I learned something about myself today. I can tolerate bleu cheese. Or at least I can tolerate it in buffalo wing dipping sauce.

Rice is always better too moist than too dry. Dry, crunchy rice sucks rear end.

I just made aïoli for the first time.   I used the aïoli recipe from here and added some fresh herbs I had sitting on my counter. It might have a little more garlic than the recipe calls for because I love garlic, and I used balsamic vinegar because I didn’t have any white wine vinegar on hand. Tastes delicious. Maybe a little bitter but I’m hoping it mellows out in the fridge some. I loving love this new food processor.

I tried making chipotle mayo. I was not successful.  I followed the recipe, subbing lime juice for lemon juice and adding 1/2 teaspoon of adobo sauce and 1 clove garlic. I did a wire-thin stream of oil and everything. What wrong?

I have no loving idea what emulsion is or how it works or how I got the results I did with the aïoli I made yesterday plz explain I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Mar 7, 2019 |

Sooo my mom died this morning... and right now I’m trying to think of threads where I can post that without typing up a wall of text about it. I’m gonna make an E/N thread but the OP will be long and I just don’t have it in me to type that out right now.

Stringent posted:I should have said this sooner, but your tragedy kind of brought it into focus. Thank you for this, it means a lot to me. We’re making funeral arrangements right now. Mom is going to be cremated, and I’ve been tasked with finding an urn for her. ... Actually, and this is super awkward to ask about here but I don’t know where else to ask, but if anyone has any recommendations for good urn making companies, please PM them to me. Or if you don’t have PMs and it’s okay with the OP/mods, I guess you could post them here too. I can post a description of what we’re looking for if anyone wants to see it.

Crusty Nutsack posted:All I know about urns is that those companies rob you blind. They're so drat expensive, it's ridiculous. But enough about the funeral industry as a whole  Crusty Nutsack posted:Depending on what you have in mind, consider looking for something that's not an actual urn, especially if it's unique or money is tight. (The ashes will be inside of a plastic bag of some sort.) Unfortunately my mom never told us anything about what kind of urn she wanted (all she told us was that she wanted a few of her ashes scattered in mountain streams), but we’re pretty sure a traditional vase urn is the way to go for her. We want something nice looking that we can display at home. As far as details we’re looking for in an urn: - The urn should be durable and not easily breakable (I don’t want a irl repeat of that scene from Meet The Parents where the urn breaks and the cat pisses in the ashes) - Mom liked flowers, cats, the fall season, mountains, and snow, so we want something with designs of any of those (flowers are probably the easiest to find) - We really REALLY want to be able to engrave at least 3 (and hopefully at least 4) lines of text on it, either directly on the urn or on a plaque attached to the urn - If possible, it’d be nice to be able to add either a photo or a picture engraving of Mom onto the urn, although I’m not sure how easy that is to do on more detailed urns (or vase urns in general) I could actually use a bit of help looking for this, since I’m getting kind of overwhelmed helping my dad out with all the funeral arrangements, and time is a little bit of a factor. I’m not expecting any of this to be cheap, but I love my mom and I want everything to be nice for her. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Mar 15, 2019 |

Crusty Nutsack posted:There is always the option of putting her ashes into something nice but temporary, while you search for the perfect long-term urn. As long as someone is comfortable with handling the ashes (again, in a bag) in the future, that could take off some immediate stress. You don't have to find something perfect and amazing right this moment. Just a thought. therattle posted:I was going to say the same thing. The urn may not be an immediate priority in the way that other things are. I didn’t know this, thanks. I’d like to find something soon, but it’s good to know that it isn’t like super urgent to find my mom a perfect corpse jar on top of the mountain of other awful poo poo we have to deal with right now. dino. posted:Bro. This loving sucks. I'm so sorry that you're going through it like this. Losing a parent will always suck, and this one sounds like it's hit you pretty hard. Yeah it’s definitely been tough. I’ve had anxiety issues my whole life, and losing a parent to a sudden death has been one of my top 3 fears since I was like 6 years old. I expect to be hosed up from this for a good long while. dino. posted:https://www.amazon.com/Ansons-Urns-Pink-Rose-Cremation/dp/B07C6W4FNV/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=flower+urn&qid=1552620228&s=gateway&sr=8-5 This looks okay, but something about the thought of buying something ultra sacred and personal like an urn on Amazon doesn’t sit well with me for some reason. Speaking of which, I googled for urns yesterday and discovered you can buy them at Walmart, which... just.... no. gently caress no. dino. posted:With regards to the engraving, have someone who can do that quote you. If the urn is $100, hiring an artist to engrave it will be worth whatever you have to spend. Having a third party do the engraving is an option I hadn’t considered. Thanks, I’ll look into that. dino. posted:Also, if you need to vent, cry, or just feel your feelings, let me know. I appreciate this. I’m not sure how much venting or crying I want to do with goons, but I do really want to make an E/N thread sometime in the near future. I just haven’t been able to type one up yet because I’ve been so busy contacting friends and family, helping my dad with funeral arrangements and personal affairs, and generally being shocked and sad as all gently caress. Also because the OP is gonna be pretty long and this whole ordeal has left me too physically and emotionally exhausted to put my thoughts down (and because you can’t edit posts in E/N (and because I don’t want to start crying while I’m typing)).

I just found a kickass Latin-fusion sushi joint in my redneck shithole hometown. They have a loving huge menu that includes sushi nachos. Like I honestly think this place might be good enough for Diners Drive-Ins & Dives.

How was everyone’s Easter? I went to a family friend’s dinner party that was also attended by a priest who turned out to be a big fat loving homophobe/transphobe, which, for the record, is unusual in my area. So that was an experience.

You know those scam calls that tell you you won Publisher’s Clearing House or whatever? We just got one of those. Guy speaking terrible English called my number (lol it showed up as “No Caller ID”), hung up immediately when I asked what the call was about, then called my dad to tell him we’d won Publisher’s Clearing House. Except he didn’t do the part where they ask us for any information or money, he just... gave us some claim numbers and asked if we’d be home tomorrow and stuff. Also he told us we won second prize instead of first (second prize apparently being $485K plus a Benz car), which seemed a little odd. Has anyone ever gotten one of these scam calls where the caller forgot to do the actual scam part?

The guy said they’d be coming to our house tomorrow and asked if we’d be home then. But yeah I figure it’s a scam. It’s just a weird scam because they didn’t do the actual scam part.
