Time to Change Your Snark Plugs

[Doc_Savage]

Im pretty sure putting mayo on a reese's cup is one of those deadly sins. Nothing with peanut butter should ever be disgraced with this garbage known as mayonnaise.

For even suggesting this may 100 monkeys sneak into your house at night and find you in your bed.

:grumpy:

But Wood... I wrote that just for you.... You can always just go apply some Mayonnaise to your Nether Yayeh... help you feel better about GSOM's dried, salty, stuck together pasta...

Im pretty sure just saying this is an infractionable offense.

Pickle and PB may not be too bad... PB is most awesomeness and mixes well with tons of stuff.... But mayo itself, weather real mayo or miracle whip, is from the deepest darkest nastiest toilet bowls in hell and should only be given to rapist, child molesters, and politicians.

I knew a girl once who would get those sardines soaked in hotsauce and mix them with chocolate ice cream. I love both of those separately... But i didnt have to try that to know it was a bad combo !!

Mayo and PB is outstanding. Wood, you are dissing one of the most revered condiments ever. Mayo... Helmann's or Dukes.. I like Helmann's the best, for commercially made Mayo.

You need to start capitalizing Mayo, too... reverence

Wife grew up in a very frugal family. On camping trips the 'food' packed for days worth of lunches for three kids was a loaf of bread, jar of PB and mustard since spoilage was limited. That's right a PB & Mustard sammich was the everyday lunch.

Every time we have this discussion about condiments it reminds me of the 'royal with cheese' bit in Pulp Fiction

there is something you can put in the water, as a surficant, to keep boil overs more rare and controlled, yah?

The only thing I know of to prevent pasta boil-overs is to have a really big pot compared to the amount of water in the pot. Boil-overs are preventable by watching the pot carefully (a watched pot never boils, right ) and reducing the heat and stirring quickly if the bubbling starts to volcano on you.

Even Ethan's mom says no evidence they could find of oil preventing boilovers....tho they did say you could add a tablespoon of fat if desired to help prevent clumping. I find if the pot is big enough to keep an almost rolling boil going, spaghetti won't clump anyway, just from the agitation - rolling - of the water. Works for me, anyway.

Wasn't trying to prevent clumping while cooking. You're right the boiling agitation is sufficient for that.

What I have found is that the addition of the (small amount of) oil somehow reduces/prevents the strands from sticking together when the pasta starts to cool down, so that when you go back for seconds, you don't have a big blob of pasta. Only a very small amount of the oil seems to stick to the pasta, just enough to reduce/prevent the "cooling pasta welding effect".

Finally uploaded the Maple Festival food pics.

...snip...

And here is a Maple doughnut cut in half, as requested.

Somehow I imagined that the doughnut would be cut in half like a bagel or hamburger bun.

WW, your package has just been dropped in my hands I'm fondling it ever so gently. Have you gotten the first one yet?

 

[Bladite]

A good soak in a bucket of 50/50 BLO and REAL turpentine. Not the stuff made with naptha. Check with paint stores for it. Submerge for a week or two and let them drink it up. Be good to go.

i subscribe to your newletter! thanks!!!

that sounds like an outdoor project.

now, i assume they will be good and smelly for a few weeks after?

i need me some tooling to make wood spirals and nuts and such as seen here...

would be cool to make a bench vise that way (moravian)

Wood, you are dissing one of the most revered condiments ever. Mayo


Doc

Such a sad planet.

WW, your package has just been dropped in my hands I'm fondling it ever so gently. Have you gotten the first one yet?

Woohoo!! Thats the one im really excited about Thanks brother.

Havent received the first one yet, its been in Buffalo NY (customs) for 5 days... So im sure it will get released soon!!

 

[Bladite]

This is believable!!


What are the bits called that cut larger circular holes in wood?? I dont see too many 3/4" or 1" drill bits.... But i need to cut 1- 1" circle and 6- 3/4" circles into a piece of wood about 5-6" in diameter and maybe 1" thick.

Thanks for the info... I know i have seen them, just cant think of what they hell they are called.

you could also use a plunge router, or with weensy bits, or a spiral saw, make slots instead of rounds, depending on what you are trying to display

Im looking for the cheapest method of doing it

Although a router would be awesome for many many things, id just be adding more stuff to the back of a uhual at this point. I have a drill, portable and press, though so a couple bits are pretty easy.

I did think about calling up dad and asking him to knock it out real quick since all id need is 7 holes drilled in a board and i could do the rest here... But i might be able to get the spade bits myself for the price of postage.

Its going to be a wood stand for a an e-cig style vaporizer, 2 18650 batteries, and 4 attachment stems. The attachment stems are glass and break pretty easy if they fall over or roll off a table.. And costing 25+ each for replacements (for the ones i prefer) gets expensive.... plus it will keep everything together on my desk in one neat package. And depending on the wood used could look rather nice.

They are probably wondering why I sent you a test tube and bag of chips

This one isn't packaged as nice as the first but I fixed it up a little bit. I'll send it out tomorrow after work :thumbup:

Because you want me to father your babies of course. The test tube is obviously for returning my sample. The bag of chips is dinner... since its just polite to feed me before i knock you up

Feel free to keep the chips this time if you want (if they were included) its quite possible being food does slow it down a little. And thanks again bud!! Just let me know what i owe ya for shipping once ya figure it out!!

My hammock shipped today and my Tradewater is nearing completion. Good day in my neck of the woods.

You have to give me credit for being a thoughtful 'date' and I still need to you to sign that child support paperwork. Is it still agreed we're going for dual citizenship?

no chips in this one :thumbup:

I like a bit of good mayo on hot, fresh McDonald's fries, and yes that movie is where I got the idea. :thumbup:

Somehow I imagined that the doughnut would be cut in half like a bagel or hamburger bun.

Some ballpark is going to be serving a hotdog in a raspberry-jelly donut with extra bacon. I can't decide if that's genius or just disgusting.

I will say that the kosher dogs in a pretzel-dough bun at Sonic are pretty dang good... of course that's about three days' worth of carbs, but hey, once in a while a guy has to splurge

Real turpentine doesn't smell bad at all. Garrett Wade has the tap and die sets up to inch and a half I believe. I used the one inch set from them to make this horizontal vise. :thumbup:

My family originated from Holland (Grandparents being the first ones over in the 1950's). I heard about mayo on fries long before I was deemed old enough to watch Pulp Fiction lol

I like to mix sriracha with my mayo just give it that extra little zip. :thumbup:

 

[The Warrior]

Sure don't take long to get a buzz going with Maker's Mark. My step daughter and her husband came by, and they mixed up some kind of concoction. Not sure what it was, but it had rum in it. Oh yeah, I'm feeling no pain. :thumbup:

 

[gmoneyluv]

Finished a piece for The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper. Timelines were a bit tight as I was only asked to do this piece last week. Enjoying a glass (or two) of wine and watching Better Call Saul.
