I found the trick to cornbread is to use lard or rendered bacon fat, and raise the temperature the stated recipe by 10⁰ and cut back on the time. It requires watching a little bit more but when the top is starting to brown and the sides are brown, take it out. Raising the temp, makes the outside crunchy and inside for moist and almost custard like

I’m going to have to give that a try

Call me crazy and I know there’s so many different kinds of bread one could make not including additions but plain white bread straight from the oven is amazing! Good job!

That reminds me of another time I was making chilli and came up with a great idea of getting frisky with my wife. Needless to say, it killed the mood.

My tomatoes are finally ripening after a slow start. What could be the best sandwich ever, a tomato sandwich.

I have a book written by Kirsten K. and Christopher Shockey called “Fiery Ferments” and one recipe I use quite a bit, green peppercorn mustard. It’s on the hot side, it’ll definitely clear your sinuses. Green peppercorn mustard

I have family deep in Appalachia where education isn’t much of a priority there, most drop out to help farming, coal mining and helping the family whatever way they can.

One man I knew who dropped out at an early age was probably the best mechanic I’ve ever seen. He could fix just about anything, cars, appliances, you name it.

One instance I recall was that there was a boy with either downs or on the autism spectrum. Back then there was no distinction but I digress. This boy had an old, beat up and very cheap 8 track player that he absolutely loved and couldn’t ever part with it. The mechanic was able to keep it working for years and years.

I have to go way back and vote for the Shenmu trilogy. Open world and RPG.

I agree that Half Life for action adventure.

Definitely Portal 2 and the Talos Principal for puzzle.

Rocket League is awesome and so are the Skate games.

Crazy Taxi and Paradise City belong somewhere too

I can see quality of posts getting worse and worse. Bots reposting, comments filled with low effort puns and one liners. I hardly ever got on Twitter and even less now but before I would see interesting tweets and comments but not anymore. I believe Reddit will be just the same.

Very interesting article. I think it’s true they that streaming music services tend to make passive listening to easy. I remember the days of getting a new album, playing it while I read the liner notes, checked out the cover art and listening intently to the lyrics. Now it’s too easy to play something, anything while I cook dinner, get ready for work…

I do like SiriusXM. I appreciate the curated approach. DJs that spin the music, adding their own take on a particular track and comments. It tends to break up the passive listening and listen more closely.

I’ve been listening to Blondie this week.

A person can only hope.

This popped up in my discover feed and had to give it a try. Whew, truly amazing.

Start with 3 slices of thin sliced rye bread, butter them but butter both sides of the middle slice. Normally beef tongue is used but I used pastrami instead. Layer beef tongue, ham, turkey breast then Swiss cheese. Take thinly sliced cabbage tossed with a little Russian dressing, top with more Russian dressing then middle slice of bread. Do all those steps all over again.

Here’s a link for Russian dressing. I wanted it to be smooth without bits of onion so I grated the onion. Trust me when I say this is the sh*t and you’ll want this on everything so double it. Russian dressing
