No, but you can boil/steam to extract flavor before frying. I do this when I make fried potatoes, and a lot of other things. I start the potatoes off in a bit of water with the alliums, butter, and spices added. I cover it loosely, and once the water boils off, the potatoes start frying.
This accomplishes a couple things. First, it keeps the potatoes from ending up hard (not raw, but hard), because the water draws some starch out and hydrates the potatoes. Second, it extracts the flavor from the allium (I favor shallots) and spices, mixing with the starch that ends up coating and browning. The starch being pulled out of the potatoes, but being left to coat them, also makes the end product more cohesive, with shallots clinging better to the potatoes.
So is pourover.
I think the confusion with espresso is that people think espresso should be a darker roast, and that remained pervasive even as other brew methods started to gain market share with lighter roasts. But you can absolutely make great espresso with lighter roasts.
Trust me, she’s judging you from beyond the grave.
Like most things, the real problem behind GMO is greed. Creating rice strains that grow in impoverished areas, where little else will grow, is hard to see as a bad thing. We could be, and to some degree are, creating strains to solve world hunger, improve nutrition, improve durability of produce without sacrificing flavor. Tomatoes, I’m looking at you.
But so much of GMO is an effort to dominate the market, instead of to make the market better.
Do you have a preference for type of olive oil, you use for it? There’s so much variance in olive oil flavor profiles, and I tend to like more peppery varieties. But I imagine that might not be the best here, though with the anise and cinnamon… maybe it would.
Typically go for the model coming off business leases, with the slim T model or 13" X model being very popular and well built. The X1 series tends to have cooling issues, so I’d avoid them without a lot of research into the specific model. The P series tends to get run harder, so I’d be a bit hesitant there as well. It seems a lot of companies extended to a 4 or even 5 year lifecycle, so normally I’d be saying to start looking for the T14s g1, of which the AMD models started being very good. But you’d probably be looking more towards the T480s and T490s, still, and I think you’ll probably want to stick with Intel for those. But if you find a good deal on a T14s, particular the AMD model, I’d say jump on it.
In recent models, target the 400nit low power IPS screens. Avoid the 500nit privacy guard screen, which basically behaves like a TN panel as far as viewing angles. The 300nit screen has color reproduction and uniformity issues, but I do have one on my work T14s g3, and it’s not horrible. I have the 400nit on my P14s g4, and it is substantially better.
Thinkpads aren’t as upgradable as they used to be, so be mindful of the RAM in particular.
Also none of the 500 nit privacy guard, and the 400 nit low power is generally much preferable to the 300 nit. Not just for brightness, but color reproduction and uniformity are far better.
I believe the T480s and T490s are in the sweet spot right now. Most companies seem to be moving to 4 or 5 year lifecycles, so we don’t seem to be seeing many T14s g1 coming off lease yet.
Yeah, it’s a really nice alternate heat, that gets up more into your nostrils. I also like some nice sliced fermented carrots and jalapenos, fermented together gives a nice flavor melding.
This was definitely an eating ribeye, but I keep an eye out for inexpensive ribeyes that I slice up and freeze for cheese steaks, stir fry, tacos, etc.
Before anyone complains about radish, a lot of taco places in Tucson have sliced radishes at the salsa bar.
Man, I have a nice ribeye in the oven for a reverse sear, but now I just want nachos. Those look great!
Only if they’re gay, have mental health issues, or are Jewish.
There’s way too much emphasis on a few songs from each artist that seem to make them more money, or are otherwise pushed by the record companies. AI or not, if it gets me deeper tracks in my daily mixes and artist radios, I’ll pay the extra for that and lossless.
No, it’s a dangerous, generalized statement that if you’re against what the far right is doing, you have to align with what we stand for. If not, you’re the far right. That is literally what it’s saying, and folks might add on some stuff in their head when they interpret it, or some additional hidden intention when they utter it. But ultimately, it will distill down to the literal meaning.
standard policy where the actual measured size can’t be more than an inch off the stated size
Yes please, I’m so tired trying to guess if this 33 is a 34, 35, or 36.
Yes, everyone who doesn’t align with your political view is facist. That in itself doesn’t sound facist at all, does it?
We need to not just be careful about what some horrible people are doing right now, but also about what we become as we react to it.
It smacks of a belief that to pull through this, the majority of us need to figure out how to get along.
The argument is, gun control treats the symptom and not the cause. Personally, I’m mixed on it. I definitely think we should be severely limiting access to automatic weapons, and others along those lines. But too much control over legitimate hunting weapons is an attack on a lifestyle, and I absolutely see the need for handguns now that I live in an area with very large predators.
Instead, I feel we’d be much better off attacking the social injustice that leads people to feel so helpless and lost.
I agree completely. Technology has been making us more efficient for all of human history, and at an absolutely absurd pace since the transistor. We don’t see the benefit, we see more work for less, and live a degrading quality of life in favor of increasingly empty convenience.
I’m sorry, but once you blend it up with over 50% other stuff, it’s no longer cheese. For example, we call some better concoctions made with cheese “cheese spread”. American cheese itself has a lot of varying quality, some is largely cheese mixed with other dairy products and emulsifiers. Others, like Kraft Singles, are largely artificial.
We should absolutely limit naming in order to protect proper, traditional processes like those used in cheese making. Processes which produce healthier products, that don’t rely on approximations of nutrient content, while missing out on lesser nutrients that we might not understand yet. Unfortunately, ultraprocessed foods have become so normalized, that most people seem to read right through the labels and ignore the fact that they’re eating largely artificial foods.
I can see the benefit of a more lightly processed American cheese in melting applications. I prefer using melty cheeses like Muenster or Danish Fontina on things like burgers, or a richer cheese combined with a touch of sodium citrate to aid melting in others like soups. But some folks will even use a slice or two of American cheese along with a better cheese, in place of sodium citrate.
You called them naive.
