We had the Christmas tree version of the moose plate.

oven alone is fine. liquid smoke is the magic ingredient if you have it.

I just make it sous vide and finished in the oven now. People always think it was smoked since I use prague powder to get “smoke ring” and add liquid smoke for flavor

“blonde beauty”

she is attractive but I feel like everyone (including her) is playing up her attractiveness as though she’s Grace Kelly instead of the novelty of a being pretty for a journalist not on Murdoch’s payroll.

Like they want to embellish it to raise the glamour of it all.

other problem with it is the rocket is too wobbly. was supposed to carry a bunch of weight but too much weight makes it go into a death-wobble so the payload is limited to like a third of the original target which makes its whole value proposition kinda moot.

seemingly a lame duck with a trifecta

idk if that’s happened before

yeah, I normally plate the cuts on a big serving dish with stuffing so it looks better but it doesnt invoke the same nostalgia as a big bird at the center of the table

a hero at OpenAI could make ChatGPT tell them they just need to put a black highlight on top of the text in PDF and save it. nothing else is needed.

lotta people think it’s more complicated than it actually is.

Mentioned it to a friend who is on turkey duty with his in-laws and he thought it was a multi-day process, then read a guide and just responded, “so I just cut out the spine and flatten?”

also, add some booze to your cranberry sauce right at the end. brandy or whiskey. the alcohol adds some depth and increases the aroma.

did that for the first time a couple years ago, also spatchcocked it and cooked on my smoker.

make your own cream of mushroom soup for green bean casserole!

it’s just sautéed mushrooms, roux, cream, chicken stock, and seasoning. can be done ahead of time too.

Agreed, I make mashed potatoes a lot. My wife’s family used russets and a stand mixer which resulted in a lot of starchy lumps.

I’ve converted my wife to the power of yukon golds and a ricer. I salt the water well and they end up being creamy before any butter is even added.

Teams does let you mute it but it is annoying it defaults to notifying you for meetings you’re not in.

yeah, I want someone to explain how they’ll have enough transformers for the hyperscale datacenters and for the increased grid demands.

We’re already 3-4 years out to get new ones just from renewable expansion since 2018ish.

It seems like everyone in the industry is aware but no solutions exist.

yeah, I don’t see how Paul’s sensibilities in that era would have worked with any of the others. This was when he was making lofi folk country (Ram and McCartney I)

though I would like to hear Miles do a 20 minute version of Maybe Im Amazed like he did with Guinevere for bitches brew.
