Japchae is actually made using mung bean noodles, but yes, the stuff is amazing. Mung bean noodles look very similar to rice noodles, but are less starchy, slightly brown, and kind of remind me of extremely firm Jell-o

counter-counter point?

Are you referring to blousing straps? They're just to keep stuff out of your pant legs (supposedly). it's an elastic cord with a hook at either end that fastens around the top of the boot, then the cuff of the pant leg gets rolled over the strap.

It's quite funny and a little sad that you can't see past your own little cloud of "I'm right period" to see what I was illustrating there, so let me try to break it down for you a little more. How many guns are used in the US to kill people each year? How many guns are used to punch holes in paper each year?

I've not seen cold temps make them green personally, but I've read that they do, so ymmv I guess?

This is a stupid argument. Claiming that autos primary purpose is transportation and guns' primary purpose is killing people. Ok so you have decided that you want to rate autos "primary purpose" on what they are most commonly used for. Great. Now rate guns the same way. Obviously the millions of guns out there…

Funny thing about green potatoes. The green itself is just chlorophyll, the same stuff that makes lettuce green (or any other leaves). the problem is that the presence of chlorophyll indicates that there is solanine in the potato. A potato with the small amount of solanine (a nerve toxin) isn't going to kill you,…

IIRC, several countries also use ABW instead of ABV to measure the alcohol content, so there isn't always a straight conversion, but yes, 1 "point" of proof is 0.5% alcohol by volume, so 80 proof is 40% ABV

Since there isn't a seperate listing for barbecuing vs grilling, I'll assume both practices would be lumped under the same icon. Barbecuing is a slow method of cooking, and you can even do it in a weber grill if you want, although it's more labor intensive than piling charcoal on, setting it alight, and grilling for…

To be fair, an oven cooks things with hot air in between the heat source and the food, so it would take longer for the food to reach the same internal temperature than to submerge the food in a viscous liquid heated to the cooking temperature. That said, I've never heard of nutrients being more affected by one type…

put a garbage bag on over your shirt and jeans, leaving only your face exposed (cover that with a dust mask), crawl under a 2 ton block of aluminum that is generally hot to the touch (the inside runs at about 200C, but the outside is just uncomfortable to touch) and turn a wrench for 12 hours. That's what makes my…

I saw all the people that talked about wearing jeans for weeks or months at a time and shuddered. Then I thought about it. Maybe these folks that go a few months without washing their jeans don't do the same thing in them that I do in mine. I work in a semiconductor fab. I wear jeans to work because a) they're…

I must give this a try (making yogurt). I am quite lactose intolerant, as in I suffer with discomfort for about a day after eating or drinking any non-negligible amount of milk or milk products. I am def willing to try making yogurt at home though, to have a very large supply of yogurt for 1/4 the price would be…

I wouldn't call FF7 terrible. I'd put it maybe 3rd on the list behind 6 and 4, in that order, ahead of 8 and 9, after which would come 5. actually 7, 8, and 9 are all really close in terms of quality, although I really disliked 8's storyline

There's an entire interesting UNIVERSE there, regardless of the presence or absence of ONE hero that saved a galaxy. Mass Effect isn't just the story of Cdr. Shepard, it's a setting with the potential for amazing stories about other heroes as well, or other villains, some other sort of dark forces that may not be…

The process of making yogurt- I've heard, but not had it confirmed that it removes most of the lactose from the milk during the process. Is this correct, or would I need to use lactose free milk to make yogurt?

Orange juice tastes good to many, and the sourness is a bit invigorating, plus I drink throughout the day, not just in the morning.

No, the yellow egg is what's known as PWE, which stands for Pasteurized Whole Eggs. Take a dozen eggs, scramble them raw in a machine until they're thoroughly blended, pasteurize, and put into a milk carton-style container. That's the mcd's scrambled eggs. We switched to those in the Navy before I got out as well,…

I know you're probably being sarcastic, but on the off-chance that you're serious, if you eat it (or any other kind of food with a high content of stuff your body isn't used to digesting) more often, your body will get used to it. Best to avoid though.

Use enamel paint. It's more durable, and works well on things like particle board. It is glossy, so it may not be right for you.
