Well that's disappointing, more and more I can see why people lose faith in voting when nobody represents your views.

I hope at least Kier says enough sexist and racist things to get elected by the general public and maybe he'll be a little bit less poo poo than Boris but I'm not hopeful.

Either way just delaying the inevitable.

Of course he’s in extremely good spirits, it’s either that or be an extremely good spirit.

for gently caress sake it's not like it would materially improve the world by any significant amount it'd just be funny and thoroughly deserved if he died but this world can't give us even so tiny and measly a piece of good things happening :negative:

How do you get your pork belly so crispy, mine always either comes out burned or without delicious crackling?

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
The clap on my mum's estate consisted of: three minutes of random beating of kitchen utensils, followed by a solitary firework, followed by a loud broadcast of 'The Last Post' followed by a broadcast of 'We'll Meet Again'. This is totally beyond parody

Do you salt it?

You want to score it and then put salt in it, you need the fat to come out to crisp it but also the salt helps dessicate it.

Slice it into 1 inch thick strips, boil it for ten minutes in water with a tablespoon each of white vinegar and salt, pat dry with some paper towel, deep fry for 5 mins on each side, take it out for a few minutes, fry again for 1.5 mins each side. Then let it cool before you eat it. Bit of a faff, but absolutely worth it.

Deep frying is cheating but yes I imagine it does work :v:

E:^^^^ yeah, if I was roasting it I'd score and salt the skin for crackling, deep frying is a bit cheating but holy god is it good

how exactly do I deep fry something on only one side?

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

I assume that's deep fry it and then shallow fry it.

Or get very good with a slotted spoon/remember to flip it if it floats.

I really have to say though that boiling fat in other fat so you can eat it has to be bourgeois somehow.

I ran out of oil and didn't quite have enough to cover all the pork



So I just turned it halfway through. If you are oil rich then I guess you wouldn't need to turn the pork belly

In terms of getting the fat to behave, the crucial bits are patting it dry before it gets going and keeping it well basted while it's cooking.

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

Yeah if you don't keep the fat covering it then the skin just goes rock hard and doesn't bubble and you break your teeth on it.

It's notable to me the people out clapping on my street are also generally the ones who are good people (even if there's a few Tories in there). I know people are sneering about it but it's genuinely a bit of a morale boost.

You can also chop it up real fine, mix it with olive oil and freeze it. I press it flat in freezer bags like that and then just break chunks off as I want to use it. Goes great in a potato salad or with new potatoes too.

Dog Therapy: Shockingly Good
Just heard a neighbour clapping for the first time. I'm hoping it was for the NHS and not Boris.

Also just finished re-reading Going Postal. Nothing like massive corporate scams to make you think of our government.

quote:

"The first domino had been steadied. The pillars of the world ceased to tremble. The Credit Bank would open in the morning, and when it did the so bills would be honoured, wages would be paid, the city would be fed.

They'd saved the city with gold more easily, at that point, than any hero could have managed with steel. But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look.

This is known as finance.”

quote:

“What a place! What a situation! What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.”
