Boneless skinless thighs are absolutely the way to go on the grill if you're doing chicken. I usually just season them up a bit and then hit them with BBQ sauce before taking them off the heat, but marinated would be great too. You can make absolutely sure they're cooked through but they're still moist and delightful when you pull them off.

I'd buy the Costco pulled pork and pan fry it in cast iron over a hickory fire. Then place on buttered griddle-toasted pretzel slider buns, sauce it with this stuff. Sides are cole slaw and a mixed veggies dish of your choice or maybe tater salad, doesn't even loving matter the pulled pork pretzel sliders will be all anyone talks about.

Oh man, I discovered that a local dairy makes and sells their own cheese curds, ice cream, and milk-whey vodka. And it's cheap! Totally going to die by dairy overload. Nice knowing you guys.

I've got a sous vide apparatus, so I puddle them to get them cooked through / kill any potential foodborne illness before tossing them on the grill. It turns out chicken can be a little pink and not kill you!

Had my 16 year old son take his car to the dealer for an inspection. They called it out for not having a cat and having one brake like not working (but it had working brake lights on both sides and the center). My son was excited though because they liked his car, even tried to buy it from him he said.... The top exhaust is the one they failed. That's not a cat, it's a resonator, but I'm surprised regardless they called it out. The bottom is what we stole off my car to pass it.    I told him after "Son, they were trying to sucker you into selling the car." He's learning... trouser chili fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Aug 24, 2020 |

If you’re going chicken or lamb, consider doing a gyros/shawarma style meal. I LOVE to use the Lebanese garlic sauce, Toum. It’s amazing. Babish has an excellent tabouleh recipe on his site. Add some pickles, some pickled turnips, some pita bread and some home style fries. I like to eat it as a plate, but you can also make it into a wrap.

I listed my daughter's loft bed on craigslist this morning, immediately got a text wanting to buy "the item". Instant red flag. They politely asked if "can come by today to get". Then they said they want to send me a code to prove it's a real ad. Second red flag. I didn't know what was up so I googled "craigslist code scam". It can be anything that uses a code for verification, they sign up, the service sends you the code, and if you give it to them you now have a google voice account or anything else that uses a 2 step verification via phone. While I was googling he sent "so can I send the code?" and I replied "No, gently caress you." It was very satisfying. Next person is supposed to show up in an hour to get it. We'll see if they bring a truck like the ad said, or if they show up in an MR2. I sold a 32" CRT TV once and the guy showed up in a god drat Chevy Cavalier 4 door. But he crammed in in the back seat, much to my surprise. It had like 1/2" clearance after squishing the seat foam down. Slidebite: Ever do game hens? They're cute, it's like a personal chicken.

The seller was gobsmacked when I did. You can also move an entire dining room table and chairs with a Miata. But I don't recommend it.

Sometimes I get asking price for poo poo that really isn't worth it, that's why I always start at a high price for a week or two because you never know. Some guy bought my worn out webber kettle grill for the same price I paid for it probably five years earlier, so I got to use a grill five years for free!

Also it helps weed out the lowballers most times. I can't tell you how many $100 offers I got on my perfectly good Explorer just because I was selling it for $1000. I took it down and put it back up the following week for $2000 and I had cash in my hand within an hour.

I have no luck trying to give poo poo away because people decide my time is worthless and just flake on me, so I list it for 20 bucks and if they put money in my hand so be it, otherwise I just give it to them anyways. So far I have sold an end table and a bed frame for 20 bucks each when I would have been perfectly happy giving them away free. Trying to sell a few things now and mostly just getting CL scammers. I guess I'll cut the price down a little, I had it set a few hundred high just to see if anyone would bite.

It's always one extreme or the other with CL. I don't use FB and don't have any experience with it. Today I gave away a pile of old car/moto lead acid batteries and sold a twisted up rover bumper I've been tripping over for about 6 years now for a couple hundred bucks. I lost my parking bollard however I don't have to move that god damned thing around one more time. It's usually a shitshow to sell things. Sometimes, it isn't. Generally if the item isn't worth much and is a hassle to sell I'll give it away.

I guess I could ask the Mrs. to give it a crack but I can't see that happening.I did however buy a sous vide gizmo. I like the idea of basically cooking the chicken in a marinade and then a quick sear to give it some char and flavor. I might make my virgin use of it that night, but it sounds pretty straight forward. Which reminds me, those of you that use a sous vide unit, how do you know when it's done? Like, how long do you know to cook it for?

carfax is bullshit anyways. It's only as good as its data sources and it's trivial to hide stuff from it if you want to. Hell, my white Comanche has a clean carfax and I personally drove it into the back end of a Camry in 2010 or 2011, can't remember which. They claimed against my insurance and everything. I didn't though, so the hit never showed up on my car's record. I didn't even mean to hide that accident from carfax and yet I succeeded. And I've seen a ton of super sketchy cutnshut body work on severely wrecked cars that entirely didn't show up on the carfax. So basically as far as I'm concerned, you're either willing to pay for a PPI, or do your own inspection if you are capable, or you should just stop wasting the sellers time. Oh, another thing. You know how people say to never add up your project costs? I have under 3500 dollars into the Honcho build right now, not including axle builds (I was tracking this for LS swap cost reasons, not whole build) or fluids since it needed all the PM done when I bought it anyways. That's including buying the truck. I could get used to this kind of pleasant surprise, I was sure it was gonna be like 5 grand or more when I added it all up. It'll probably be around 6-7 when I finish the axles, and around 7-9 after tires

Yeah i had a festiva that had plowed someone in the rear end hard. yet the carfax was fine. There wasn't a straight piece of metal beyond the firewall, and even the firewall itself was lovely. It was the car that had a BP dropped into it, hence being a $500 pos. As for tracking vehicle costs? HAHAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The ktm is the cheapest vehicle in the fleet including initial cost and 3 years of running it. You know its bad when...

I've been out of the racing game game since NFS Carbon and had bought NFS Heat on sale. It was definitely fun and I got a taste of where racing games had gone in the last 14 years, but gently caress me I should've skipped it knowing how much better FH is.

Facebook marketplace has been really good for me. I've sold and bought all sorts of poo poo ranging from cables, to computer parts to cars and mostly had nothing but good times, except wankers that DON'T reply to my messages that I WANT TO BUY YOUR WIDGET NOW! Made some good friends into the same hobbies along the way to which is neat. In fact I'm waiting for a bloke to come over and buy one of my old servers and the name was familiar. Turns out it's a dude from schools little brother I haven't seen in maybe 20 years.

I haven't used Craigslist in a while, have had mostly success of fb marketplace other than the constant "Is this item still available" messages. People are flakey as hell though, I'm probably around 10% of people who say they'll show up actually showing up. Like a few have mentioned first one that shows up with any amount of money gets it in most cases. The trade offers are always fun too, in the south it's mostly guns and beat to poo poo dirt bikes.

CL is a waste of time and FB Marketplace is eating it alive. You still can get scammers on FB but it is harder to keep making accounts compared to CL. It is usually easier to spot scammers in FB as they have little to no activity and it has only been going on for a short amount of time.

If it makes you feel any better, they still haven't posted about it on their social media accounts. They posted video of it understeering quite badly on another corner and mentioned such but that's it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CESEUQmHXkN/ It was pulled out of the railing and taken back to the car park for repairs, the thing basically wouldn't start or recognise that it was in gear and several hours later and on pulling and swapping many fuses the problem was found. Swapping out a working low range fuse for whichever particular one had blown and it was rolling again. Offside structure had taken a battering, light was smashed but still worked and the bumper has definitely seen better days but it was back on the track before closing to confirm it was safe to drive the dozen or so miles back to the workshop. Seems like hustling a large brick of a Range round a track with just RWD is a poor idea.

You get a few hours' flexibility though, which is a lot more than you do with traditional cooking methods. slidebite posted:
There are some rough rules of thumb based on what kind of meat it is and what the thickness is, e.g. https://www.amazingfoodmadeeasy.com/info/modernist-cooking-blog/more/sous-vide-cooking-times-by-thickness I usually just google "Serious Eats [food name] sous vide" and find that J.
