Yeah
Last Tuesday was TAYLORBORDAY.
And they microwaved it.
That’s the most plausible.
Yes!
Hygiene is so woke. Real men open their sluices at both ends.
Today was a good day
Set up and ready to go.
227 technically but everyone uses 250.
If you'll all excuse me, I have to go help set up for the Nanaimo, Duncan and District Labour Council annual Labour Day Picnic at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith. Free hotdogs, chips and drinks if you're in the area. Also, a bouncy castle, a band and speeches. Happy Labour Day to all!
Uncharacteristically humble.
The woke part of the logo change just keeps going over my head.
Shucks. The Sally's Baking Addiction pie crust calls for putting cold tap water and ice cubes in the fridge for ten minutes then using as little as humanly possible of that water. It's like reading the Voynich Manuscript.
No I did not but lady, you've got a way with words.
Have you ever read the sodium on a Clamato label? I can't remember exactly but it's utter madness. Then there's the rim.
Sounds like awaiting replacement.
Okay but if “DC IS CRIME FREE” he must be dead, right? Due to him being the biggest cri—- ok you get it
Thank you. Every time it's slightly different and this one came out aces!
Thank you very much. I'm so flattered at how it's been received. My notifications have been a giant psychic hug today.
Following it to the bleeding letter. Baking is so hard.
It's really monstrous. A willful corruption of every system.
You have two liter bottles but 12oz cans? I didn't know that.
There's a very large ocean between Australia and the US. I can see Washington State from only a few kilometers (huh, huh?) from my house.
Non oven temperatures are celsius, ovens are fahrenheit People are measured by the foot and pound almost exclusively Food is advertised in pounds, sold in kilos It's all very confusing
As this is my first ever pin, I'm beyond flattered but this quote post of the thread with the approximate recipe attached might be a better skeet to pin. bsky.app/profile/stra...
Oh yeah. Canadian is a weird dialect where one switches between metric and imperial randomly and without consistency. 275F. It's a braise, not a pizza.
They'll just realize they really liked being able to just bitch all day, bitch on Fox all night and fundraise off how shitty the other guys are. It's a dream life in many ways.
It remains my favorite movie setting.
You absolutely could. I watched an hour long show on the butter from Val-d'Aosta in Italy once. I was spellbound.
Gotta wear a Go Pro next time. That's gold!
Neat. We use magnetic lifters at my work and they're amazingly strong. It's an uncommon hobby you have but it looks fun and rewarding.
I gotta move to Europe. I think I'd do well in Normandy.
Any chance of a clear shot of your magnet setup?
I have some mulling to do. Thanks and good conversation.
Brittany, Walla Walla Washington, Bermuda, Vidalia Georgia are the most notable that I know of.
There's people called Onion Johnny's who cycle around northern France and southern England selling Brittany sweet onions and there's some antiquated traditions I hope never die. Sweet onions are really cool. It's not just (or at all, maybe) the species, it's that the soil is entirely free of sulfur.
Thanks. It's my favorite and most requested of the complex meals.
That's a good design but adornment is not my style.
I think Calvin painted himself into a corner viz-a-viz "How could God be perfect if he didn't concern himself with the flight of every sparrow?" It ends up creating epicycles on epicycles to explain the evidence of peoples' eyes. The universe imho is unfeeling and we're motes on a pale blue dot.
seeks individual advantage. Fame, wealth, power and other reward structures are making the idea of individual advantage more prevalent than they should be but that doesn't make us evil any more than behaving socially makes us good. As far as the Baptist and its kindred Calvinist belief goes,..
I think it's a false dichotomy. We are a social animal. Life is generally easier/better if we work together. The implied you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours predates our speciation as humans as is evident in other animals. The apple cart gets upended when an anti social member of the group...
One of it's better iterations. Thanks!

Finally, add some cilantro unless you’re one of those extremely wrong people and some naan and you’re in for a treat.
Okay, here's the recipe. Sorry it's a screenshot of a Word file.
See that darkened top. That’s pure concentrated flavor. That gets mixed in.
Get caught up. You deserve the endorphins.
Been busy. Did I miss anything?
Really sorry to hear. I hope it doesn’t cripple you financially. Vets have gotten brutally expensive.

Come on kitty. Puke. Maybe put an expensive rug in front of her.
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmm
you’ll know if the president buys the farm because really weird shit will start happening in the crypto markets out of nowhere at least three or four hours before anybody says anything publicly
Pretty good

I’ve never thought of that. Cool.
Thank you.
Have a drink and relax.
A couple of answers before they’re asked. I will quote post the beginning of this thread with a picture of the recipe I mostly followed later. I’ve never made it exactly the same in the 20 years I’ve been making it. It’s more yellow than you’re used to because I use more turmeric.
When it’s nearly at a boil, pop it into a 275 degree oven with the lid cracked for 2 or so hours.This will a) give some evaporation and reduction b) create a skin of maillard reaction goodness that can be periodically stirred in for even greater flavor. More later when it comes out.
Finally, add another 1/4 cup of butter and a good amount of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) and combine.
Here’s where I cheat a little so I get as much as possible. I add some chicken stock to fill the pot then sift 1/4 cup of flour as a thickener. Mix that in.
Add in the chicken yogurt spice mix and stir in 2 28oz cans of diced tomatoes, mostly drained, and bring to a high simmer.
Garlic and ginger added and the smell is heavenly
When the onions are soft and getting a blush of color, add freshly microplaned garlic and ginger and cook for a few more minutes. This is two big pieces of ginger and three cloves of Russian Red garlic. Use as much or as little as you like.
Is that a lot of onion? You’re goddamn right. I read in Saveur once that a Breton Frenchman wakes up and fries a big pan of onions then decides what he will make that day. It’s been my guiding principle since.
So far, the only salt in this is from the butter and since I’m using sodium free chicken stock and diced tomatoes, now is the time to add it.
Let’s start putting this together, shall we? Here’s 1.5 large sweet onions sautéing in our butter. I let the milk solids fry a bit in the fat to give it some richness.
And we’re back. Next step: ghee. Melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat in something with a wide base. This is the water component foaming and evaporating. That will leave us with milk fat and milk solids. We want the fat only.
Uh oh. Best of luck to all.
A little heat from the cayenne but big flavors particularly from the lime and cardamom.
I was hoping you’d find this. 😊
Whichever one is your favourite of course. I like basmati for this recipe. Made with chicken stock.
Hey look, it’s one hour since the first marinating, so add in your yogurt and spice mix, stir well and leave, refrigerated for at least another hour.
Take that and mix it into plain yogurt. You can use a 650gram tub or a larger one. Just make sure it’s not low fat (minimum 3.5%) and not Greek yogurt. I went with more because what doesn’t go in the chicken goes in a bowl. Garam masala yogurt should be in the stores.
Here’s our garam masala. I added turmeric and cumin because I am out of cumin seeds. Am I going to use all of this. Yes. Yes I am. This recipe has BIG flavor.
I really suck at threading. Sorry.
Step 4 or so: grind your spices. Why the tea strainer? Because you don’t want big chunks. Back into the grinder with them.
Holy cow, I forgot the almonds. So, I’m doing them now. They add body
Step 0: pick a good podcast. I recommend @worstpossible.world They’re great. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...
Leave them to cooler for a while then into the spice/coffee grinder.
Step 3: dry fry peppercorns, cinnamon stick, coriander and cloves to wake up their oils. Don’t let them burn. Part way through, add green cardamom pods, bay leaves and cumin seed. How much? You’re an adult, as much or little as you want.
Step 2: 4-5lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into chunks (4-6) per thigh. Large bite sized, they will shrink and or break down a bit. Marinate for about an hour.
Step 1: juice and pulp of six limes mixed with a heaping tablespoon of cayenne pepper.
It’s Butter Chicken day here at Chez Gregg. Follow along at home if you like. Photos to come. All measurements are variable and to taste.
If I may interlope a moment. The legislative branch is currently incentivized to allow this by their extremely high reelection rate. If they do nothing, it’s hard to attack their record. So, slough everything off to the king, er president. As always, it comes down to voter apathy. That appears over.
Where else would she find a man with such a massive, throbbing…temple vein.
Need to start a rumor about young kids disappearing into the WH and never coming out.

Happy birthday mate! 48 is a blast. You look far better than a film noir actor at 48.

You are the shareholder of your electrical utility. If your bill is set up like mine your first 1300kWh each cycle cost $0.12 which is about half what Californians pay. For that you get zero carbon electricity with great service. Public ownership absolutely rocks.
