I like turtles.
Ever since I learned you can fry plain, pre-cooked pork roast, it's been a dish I don't know if I can get tired of. Perfect with a glug of soy sauce and some garlic powder. The pork itself is easy to prepare in bulk too. I pretty much buy pork shoulders any time I see them on sale now.

Nice, seems versatile. I think it's the soy sauce and its disproportionate umami-imparting properties that really make a lot of dishes what they are.

yeah I've never used it as an ingredient before

I like that bulgogi recipe though, takes quite a lot less time to make than some of my other regular things, although I ignore the instructions and marinate it overnight because it tastes better that way

I like turtles.
For sure. You need longer than the 30 minute minimum to get the full benefit. Like at least four hours.

I've discovered dry brining (i.e. just a coating of salt and herbs) is helpful for some meats though, less messy and still fulfills the same purpose.

Instant Pot is how I do all my pork now, speaking of. It's so good for batch cooking meats and soups/stews.

I did some homemade yogurt in it at one point, but because the internal sealing ring hangs onto odors and flavors, the yogurt had the most subtle but insurmountable taste of chicken broth. :(

tbob yeah that part of the video didn't make sense to me either, but i'm just saying don't discount the video or the guy's channel entirely. game maker's toolkit overall is a super well done and interesting series, one of the better video game criticism channels out there

I might check out the Zela later, I've been dealing with a real asshole of a cold and watching videos while throwing popcorn at my monitor like my own personal MST3K is kinda all I feel like doing lol.

you should try looking up amateur musical transcriptions of popular songs online

Unfortunately no one wants to edit ~For Exposure~ kids theses days, I swear. :v

Quote from Da Dood:
I like the Boss Keys series but this wasn't the first time he screwed up in his analysis IMO... when he did Metroid: Zero Mission he had this whole fancy graphics thing showing how linear ZM is based on how many rooms you can unlock with each new upgrade. He completely neglected to mention that most of these upgrades are optional, and that you can literally travel to either end of the world with no requirements from the other side.

Besides, yeah, no shit, when you get the Morph Ball in Super Metroid there is literally only one place to go too...

I feel like, in general, gamers don't actually know what linear and non linear actually mean (if they mean anything) and just kinda throw out "linear" as some vague way to describe a game they don't like as much as this other one they do like without sounding, horror of horrors.... subjective! Oh no!

Anyway, this is all to say that I watched the recent episode dump of Arrested Development on Netflix. It wasn't great.

I am going to watch the Boss Keys video about Twilight Princess's dungeons because I have Gripes and he'd better agree.

chicken tikka masala


nice, that's always been very popular in the UK

I have a recipe for it actually, I also have the recipe for the dish it was originally based on before it was anglicised, some sort of butter chicken thing

I want to make a vindaloo sometime, normally those are incredibly hot so you can't really order them at restaurants unless you're prepared to risk getting incinerated

but there are some unusual flavours like vinegar in it, so I need to have a go at making it myself and I can just tone the heat down

iirc you have to marinate the meat twice though, it's a complex one

wow even the instant pot vindaloo recipes i'm finding call for marination

ctm is super easy to make though, you should go for it

mine tasted exactly like what you'd get in a restaurant ... garam masala is a wonderful thing

i guess the real test would be to make homemade garam masala, which i did not do
DJGrenola
2019-03-19 01:51:29 pm
I do that!

it's not really any different to what you buy
DJGrenola
2019-03-19 01:51:54 pm
just a bit more flavour I guess because you tend only to grind it five minutes before you use it

ah ok, i don't feel bad then

i did make up my own cajun spice mix for chicken, pretty proud of that
DJGrenola

the advantage of making it yourself is you can tweak it a bit I guess, if you like a bit more cinnamon or a bit more cloves or whatever you can make it so

I dunno, a lot of the things I tend to make take too damn long :/
DJGrenola
2019-03-19 04:38:55 pm
a lot of the time I'll just fry up a small onion, broccoli, a bell pepper and some chorizo slices, then toss in half a jar of pesto and have it with some pasta
