There's nothing bourgeois about ordering poo poo from the internet. Bourgeois is going to Nordstrom and having a personal shopper assigned to you.

Ordering poo poo from the internet is the new proletariat.

Even when I make a giant pot of stock, once I get done straining, skimming and reducing, I'm left with a couple quarts at most. which is probably like 5 or 6 ice cube trays. Worst case, you freeze it in batches. And I generally don't freeze all of it, as I will use some the week I make it.

You can skip the whole ice cube step, if you want. just pour it in a ziplock bag and freeze it. Takes up less space that way, usually.

But then you can't portion it out. That's the whole point of ice cube trays.

what

I put mine in sandwich bag sized ziplocks, which is usually exactly how much I want for a sauce or whatever. and then one or two bigger ziplocks for soups.

I lay them flat on a sheet tray to freeze, so when they're frozen they stand up like books and I can just stack a row of them side by side

Yeah but that's not really what the other guy was indicating. Plus, your way wastes a lot of ziploc bags which is bad for the environment.

bad bad bad

I said a ziplock bag, not a trash bag. Ziplock bags are standard sizes. You use a measuring cup and pour a cup or two in each bag.

Yes you said a ziploc bag not multiple ziploc bags. Now whether multiple ziploc bags take up less room than one bag with a bunch of stock cubes in it, I don't know. But I was replying to what you said, not what you were thinking.

I used to go through a shitload of paper towels whenever I cooked, so I now I just pull 2 or 3 side towels out when I start cooking and toss them in the laundry as they get contaminated.

I've heard a lot about Sriracha sauce, but never actually tried it before today. Holy poo poo. It burns. Burns so good

That's great but don't become one of those people who thinks they have to put sriracha on everything. Not everything needs to taste like sriracha.

Besides, sriracha is for proles. Sambal oelek is where tha flavor at.

My lovely beer of choice in college was Cool Colt 45 for a while. It was a mint flavored malt liquor, and it was as awful as you'd imagine. The only thing it had going for it was a market near my apartment that didn't ID and sold 40s for $.79. When malt liquor is cheaper than soda, it's a no brainer.

The boy scouts still hate gays, jews, and (unofficially) black people. The girl scouts are much more progressive, and have been in the news lately because of their more worldly views on religion, gender and sexuality.

Well as you may know Macaroni, the us boy scouts have more recently been taken over by the mormons, so I don't know if that makes them more or less progressive. I was just going off their devoutly christian leaning, and the fact that at the two troops I checked out when I was kid, I heard scout leaders saying racist things. I never joined because of that.

Every few months I make a trip to the Asian market and buy sauces that I don't recognize, or haven't used before. I'm going to get some with the pissed off Chinese woman today, anything else that's kind of out there I should try?

So...do any of you native New Englanders have a whoopie pie recipe you'd like to share? My wife has decided to make some, and I'd rather go with a trusted recipe than a random internet recipe.

What's the technique here? I always build the sabayon (egg yolk and water) over heat (first whisking to add volume, then over heat until it starts to thicken) and then remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then a little lemon. Are you blitzing everything with the blender and then heating the finished sauce?

Build it like a mayo. Egg yolks and liquid in the food processor, blitz, then add melted butter in a stream with it running.

how to make whoopie

Thanks! Any idea what the point of the boiling water and (i assume baking) soda part at the end is for?

Also, any insight on the filling process would be appreciated. Maybe creme everything but the whites together, then add the whites like you would to a mousse (in thirds)?

My daughter busted open her chin when she was 3 and the ER doc glued it shut. Said it was quicker and less painful than stitches.
