Yeah but Kraft Mac can be easily made in five or six minutes total, using the microwave. No idea why people bother with the stove if it's just Kraft.

That works out to $4.53/lb combined, which would be a bit high for our area (though admittedly we don't get duck at the butcher because so many people give away the ones they shoot there's no market for it).

Where the hell do you two live? 4.53/lb for elk and duck around here means there's chestbursters in the meat or it's a going out of business sale.

The Macaroni posted:Wait, what? My quick n dirty mac n cheese (bechamel plus cheese plus pasta) sauce cooks in the same amount of time that the pasta does. It may not be as silky as the roux sauce in a 3-hour beef stew, but it'll do in a hurry. Roux-thickened sauces taste like flour if you don't cook them for 20 minutes.

Daeren posted:Where the hell do you two live? 4.53/lb for elk and duck around here means there's chestbursters in the meat or it's a going out of business sale. Well like I said duck is given away here in the great open wilds of Nevada and elk goes for the same price as beef and venison, so usually in the $2-3 per pound range depending on cut etc. That's at a butcher, though. You can still pay silly amounts of money on red died industrial meat at the supermarket if you want. And Whole Foods will charge double what the supermarkets charge. The secret, really, is buying from good local butchers like kiteless is doing, or raising your own which is really the best thing.

This includes the sauce-cooking time. You need to cook the flour and fat for about 20 minutes total. Simmering the sauce for ten minutes will do it.

Butcher was trying to make room for new stuff, so he had a fire sale on the elk ($3/lb; ground and frozen) and $2/lb on the sausage. Everything else is just reasonably priced. Duck tenderloin is like a chicken tender(loin), apparently. There are a whole bunch in the bag to make up 1 lb. Edit: Seattle area, and food is not cheap here. Grocery stores regularly sell bonelesss skinless chix breasts and flank steak for $10/lb, not that I buy them. kiteless fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Feb 16, 2012 |

To fine the cut peeler? To cut the fine peeler To peel the fine cut? Peel to the cut fine? Cut the fine to peel? The glory of disaster is that it also destroys our failures; we can start anew. Except with marmalade. There we have to give it away to relatives we never really liked since gradeschool.

dino. posted:SEE ALSO: Assholes who are inconsistent. Honey is loving not vegan. Don't be so black and white, this is something that vegans do argue about. Veggie Cuddler Girl actually bakes with honey, but she knows better then to say that on her blog, lest she start a vegan blog war. There is no medical reason for veganism, it's a moral choice made of conscious. And therefore, inherently subjective. If you are bothered by exploitation of animals, what happens to cows at industrial milk farms is in a different league from commercial bee keeping. We need bees to fertilize our food crops anyway, so it's not like you are avoiding the exploitation of bees just by not eating honey. Plus, local honey is really good for you. But hey, if your take on veganism precludes honey... then don't eat it! Whatever works for you, man. People should be able to eat what ever they hell they want without having to justify it to anyone else. Phummus posted:I got my cpap about 6 months ago and use it every night. CPAP brother.

I went home and called it, sure that I'd get it back, as I'd be sure to try and return it to somebody if I found theirs. After a while someone answered - a station staff member to whom somebody had handed it in. Many people are honest. Rule .303, I hear you, but I think what you are saying is that any movement attracts people who are into a fundamentalist, self-righteous way of doing things, and the more extreme the movement, the higher the proportion of those assholes.

Yeah, I have left my iPad all over the place and always gotten it back; I'm just a bit absent-minded. A few weeks ago I left it sitting on top of the self-checkouts at Home Depot - mind you, I remembered like 15 minutes later and went and got it, but the staff had already looked through it to try and call me, and then went and locked it up when someone turned it in.

What do you know, when I have it back, it was right-side-up. Also, when I got home, the thing was deregistered already. I think I got it back, because Puppy called Amazon, and had them deactivate the thing, and essentially make it impossible for anyone except for me to use it. Well then. At least you got it back, so that's good.
