Squashy Nipples posted:poo poo... Here I was, hoping that it was just the first two that I had met. It is. Aside from their hideously malformed and destroyed feet, if you dont get one thats too tall and too skinny you can find great looking ones. I am married to one who looks drat good naked, with amazing legs, great butt and a solid upper body. How I lucked into this I do not know.

Iron Chef Ricola posted:Roux-thickened sauces taste like flour if you don't cook them for 20 minutes. 20 minutes? 10-12 for a blonde roux, which doesnt taste like flour at all.

Iron Chef Ricola posted:Sorry you don't know what flour tastes like I guess. Next time you make a roux-thickened sauce, pull some of it off after 10 minutes and the rest after 20-30 and compare them. I guess not... I have always gone 12 minutes on the roux and then moved on with the sauce. Never had any complaints. I will try taking longer next time.

SubG posted:Yeah, I've used USAA for lots of other poo poo, just never for their mortgage services. I know from previous discussion that a surprisingly high number of the rest of the GWS inner cabal seems to be USAA members as well, so I figured I'd ask. One of the reasons being that I've had nothing but good experiences with them, but one of the stories that got mentioned in here was about someone getting grief for a car claim or something like that, so...just asking. I used to work there. The banking side of things is fine, they are cmoparable to other lenders, although since its not a public company they can decide to be as safe or as risky as they want (protip: they play it pretty safe). They pride themselves on being a great customer service company, but they are running on fumes right now. The old atmosphere there is gone and the its just "SELL SELL SELL, gently caress our members. Sell them poo poo." Its kind of sad. Its one of the reasons my brother and I left there. They brought in an outside Exec, Bob Davis, and he destroyed the companies culture. His follow up, Joe Robles, seems to think the same way Bob did. So dont be surprised if the service beigns to fall off in the next few years as they outsource drat near everything now. But you should be just fine for a mortgage.

mindphlux posted:doing my second-ever attempt at peking duck. did the whole 9 yards pricking and scalding the skin, hung it using a meathook (hilariously the first time I've really used my meathook for anything other than hanging bags of onions, despite owning it like 3 years), lacquered it with vinegary sugary glaze - and it's in the fridge drying the gently caress out. Did you separate the skin from the meat? Normally they blow air inside to inflate it like a balloon, but you can kind of run your hands along the meat unde the rbeast like a turkey to get at least the crispy breast skin. My buddy uses a motorcycle tire mini travel compressor, they are like 40-50 bucks.

Chef De Cuisinart posted:I can't speak for restaurants, as I've not really worked outside of the hotel environment. But most people that work for hotels are lifers. They're there for the guaranteed raises, and benefits. Our waiters have been here 10+ years. Hell, our busser is salary capped at $20/hr, AND he gets tipped out by the waiters at the end of the day. Yeah I'm going to go ahead and say you should tip better.

I have triangle plates because I was on a budget and that poo poo was on massive sale (because no one wants them!) which worked out perfectly for me. I think I paid like. 62 cents each for 10 inch triangle plates. Don't judge me!

I wonder if doing it with a suckling pig as a special would freak enough people the gently caress out would be worth it. Serve it on a trash can lid to piss off the no plate people as well.

WanderingMinstrel I posted:Speaking of mid-tier restaurants, is there some kind of weird trend with not giving people water by default anymore? Its driving me crazy the amount of places I'm going where apparently that's just not a thing they do. Water conservation, yo. Also they don't waste a glass on you if you don't ask for the water.

Drink and Fight posted:Campari is vile and awful and literally the worst thing I've ever drunk. You Campari-likers are insane. I mean I'm not down to just chug it straight but it's an excellent flavoring agent for cocktails. (Fernet Branca is my amaro of choice for chugging) Or just shove it into a mix of fresh squeezed OJ and some soda water. loving brilliant! I mean I understand that some people won't ever like it. It's bitter as gently caress and too much of it can be overpowering if you don't like it. I actually like it though so I'm good to go. I have other things to be ashamed of not liking. Like squash. I hate loving squash. It has to be prepared by myself to my exact texture specifications for me to enoy it.

Drink and Fight posted:Nah I've had negronis and I've had it just in oj but that awful bitter aftertaste is detectable no matter what you try to cover it with. A negroni with aperol is delicious though. Bourbon is my joint. I'm a Bulleit rye and Eagle Rare fan. But I also stock Basil Hayden's, Blantons and my go to mixer The Old Overholt (which is the loving tits) at my house. Have you ventured into barrel aged rums? There are some fantastic 16+ year rums out there for dirt cheap.

Chef De Cuisinart posted:serious kitchen remodel would involve: a fridge that takes sheet pans on a rack, a 24in flat top, 4 burners, a combi oven, a 1500W microwave, 2 deeeeeeeeeeep sinks, and a commercial dishwasher. and a deep freezer with racks on a roller system. Uhh.. Triple sink, best sink. Also seconding my next house will have a loving floor drain and that white indestructible plastic poo poo on the walls. Also no cabinets. Just steel tables with wire racks. Kitchens don't need to be loving pretty. They need to be able to be hosed down with a god drat pressure washer and not care. Edit: also where in your plan does the deep fryer go?

SubG posted:Yeah, that's a basket. And my point is that you're not getting anything out of putting produce in it over just stacking it or some poo poo, apart from presentation. Which I don't particularly care about. What I want is something that works more like those stackable plastic storage bins, only wire or something like that. Or I don't know what the gently caress. I mean I garden and I subscribe to a CSA thing and all that so I probably have somewhat more produce lying around on a regular basis than average, but it still seems like there ought to be better countertop options than the usual holds-a-couple-oranges-and-an-apple things. Corner shelving unit! http://www.amazon.com/ORE-International-NS2-32-3-Shelf-Bathroom/dp/B00A34GP0C/ref=pd_sim_sbs_469_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1FVQNQDBQBNCXQDS1QRG This one has adjustable heights for things. Yeah it's for the shower normally but who the gently caress is going to know that? We are putting a larger one in our kitchen in an unused corner for storage of poo poo I don't want on my counter all the time like the kitchenaid and various appliances.

SubG posted:That product page is a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. There's exactly two sizes of the thing, and they don't stack or anything. I mean I'm not saying they're bad or anything. But I open my pantry and I've got modular shelving and cambros in a bunch of different sizes that neatly tetris together. I go out to my garage and I've got modular draws and cabinets and a loving pegboard where I've got a half dozen different kinds of hooks and attachments and so on for all shapes and sizes of poo poo, from tiny rear end wrenches to bigass k-body clamps, and I've got random shelves hooked up to the same system. But for some reason for my kitchen counter---where space is way the gently caress more at a premium than just about anywhere else in the house---I've only got things that feel like half-assed kludges. Dude I linked you adjustable corner shelves. They rock.

GrAviTy84 posted:bleh, 2nd rental in a row now where we've been nice and settled and then the landlord calls and wants to sell our house. On the one hand, it's kind of nice, my commute is an hour right now and it'd be great to cut that down. OTOH, we haven't really been all that frugal since I got an adultjob so we don't really have much of a downpayment saved. Two landlords wanting to sell is leaving a really bad taste and we kinda just want to buy this time. Esp because both of us are in more long term positions. So now I guess we have to figure out where between Pomona and Loma Linda is a nice area to live that isn't going to be crimeland (San Bernardino, Colton, Fontana) and isn't going to be a ton of money (Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Chino Hills). Corona?
