What's cooking at your house tonight?

My wife cooked supper tonight. She had been planning on something
involving stir fried chicken breast and vegetables and was counting on
me doing it. I really didn't feel like cooking and I thought it was
about time she did some stir frying instead of always expecting me to do
that. She did it differently than I would have but she did a great job.
She rubbed it with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder and pan fried
it. Then the prepped broccoli, onion, red and green peppers, some garlic
and ginger. She used a little canola oil to stir fry it and at the end
she added some sesame oil. It was great.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have a stir-fry pan (it's basically a flat
bottom wok with a handle like a skillet) that works well on my ancient
electric stove. I should stir-fry things more often. But I'm not
thinking stir-fried "Asian" food with *sauce* and rice. Very simple
stir fry of seasoned meat and veggies. Nice!

We had some 1" thick pork butt steaks (from today's meat buying
foray) grill-baked potatoes and homegrown/canned green beans . I forgot
to serve the homegrown pickled beets ...
Doggus Maximus (the Handsome Hairball) loves it when I grill these
butt steaks . They have a fairly thick rind of fat which I trim off and
grill just for him .

Nothing very interesting, but I made pizza dough for Friday or Saturday
lunch. It's not rising very well; I might have kept the yeast too long. There's a little activity, but nothing like I usually get. Time will
tell. And waiting until Saturday seems more likely.

Sesame oik is not a great cooking oil. Most people use only a little,

Sesame oik is not a great cooking oil. Most people use only a little,
mainly for the flavour, and add it near the end of the process.

According to my artificially intelligent friend:

"There are two main types of sesame oil: toasted and untoasted.
Toasted sesame oil has a much lower smoke point than untoasted sesame
oil and is not recommended for frying. Untoasted sesame oil, on the
other hand, has a high smoke point and can be used for frying,
stir-frying, and other high-heat cooking applications.

Refined vs. unrefined: Sesame oil can also be refined or unrefined.
Refined sesame oil has a higher smoke point than unrefined sesame oil,
making it a better choice for frying. Unrefined sesame oil has a more
intense flavor, but it is not as heat-stable."

It is like a number of other movies loosely based on history, though

Say it loud enough and often enough and people will believe it. It
wasn't just Goebbels who knew that. There is video of our former
Environment Minister in a bar after a few drinks telling how in
Parliament that if you take your talking point and repeat it loud enough
and often enough people will actually believe it.

The English get crapped on a lot these days because they stepped in a
few toes on the way to establishing an empire that spanned the globe.
The offended some of the Scots and Irish, a lot of whom ended up in the
US and then took part in the revolution. Their military leaders are
often portrayed as incompetent and effeminate twits, not exactly the
sort who would have enough astounding victorious to build and maintain
that empire.

Really, that's the worst battle cry ever.  Taking your life removes

In any event, the only kind of freedom enjoyed in the Middle Ages was
the freedom to take your place in the feudal order.

The movie was quite entertaining but I certainly never thought it was
"factual". :)

It is like a number of other movies loosely based on history, though
they take incidents from one event and slip them into something
completely different. It seems to happen a lot with Mel Gibson movies.

That's because you have a brain, and an education.
Unfortunately, there are many brainless, uneducated twits out there, and _they_ believe it's all true.

I've encountered a few of them. One man in particular shortly after the
movie came out actually thought (based on the movie) Scotland wasn't
part of the UK. Then again, he also thought Mel Gibson was Scottish. LOL

I like Red Robin... one opened by me a few years ago, but pretty quickly closed, I don't know why...

Decent and reasonably - sized burgers, *and* they had unlimited fries... if I was jonesing for fries it was a good place to hit...

I think they're out of Denver...

   I use my wok for fried rice and lo mein in addition to stir-fry

Sesame oik is not a great cooking oil. Most people use only a little,
mainly for the flavour, and add it near the end of the process.

I don't exactly pour it in by the cup full ... Probably 2-3 teaspoons
for a batch of whatever I'm cooking . I use very little oil overall ,
and we use the air fryer for anything "fried" .

That's why I don't watch blockbusters. They're made because someone

You sparked a craving! Now I want a grilled cheese sandwich, dammit! :)

I like it using sliced sourdough bread (I'll need to go to the bakery
to buy some) and a combo of sliced cheddar and pepperjack, or cheddar
and Swiss. I could also add thinly sliced deli ham. A hot ham & Swiss
grilled cheese sandwich is quite nice. :)

Chicken soup, a cheese sandwich and a ton of junk food. If you always
eat that much, you don't have to be afraid that the socialists come

Yes, that's what I read too. I was going to watch it, but can't be

There are people here who know a lot more about cooking with yeast than
I do. I know that yeast loses its oomph with age but my little mind is
inclined to think that if yeast is not up to par it may not all bloom
into action there can still be some spirited bits who will activate and
start reproducing. Give it enough time and the survivors will be doing
the work of thousands.

Being extremely right wing or woke is a choice. You can disagree with

Indeed. And I would like to add that many of President Trump's very close supporters have claimed that this man's shit does not stink. They tested by rubbing on their faces.

The man is a new god in modern america, worshiped by most all fervent Christians. Muslims also believe he is Allah, or at least a re-incarnated Mohammed. They claim it's OK to eat ham, if they've just rubbed a little of trump's shit on the meat. A teaspoon of this holy shit will purify 100
hams. Small genuine trump turds are going for $1000 on ebay, and come with
a maga certificate of authenticity. Larger turds (with velvet lined presentation boxes) can be purchased on truth social for $100,000. The
proceeds go to the defense fund.

Even poor quisling joe biden has admitted that trump's shit don't stink and

Indeed. And I would like to add that many of President Trump's very close supporters have claimed that this man's shit does not stink. They tested by rubbing on their faces.

The man is a new god in modern america, worshiped by most all fervent Christians. Muslims also believe he is Allah, or at least a re-incarnated Mohammed. They claim it's OK to eat ham, if they've just rubbed a little of trump's shit on the meat. A teaspoon of this holy shit will purify 100
hams. Small genuine trump turds are going for $1000 on ebay, and come with
a maga certificate of authenticity. Larger turds (with velvet lined presentation boxes) can be purchased on truth social for $100,000. The proceeds go to the defense fund.

Even poor quisling joe biden has admitted that trump's shit don't stink and he regularly uses it to anoint republican members of the house.

Sire Hank...!!!

The Royal House of Dataw don't allow such "scatalogical" talk...

Princess Jill only likes nice "clean" joshing and humour...

You don't need no "trip to the Tower" for one of her bloody "haircuts" - BEWARE...!!!

America's Intellectual "Bloodbath"

If a censored tree falls in the forest, do we still have to misquote it?

MATT TAIBBI - Racket News - MAR 22, 202

"Trump gave a speech last Sunday in Dayton, Ohio...

The “bloodbath” portion concerned a promise to slap a 100% tariff on foreign cars, and the quote was, “If I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.”

Acyn, a media chop shop funded by blue-party PAC Meidas Touch, put out a 17-second tweet, which the Biden-Harris campaign shortened to nine seconds...

This triggered the usual outrage battery...

Biden spokesperson James Singer said it was clear Trump “wants another January 6th.”...

David Corn said Trump “endorsed political violence.”...

Even Hillary Clinton slid her crypt open to contribute...

“Bloodbath” was clearly economic metaphor, and the worst thing you could say about it is that it underscored a general Trump tendency to preach doom and disaster in a way some consider irresponsible...

I don’t...

This rhetoric works for Trump for a reason, the same one that makes the media miss on “bloodbath” a double-insult...

This apocalyptic speech resonates in places like Dayton, a region that produced six million vehicles between 1981 and an infamous GM plant closure in 2008. There’s now a Chinese auto-glass factory on the site. Many people in that part of the world
watched $30-an-hour factory jobs turned into $1-an-hour gigs for Mexican counterparts after NAFTA, which explains why crowds tend to respond to heated rhetoric about the border...

You don’t have to agree with Trump’s stances on these issues, but not understanding why they work is rhetorical malpractice...

The “bloodbath” episode is exposing how even a nationwide digital blackout of Trump can’t and won’t work, ever...

It’s not Trump’s own statements or online “misinformation” or Russian bots or Decepticons or Marilyn Manson or the Reverse Flash or any other diabolical villain animating Trump’s campaign...

It’s people who hate him the most, in media, who’ve become nearly the whole of his PR operation...

It was amazing this week, watching how close the press came to realizing the mistake they’ve made by combining constant mischaracterizations with censorship...

That despite the “successful effort to deplatform,” despite the piles of criminal charges and hundreds of millions in fines and (soon, apparently) property seizures, people are still turning out in throngs to speeches like this one in Dayton...???

Isn’t that what’s got all these media folk so spun up...???"

Male authority in God’s plan
Traditional understandings about male headship, both in the family and
the Church, were promoted as being ordained by God. This meant the
authority of men and the subordination of women were considered to be “permanently binding” principles.

Conservative evangelical Christians enthusiastically embraced this as a
form of resistance against the feminist movement, and still support

Conservative Christians are the opposite of what Jesus is supposed to
have preached. You once posted a little comic strip thing that said it perfectly.

A lot of war movies made by the Brits in the 50s and 60s had the odd US
actor in them, even when there were NO USians in those actions.
They were presumably there to get US funding and distribution.

How about having Napoleon played by an American, in an English-biased
version of history?

In the name of diversity and woke-ism it is obvious that Napoleon should
be played by an ethnic chinese with a translator in the movie! All else
would be the blackest (sorry, the most african-american) racism!

Not religion, but tribalism. Of course it can be difficult to

Nothing very interesting, but I made pizza dough for Friday or
Saturday lunch. It's not rising very well; I might have kept
the yeast too long. There's a little activity, but nothing
like I usually get. Time will tell. And waiting until
Saturday seems more likely.

I certainly hope the pizza dough rises to your expectations!

It's coming along. I think it will be usable by tomorrow. I still
intend to buy new yeast.

There are people here who know a lot more about cooking with yeast
than I do. I know that yeast loses its oomph with age but my little
mind is inclined to think that if yeast is not up to par it may not
all bloom into action there can still be some spirited bits who will
activate and start reproducing. Give it enough time and the survivors
will be doing the work of thousands.

Storage has a lot to do with it as well. I use only 'instant dry' or
'active dry'. aka, no proofing types. Keep the use jar in the fridge
(I refill a decades old fleishmanns jar) and the bag or bags in the
freezer. Lasts in freezer up to 2 years past expiration date but yes,
has an end of life.
