pr0k posted:now you know why i don't post You people fill me with sadness. I really liked when we had the predecessor of COOK OR DIE!! when a poster made a series of different dishes based on a theme, then subsequent posters added their own items. If I recall correctly, I did a few variants on cold pasta salads. The mega threads dominate the front page. New recipie threads are nearly extinct. There's precious few tales of sexual debauchery in the chat thread. If only this place holds on until I get my wood fired pizza oven built... (Coming, spring of 2014)

But you did, and have done so for some time. e: Meant to be a reply to Pr0k. Move on, I have. I have better things to care about than GWC arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uGmFeawkRw Baby started crawling last week, and was in my office today, (crawled here from the other end of the hallway) My office is full of tools (like car and air con repair stuff), old PCs and audio gear etc, so was more worried about that today than anything here. e:I don't really care that much if americana mid western style cuisine fill the forums really, as long as we have Mrs Gunderson to guide us, what could go wrong?

Noooo pr0k don't stuff it. Cook your stuffing separately so as to lower the risk of pathogens and/or overcooking your bird.

Plus, you won't get that nice crunchy top if you stuff it. You only get uniform goo with periodic wads of coagulated protein goo. (Isn't it dressing and not stuffing when not actually stuffed in a dead critter cavity?)

My family always called it dressing regardless of whether or not it was in the bird. That's probably a Midwestern dialect thing, though.

You guys wanna stop bitching and maybe post poo poo. TIA. We have a new NICSA, a new COD, and two other new threads in two days. It's not amazing but it's a start, and certainly more than it has been for a long rear end time. I pm'd Azn sensation. How long should I give him until we move to the next in line to host ICSA?

It's not just Gourd, or Happy Hat. I haven't seen a lot of old regulars post in a long time. Charmmi, Worldmaker, PF, and Halal off the top of my head. anyway, Vegetable Melange is next in line for ICSA hosting, I haven't heard from Azn Sensation. Are you interested VM?

When I used to read GWS, people would post recipes with pictures and an explanation of the process. Some people posted pretty nice pictures, that was a bonus. Then it gradually got competitive and insidery and weird until people were getting mad about recipes that weren't spectacular enough or photos that weren't professionally staged and things kind of fell apart from there. It's a shame, because I got some good and/or fun and/or easy recipes and tips from this forum for a while! It would be cool if it ever gets back to just being a chill cooking subforum that everybody can participate in.

Not to mention that they both happened after these policies were implemented and are, therefore, not exactly a good demonstration that these policies were warranted or effective. PJX was a good mod. Didn't post. Didn't moderate. Moderating a forum you post in is usually a bad idea. Always goes to your head eventually. pr0k fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Oct 24, 2013 |

I like that GWS feels more open now, but I do miss the recipe threads. I've seen a few where the first reply was just "why didn't you put this in X megathread", maybe we can stop doing that. The individual recipe threads are great to encourage people to try something they might not have made. Maybe stop posting any recipes in the what did you have for dinner thread? If you want to post a recipe, make a thread. I like the cuisine megathreads though, the Chinese thread is awesome and more of those would be great. e: Also this is just personal opinion not Mod Opinion.

EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:I'm sorry dino. I hope everything goes alright. I remember the one time I went to Souper Salad it was in Boston in the 1990s. We all got our salads and soups or whatever and then sat down, not far from the salad bar area. There were a few of us, and we were very hungover and stoned, but eventually someone noticed out that this one lady was loving wrecking the salad bar. We watched her, very carefully and slowly, load about 4 pounds of salad onto her tiny salad bar plate that was made to hold a few ounces of salad. She had carefully made a supporting latticework base out of everything large and stiff, like celery sticks, effectively increasing the diameter of her plate to twice it size and then basically made a bowl out of other semi-rigid things like firm greens and then filled the bowl she'd made with all the premium items like grilled chicken and cherry tomatoes and boiled eggs. She was Asian. That's not important except that I found out a couple years later that this was an art form that had been introduced in (I think) S. Korea when Pizza Hut had opened franchises there that had single trip salad bars. There was a whole web site about it where people were posting their estimated dollar values for their 2 dollar single-trips. Some of them were like 30 or 40 dollar estimated values. People were literally grocery shopping at Pizza Hut. edit: and whatever's up with dino's boy, I hope is temporary and not awful?

Yeah, it's divorce (which was mutual, and about two weeks ago), and I found out day before yesterday that he's moving into the college's dorms, and that I've got until the 31st to gently caress off from here to another place. When I told my boss, he point blank said, "Just come stay with me until December if you want to" (at which point I'm going back to FL for a semester of classes to finish my degree). When he did give me such a small window in which to sort my stuff out, I basically said, "OK, time to split the remaining cash, to get off of each other's credit cards, and for me to open up a separate bank account". So we did all that. So I got home last night, and started making dinner (as I've done pretty close to every night for the past seven years). And he says, about when I'm halfway in, that he's already eaten, and to just get myself something. About an hour later, he says he needs to get things done, and would rather do so in his dorm room, so see you tomorrow or something. It was gently caress-off cold. Was complaining in the gay irc room, and Eponine (from the gay thread) said to call her if I needed to talk. I did, and we talked for like an hour or so. I managed to get to sleep around midnight. I was going to drown my emotions in copious amounts of gin, but then I realised that I'd then feel like crap emotionally /and/ physically in the morning (and I still need to get to physical therapy and work in the AM), so vetoed that idea. Instead I had /a/ gin and tonic, and about a half glass of wine before calling it quits. Fortunately, I have been ruthlessly getting rid of pretty drat near everything I own, so the actual move (be it to my boss's house, or an apartment share situation) will mean packing it all into one (large) suitcase, hailing a cab, and then getting to where I need to go. It sucks endlessly, but what do you do, right? I'm just glad we decided to end it now, when we still do love each other, and are amenable to just going our separate ways without having anything more entangled.
