@WarnerCrocker is this the stuff of gop wet dreams?

@skinnylatte The Thai thick/sweet soy is too sweet? I usually have that (Healthy Boy brand) at hand - it's the thick molasses-y kind (but sweet too)

@skinnylatte oh thanks for that YT link. I've seen a lot of that yeast here in the Chinese/Asian stores too. I think you mean used to make, not made with fermented rice wine. I bought some a while ago and tried once not very successfully to make amazake type fermented rice. Probably because I didn't do ratios and temp right. Switched to koji for amazake - and that turn out well.

@msbellows @paninid it's 2025, I believe the phrase you are looking for is
Flaming Cybertruck

(Unless I'm a little off and that is the manifestation of the patronus you called)

@carolski one from my bookmarks after I heard about it. If I ever make it to Spain and near Barcelona (and L'Estartit) in Figueres is a typewriter museum! It's also next to the Dali museum - so it'll be a great two-fer

@skinnylatte you're trying to cut down?

@skinnylatte this (at restaurants) must be for beginners. I'd up the dishes count per person by 1, and by 2 when 4+ people 😄

More spot-on 🔥 from Cory @pluralistic [see the thread]

@paninid @skinnylatte if you need to look up expense ratios, then skip it.

If you haven't thawed your turkey yet, no worries. You can't brine it, but you can cook straight from frozen - at about 325 °F, it will take longer than a thawed 🦃, about 6hrs for 18-20 lb.
