I have some vague uneasy feeling that 'corn muffin' could refer to some sort of sex act involving very hairy men (probably Larry's type, also wearing plaid), but I'm just going to stop the ol' brain-dome righhhttt there.

Squashy Nipples posted:THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! My condolences - I don't really like uptown. Yeah, it's called uptown and that's by design. I guess like 10-15 years ago it USED to be called "downtown", but city officials felt it created a negative perception of Charlotte and actively rebranded it as "Uptown". Because up is better than down, you see. Just FYI, the Charlotte Blue Line light rail (LYNX) system is excellent. If you're uptown you can jump on it at 7th street or at the Convention Center/EpiCentre station and it runs all the way down through South Charlotte, which is where most of those places I listed are, since it's the area I've lived in since I moved here. From that list I wrote, you could easily visit Vietnam Grille, Jaipur, NY Pizza, The Liberty, Nikko, and The Burrito Factory. The light rail runs parallel to South Blvd (where all of those aforementioned places are located) so anything on that way is accessible. Also if you want to drink from a huge selection of beer/wine and watch hipsters do their hipster things, check out Common Market in the South End area (off of the Bland St stop on the light rail). They actually have some really good sandwiches too.

I finally picked up a Food Mill, because I'm running out of other kitchen impulse buys (and I am also sick of scrubbing soups through a fine-mesh strainer using a large spoon to make it smooth). What should I process through this thing? Edit: Meant to post in the dumb questions thread. Here, for relevance. I saw these but wouldn't even feed them to my dog, even if they DO support the "Git R Done" foundation (whatever that is) EVG fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 14, 2015 |

Rehydrate dried chiles, chop roughly, and put through food mill for super-easy chile paste. I use that as the base for all of my chili-type concoctions, even the ones with beans in them.

I hosed up my dinner and it ended up being actually better I had a dutch oven of beans (black, great northern?, and pinto mixed - I was using up the bottoms of bags in my cupboard) on the go at about 240 F and forgot about them when I had to rush off to work. They stayed in there, covered, with a chunk of pork shank for almost 4 hours longer than they should have. They were dry when I got back, with chestunut brown residue on the bottom - almost but not quite burned. I threw enough water into them to let em rehydrate and to deglaze the pan, and let em simmer for 1/2 hr or so in the dutch oven again.. The pork is loving great. The beans are amazingly nutty and delicious tasting. I'm going to start doing this deliberately. It's like I cooked em, toasted them, roasted them, browned them, and then recooked them.

I don't have numbers to back this up, but my gut says an insulated oven with internal heating element is more energy efficient than a slow cooker with a heating element strapped to the bottom. I also believe that my oven, which can operate at 500+ degrees for hours without starting the house on fire is at least as safe running all day @ 225 as a 1500-W kitchen appliance made of the cheapest parts by the cheapest labor. dutch ovens 4 lyfe taqueso fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jan 15, 2015 |

That's true for electric ovens I guess. I'm sure as poo poo not leaving a gas oven on all day while I go to work, though.

I read the most absurd one the other day. Someone was arguing that we shouldn't fluvax because the flu is actually good for us. You see in reality it's just the body getting rid of weak cells which is why we should just all let it be. Everyone stop research on HIV and ebola and whatever, let it be, it's good for us to get rid of cells or something

The real tragedy is that it's not the anti-vaxxers who suffer, it's their innocent children. Although, as monstrous as this makes me sound, if a child dies from an illness that could've been prevented through vaccinations, at least that ignorant parent's bloodline is no longer being propagated.

As monstrous as this sounds on top of that, the loss of herd immunity is actually way worse than the risk to the children who aren't vaccinated. Kids who were vaccinated are getting measles now in the UK because a critical mass of their classmates are unvaccinated.

Quoting this for emphasis, and to add that the unvaxed kids are mutating measles, which is why vaxed kids are getting it. Also, I'm sad I wasn't home earlier and missed this conversation

Speaking as a bleeding heart, tree hugging socialistic humanist. gently caress anti-vaxxers! gently caress them right in their squeaky clean, high colonic detoxed buttholes with an elephantine morning wood hard chlamydia-poxed dick. They should be denied healthcare for imposing disease on the world.

I think the most frustrating part is that they will cite science only when it's convenient for their argument but when it contradicts (which is pretty much all the time) they say it was a payoff or conspiracy or some other such poo poo.

My girlfriend was raised in a horrible, hippy-dippy cult. Thankfully, she was never anti-vax (her kids got all their shots), but for some reason she was afraid of getting a flu shot. Once I explained to her how herd immunity works, she went right out and got one. Gets it every year now. Good Girl.
