unpleasant enough that the current medical standard is to supervise people who are going through it to try and make it a little easier on them, because so many who go through it just give up because the detox isn't worth the physical and emotional stress.

Huh, interesting. My preparation is much simpler than this - equal parts kosher salt, brown sugar, and crushed black peppercorns mixed together and rubbed into the salmon, then some fresh dill on top and underneath in a tupperware container, then a couple shots of aquavit*. I lay some plastic wrap on top, then weigh…

Yeah, I always use plastic wrap.

I've cut all kinds of onions of varying strengths and types. My eyes might sting some, but I've never cried at an onion before. I'd be surprised if there was one that did it to me.

Thanks!

How hard is it to grow onions? I've always wanted to, but so far this year I managed to kill 2 basil plants, a tomato plant, and a goddamn cactus.

I've actually never cried while cutting up an onion. My eyes have briefly stung at times, but I've never even so much as misted up. (Which is hilarious, because I'm notorious for crying about pretty much anything and everything.) I never thought much of it until I went to culinary school and then worked in…

Pence is so boring. Diamond Joe Biden would have popped that sucker right back onto the space shuttle and taken it for a joyride.

Falcon - Other Ron Swanson

Do I have to?

Which I completely understand and agree with, as I'm sure you know by now, having seen me around here for some time. I'm not particularly worried about offending potential allies by calling them out on shitty behavior, but nor do I think it's a good idea to pile on them for saying silly shit. As long as he manages to…
