Try cooking the rice in a stock of your choice (vegetable, beef, etc) for extra flavor.

I don't know if you guys have ever made fried rice but use day old rice or at least rice made in the morning if you're cooking at night. It'll fall apart if you try to use fresh rice. IMO, the best fried rice is made with whatever leftovers you have in your fridge. I've got a pot of mac and cheese in the slow cooker now and I made a huge batch of chili last night. I think I made it too spicy.

I've taken to keeping a bag of frozen peas & carrots on hand and just adding it to everything I make. Adds a nice subtle bit of flavor, helps me get some kind of veggies when I'm eating garbage (like the rice and canned chili I'm eating right now  ).I do try and cook something good every once in a while, though. Also cook all your rice/pasta with chicken broth (or 50/50 of stock and water) instead of plain water, everything tastes better. And toss a pat of bacon fat in there too.

I don't care for chili to be so hot that you can't taste anything other than molten lava; I like to taste the ingredients I put into my chili thank you very much. That said, there is still some heat to my recipe, courtesy of the chipotle peppers I use - enough to make me sweat after eating a bowl. Also, I'm just going to say that soupy chili is the worst chili. I want to be able to stick a spoon in it and have it stand on its own.

Ended up doing it through the mortage advice bureau. Was loads easier and quicker. They're an independent broker so I had loads of choice and got a better deal too (the rates were really high when I bought my house and they found me one that raped me slightly less for fewer years than the deal from the bank) There are few financial related people I have been happy to deal with but the lady who did my mortgage was great. It also felt good when the guy I was dealing with at the bank finally rang me back to come in and sign stuff and I could tell him how loving useless he was because I'd done the whole process with someone else and was now waiting on solicitors.

On food chat, I tried brussel sprouts for the first time last week, and they were good. I'd never avoided them, they're just one of those veggies I don't ever buy from myself, like cauliflower. Anyway, I made some tonight, roasted in the oven with olive oil, fresh garlic, salt and pepper and they were pretty drat good alongside the roasted potatoes and chicken I also made. But then, it seems like just about any veggie is good with those items roasted in the oven

go3 posted:This is why I'm staying home. Texas drivers and bad weather is practically suicide. Sandbagger SA posted:I'd be more concerned about the other drivers on the road than the weather. Turns out I'd make a lovely meteorologist. Roads were... okay during the day, went to absolute poo poo once the sun went down. And yeah, my concern was the other drivers. I lost count of how many times I had to dodge people who lost control trying to pass me (hey jackass, there's a reason I'm doing 30 in a 45, and I'm already passing most of the traffic at that speed, and only doing so because I know the limits of my car and tires). The worst was on my way home, a Blazer had been tailgating me, decided to try to pass me, stomped it, and did a 180 next to me. I had to swerve into the next lane, but since I actually did it without doing stupid poo poo like stomping on the gas, standing on the brakes, or yanking on the wheel as hard as I could, I avoided them easily (then did a slow  when they caught up to me at the next light, they refused to look in my direction for some odd reason).Had a BMW SUV blow past me doing about 70 (in a 60, I was doing ~50 since there were icy spots, but that was on a highway - 121 for DFW goons)... they learned a lesson about ice and bridges. Almost wound up wrong side up, but recovered once they hit the end of the bridge. Once all the slush re-froze I couldn't comfortably get above about 25 on major roads unless it was a heavily travelled road, 10-15 on side streets. Of course, I'm factoring in the fact that I don't have ABS or traction control into those speeds, and there were at least a half dozen times when I had to threshold brake to avoid some dipshit who decided "oh I can pull out right in front of that car, they can stop in time to avoid me!". And on ice, threshold braking turns into "well gently caress they locked up as soon as I hit that icy patch, better let up just a little, okay dry patch again, poo poo, locked up again when I hit that next icy patch". This is why I refuse to get a concealed carry permit, and also why I keep a dashcam in the car. I wound up working open to nearly close - i left the store at 8:45 (we close at 10 normally; closed at 9 tonight). We stopped taking deliveries several times through the day because we were just so overwhelmed, and switched over to carry out only at 8:30. I talked to my old boss at Pizza Hut, that franchise closed their stores at 6pm. I consider myself a pretty competent driver when it comes to the ice poo poo we get here, but I still managed to get stuck when I stopped for a red light on my way home, on flat ground no less. It took the full light cycle for me to inch 2 car lengths into the intersection, then I finally got traction as the other part of the intersection got a green light. Even starting in 2nd gear was just spinning the tires.  Apparently my car drank Red Bull, as it slowly grew wings through the day.   Pham Nuwen posted:That's how it was for her... for the last few years she would tend to forget to eat, or change her clothes, etc. The Alzheimer's started to become apparently about a decade ago, and when I last visited her ~6 years ago, I had my mom call her before I left my bedroom in the morning, because I wasn't sure she'd recognize me without a reminder. In the last year she started not even recognizing her children, and asking about her mom and dad because she thought it was 1940.  That's pretty close to what we saw in my grandmother as well, except she never got to where she was asking about her parents. She would often call me by my Uncle's name, my mom by my aunt's name, etc. What got her was a heart attack - IIRC she told the nurses her chest felt funny, then once the nursing staff figured out what was going on, once the ambulance showed up the paramedics argued with the nurses about taking her to a hospital.  Darchangel posted:I stayed home. I'm a computer janitor, they can live without me, and I have vacation time to burn. I was in the car all-loving-day, except for about an hour where it died down a bit. In and out nonstop, and once the sun went down and all the slush froze again, I couldn't comfortably get above 20-25 on most roads. Wound up swinging by Torchy's for dinner though, once I crossed into Allen the roads were great. Once I got back into Plano, they went to poo poo again. I was scheduled 35 hours this week. Today and tomorrow are (were) my days off. I put in 10 hours today, and I'm pretty sure they're going to try and call me in tomorrow (which will likely wind up being at least 5 hours). So unless they want to wind up paying 10+ hours of overtime, they either won't call me, or they'll have to drop at least one of my other shifts for the week. Plus I was hoping to start pulling all the network cable through the house tomorrow, even though I don't yet have a patch panel - I'll at least get it dropped into the walls and run back to the closet with several feet to spare, and of course label everything. I think I'll turn the ringer I feel lovely about making these mega-long posts every night, but my life is basically wake up, sometimes shower, go to work, come home, do the family bit and dinner, then spend an hour or two on the forums. I normally get a 30 minute break on opening shifts at work, and I finally have a decent laptop (and 3GB/month of tethering usage via T-Mobile), plus have a 3rd party home/car/airplane charger for said laptop (courtesy of meh.com -  plus $5 shipping), so I'll probably be able to start catching up a bit during my break. I have 3 scheduled opening shifts this week (plus the one I did today, but it was so busy I couldn't take a break), so... we'll see what happens.fake edit: just ordered a wall mountable 12 port patch panel from Amazon, along with a double gang low voltage cable plate to pass everything through the wall. It looks exactly like the one Monoprice sells for a bit less, and Monoprice sells the same cable plate for a bit less, but once you factor in Monoprice's basic shipping, it's pretty close (and since I have Prime, they'll both be here Thursday, instead of sometime next week). I can return a shitload of these keystones to Monoprice if shipping winds up being cheap enough as well. I'll swing by Home Depot and get an old work single gang box, an outlet, and enough romex to reach the closet from the attic outlet (I think they sell bulk romex, anyway).

Pretty close to the KBB of 13500. 42k miles and a decent 5 year or 125k miles warranty. iwentdoodie posted:Not bad at all. Still too high for me as a second car though. I figured they would have droppped lower by now. Carmax always prices at the very high end of the KBB retail scale, though they also tend to have very clean cars. And honestly, I'll pay a little more if it means I don't have to deal with haggling or any sales pressure. Their sales people get paid the same commission if they sell a $9k Corolla or $70k Corvette, though they probably get some extra if they upsell stereos/warranties/etc. They offered to sell me the exact same model stereo that I'd yanked out of my trade-in, for about double what I paid for it.  I got my Ion from Carmax, and paid more than I'd like to admit - but it looked brand new inside and out (still does aside from a broken trim panel on the outside of the drivers door, and a few rock chips in the hood), and had 66k. I skipped on the warranty though; it's an incredibly easy car to work on, with two exceptions - the belt tensioner (most aftermarket replacements fix that by rotating the 3/8 drive hole by 45 degrees), and the clutch slave cylinder (inside the bell housing  ). I'm going to break 110k this week, and the only issues it's had so far have been an evap sensor pigtail (fixed under warranty by Carmax), swaybar endlink (also warranty), broken belt (just neglect on my part), and a thermostat (which has started working fine again, still getting replaced once this cold snap ends). Considering I've put 44k very hard miles on it (most of it pizza delivery), I'd say it's held up pretty drat well. It's started burning about half a quart of oil between ~7-10k oil changes (synthetic), but it also started leaking a little from the valve cover around the same time. I'd consider half a quart of oil use between short term oil changes to be perfect on a brand new car; this is a 2006, built in mid-2005, with over 100k. Blackstone reports have always said the engine was showing wear levels below what they expect for the miles on it.They also financed me in-house at around 2/3 of what other (large) lots were offering, and half of what buy here pay here lots wanted. While shopping, I visited the lot I got my Altima from (since I like torturing myself) to see if they had anything with a stick; they had a 98 V6 Camry LE, 5 speed, with bald dry rotted tires, brakes that barely stopped it (felt like the brake booster was bad, the pedal was rock hard), and 100k with unknown service history (though given the brand new Toyota battery under the hood, it's probably safe to assume the timing belt had been done, and Carfax showed 1 owner with a ton of dealer service entries). They wanted $6000 @ 29% APR and a $1500 down payment. I mulled it over while observing how well the tires handled going WOT in 1st gear during a 15 minute test drive (lots of smoke), observing how well they handled fast shifts into 2nd (a bit more smoke), and repeatedly discovered that 1st gear was absolutely useless at anything more than 1/4 throttle, between the 1MZ-FE and the dry rotted tires. I had to repeat this test several times before returning it, just to make sure I came to a scientific conclusion about dry rotted tires and buy-here-pay-here lots.

After I baked the JetDirect 615N card in the oven for a while, because that's what you do, because I have two of these faulty motherfuckers. Surprisingly, my Samsung ML-1865W laser has been pretty trouble free. It's lost all of its settings a few times, always after a storm rolls through (generally if the power goes off/on/off/on/off/on/off several times is when it shits itself, if it's just a blackout it's always fine) - but connecting it to a PC via USB and reloading the network settings always gets it back on the network instantly. I did have to reload the firmware once. Keeping Google Cloud Print working is frustrating though, when trying to print from my phone it always thinks I have printers I got rid of ages ago, despite my Cloud Print settings showing only the laser and the inkjet in my bedroom.  It has a decent appetite for toner, but we've managed to get nearly 1700 pages out of a 1500 page cartridge. It's currently reporting 1% remaining though, so it looks like I get to buy another cartridge from Xarthor in the next couple of days (he's dropped in here occasionally, he and his dad own a toner/ink shop about 10 minutes away from me, and they advertise in SA-Mart - go give them money, they good people). I also have a Canon MP280 that I found in a dumpster during dorm move-out 3 years ago. It'd been raining all day; I pulled it out, let it dry out for a few days, hooked it up, and found out the scanner worked fine, but would only print cyan/yellow/magenta, not black. Pulled out the black cartridge... you know that piece of plastic that says "Remove before installation"? Yeah.... Only problem I've had with it since then is I use it so seldom that the cartridge nozzles clog up. I'm using it more now that mom/stepdad use the laser printer constantly, but I generally have it set to print in grayscale + draft.

I'd never avoided them, they're just one of those veggies I don't ever buy from myself, like cauliflower. You wouldn't believe what Whole Foods charges for oven roasted brussel sprouts. They put olive oil, sea salt, and pepper on them, toss a batch of them in an oven as tall as me, then mark them up by about 800% (I worked for Whole Foods for awhile, one of the many roles I held there was "kitchen bitch"). It's also the absolute best way to cook brussel sprouts IMO. You lose a lot of the good stuff (vitamins, nutrition, etc) when you boil them (and they get soggy), along with flavor. If you oven roast them, you keep all the good stuff, and they taste a fuckload better. And they get a nice crunch to them. Try making kale chips sometime - it's the same thing (olive oil, sea salt, pepper), but you only bake them long enough to make them crispy. They're delicate enough that you can't use them with dips, but they're pretty drat tasty. Then again, I love kale. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Feb 24, 2015 |
