Whatever you do, do not spread. It turns a bit of harmless fun into an explicit and uncomfortable act.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Probably not the fault of the fat. As an experienced fucker-up of yorkshire puds, I'll talk you through the autopsy: Yeah I assumed it'd be user error rather than the fat. I went for a single big pud and cooked it in a frying pan (in the oven of course), it browned nicely and bubbled out in several spots, but was generaly flat. It wasn't stodgy, a thick pancake is definitely how I'd describe it, and the crust of it was quite firm and solid. No sticking. I did use half and half liquids, but I also used strong bread flour cos that's all I had so that must have had some effect. I'm guessing that caused the firmer, crunchier texture? and also I only whipped it with a fork, so like you said I probably didn't get enough air into it. Oh and the oven was probably a bit too low cos it was in with other stuff. Thanks for the autopsy (aupudsy?), I was pretty pleased overall anyway!

It also seems there's been an echo of the effect in the US where 'Christmas music' is what boomers grew up with, so it's all from the 50s and 60s, but in this case it's millennials and the 80s and 90s.

Yeah my top 5 this week is probably just whatever shite comes up on Apple Music's Christmas playlist most often. Mariah Carey is the first song on it so that probably accounts for 60% of its chart success.

Merry Christmas comrades. Had to cancel the parents for obvious reasons, so had the first Christmas I’ve ever had without family (at age 39). It’s been a good one. Cooked my first ever Christmas dinner (roast beef, garlic mashed sweet potatoes, cauli cheese and roasted sprouts+carrots) and it all came out okay/amazing, even with the beef being a bit more done than I normally like. Got a friend across from Sheffield who’s in a similar boat to share the grub with, the fire is going and we’re all approaching a food stupor.

Yeah those big-pancake ones are actually pretty nice, I'm never sad when they come out like that. In fact they're closer to the original Yorkshire pudding concept, which was a big one cooked fairly slowly at the bottom of the oven with fat dripping from the roast, with the idea you'd have it as a starter to fill you up on on nice cheap flour and eggs so you ate less of the expensive meat.

Experimenting with a beer can roast chicken tonight. Hope I don't gently caress it up! ^ NB for doing roasts and especially a meat thermometer is game changing. Also for steaks doing a reverse sear, where you get it to the right level of doneness in a not very hot oven and then crisp the outside over very high heat, is another game changer. So much easier. E: chicken

Guavanaut posted:whereas in the before times they'd buy 20 Christmas Classics on CD from Poundland and it wouldn't go on the singles chart. Speak for yourself, loser. I have impeccable musical taste and would never stoop to buying novelty Christmas song shite. My musical taste is so good I'm listening to Mansun right now. I did actually buy a novelty Christmas song this year, but my musical taste is so good, it was a vinyl import.

Pablo Bluth posted:It is a truth universally acknowledged that big dogs are superior to small dogs. Counterargument:   Also, they need to ask to get on your bed for a cuddle and are unlikely to break your femurs once they're up there, the amount of time it takes to get them dry after a rainy walk is measured in minutes rather than hours (or days), and they can't just put their paws on your kitchen counter and inhale your Sunday roast.

I've drank and ate enough that it feels like time for bed already. Also based on the mix of red wine, coffee, and stout I've drank I'm expecting an extremely powerful movement in my near future.

Sprouts are one of them. Wife and I have filthy colds. I don’t even feel like drinking. Speaking of which, there is a brewery near me which does amazing ginger beer: normal beer with a shitload of ginger added. God, it’s delicious. I order online and then it’s about a 6-minute bike ride to collect it. They do deliver. It’s umbrella brewing.

I did my sprouts with carrots and bacon, and covered them in a mix of olive oil, honey, six cloves of garlic and some chilli flakes (same nuclear ones I use in the choc-chilli fudge), then bunged them in the oven. They were loving sublime and now it’s like the second battle of Ypres in here.
