I just discovered this restaurant supply store that kicks rear end only to find out that you need a membership to shop there and can't get a membership without owning a restaurant or food distribution license. Do what my mom did and create a fake restaurant so you can buy oysters at cost/a billion food service pans.

Just had Passover Seder at sister-in-law. Their two boys are a bit bratty and despite Leo trying to sleep upstairs don't seem to grasp concept of "quiet". They served orange and tomato soup ( fairly horrible, but I don't like orange flavour in much besides oranges, fresh orange juice, and orange sorbet), and matzagne. Yes, you heard right, friend: matzagne. Lasagne made with matzah instead of pasta. Not terribly, in edible nasty but nonetheless a crime against cooking. (We had wife's parents over last night for first night, very simple, just us four, and made lentil muck, Romano peppers roasted with Turkish pomegranate sauce, roasted broccoli with toasted almond, lemon and garlic dressing, and for dessert had coconut rice pudding with mango). dino, this one's for you! Our symbolic vegetarian substitute for the lamb shank on the Seder plate:

I have beef cheeks. They're whole and unlike how I usually get them, they appear to have a skin akin to tongue. Do I peel this skin/sinew off first like silverskin or do I cook and then peel more like tongue?

Half of it is cartilage or gelatin or something that melts into your braise juice pretty good

I've done a layered kind of matzah spanikopita pie before. But I wouldn't attempt a real lasagna. Our Seder was matzoh ball soup, duck breast in pomegranate sauce and latkes. We would have had a green vegetable, but I had awful morning sickness that lasted all day and didn't go shopping. We also had some Greek yogurt with apple and date charoset stirred in for afters. I used to be a vegetarian(before the pregnant thing) and ate some strange things, but I can't even imagine tomato and orange soup. Carrot and orange, I can see.

I've seen a few articles recently online and elsewhere about making shooter's sandwiches. I'd like to try it sometime, but it seems to me that you run a real risk of getting food poisoning considering how it's made. What do you guys think?

I dunno, I wouldn't worry about it, but I also don't really know what that step would add. If you want to make it to eat that same day, just do everything and leave it out for a couple hours for it to.... do whatever food magic it's supposed to be doing. A few hours isn't going to do much of anything to a cooked food item. If you're looking to make it and eat it for the rest of the week, I'd maybe just chuck it into the fridge pretty soon after pressing. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Mar 28, 2013 |

Is it illegal to actually purchase the homebrewing products, as in Amazon won't sell them to you? If you can buy them, I'd say go ahead and do it...unless you're afraid someone's going to snitch on you.

mindphlux posted:shooter's sandwiches? food poisoning? Yes, that's what I was asking about; should have been more specific. The only food magic going on here is the flattening process (which needs a lot of weight and is why you don't refrigerate it) and nothing more.

Beef is considered sterile inside the muscle, so you sear the outside, put it in a loaf of bread that should also be sterile. Yeah, it should be fine. People should really get up to date with foodborne pathogens and get out of that 1960s mindset on food safety.

Manuel Calavera posted:Well that's the kinda thing I meant, geez Artemis is funny stuff. You get to join the crew of the USS Nerdtastic on its maiden voyage through the stars. Along the way you'll be challenged by filthy pirates, spatial anomalies and possibly other nerd-crewed ships. You then get to do your best not to blow up as you engage in diplomacy or combat. The fun is that you each get a job to do, a workstation to use and then coordinate your efforts, just like a real starship. Here's a video of some folks in full regalia as they cruise the spaceways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72XhdVqDT1g It looks like a fun LAN game even if the goofuses above take it over the top with the outfits. Best of all, it's supposed to run on really lovely hardware for the individual workstations. It helps if you have a big tv / fast machine for the main server.

They recently added a modding system which is at the moment pretty bare-bones, but yeah you're at the very least going to be dealing with superficial star trek stuff like "science officer". It's pretty fun, though, and while if you know star trek it'll show (the game's creator is a gigantic trek  ) it's easy enough to play it and never think of star trek. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend it; it's a lot of fun if you get a few people together to crew a ship. Drinking is on a scale from 'recommended' to 'essential', and throwing a ship video up on a tv somewhere everyone can see it.

It's part of a trend I saw rising at PAX East this year: Local Multiplayer, ie, games you play with other people who are actually in the same room. Artemis is best when the Captain doesn't have his own terminal, just a main display screen while he paces back and forth giving his orders to the rest of the team. Team communication is just so much better in person then over Vent or Teamspeak. One of the other amazing local-mult games I played was CS Joust, which uses Playstation motion controllers, and is sort of impossible to describe. Go YouTube it. CS Joust is being packed together with 3 other local-mult games, and sold as Sportsfriends: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gutefabrik/sportsfriends-featuring-johann-sebastian-joust I sat in on a panel discussion with the authors, it was interesting. As someone who still plays NHL 94 2on2 online (yes, there is small but dedicated community of folks who play this with the network hack), I really can't wait to get my hands on Hokra. 2on2 local-mult is one of the best things ever!

A giant space fortress transforming into a giant robot and crushing opposing warships with it's giant aircraft carrier fist isn't silly? (fan of both series, just pointing out that "silly" was a poor choice of words here)

As in Johann Sebastian. This is not mindless pedantry, the Brandenburg Concertos are a major part of gameplay (you could, in theory use any music that sounds good at random tempos, but I've never heard of it being run off anything but Bach). I'd seriously consider buying a full setup for it, if a full setup didn't run close to 500 dollars (8 Move controllers, a bluetooth hub). (EDIT: Apparently the intended retail version for up to 7 doesn't require the bluetooth hub? Still going to cost about 300...) Test Pattern fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Mar 30, 2013 |
