I have always used a regular pot when making gravy, but now that i've started watching american cooking channels on youtube, i often see them using a saucepan. Does a saucepan have any significant advantages over a pot when making gravy? Does it have any other uses that a regular pot or pan can't do adequately?
Are there any scenes in Peep Show that you struggle to make it through every time you watch, like you know exactly what happens but can't listen to how cringing it is.
For example, the bit where Mark and Gerard are in the comic shop and Mark starts telling him about hooking up with a chick using the palm reading routine, just so awful. This isn't the best example but it just makes me want to skip 20 seconds!
Interested to see if people need to skip a few seconds forward on any other scenes. There are also the obvious ones like the phone message and the child protection register. But they don't hit me that bad.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
EDIT: Also need guitar/bass/keyboard/whatever!
I’m a first year English major from NorCal who’s been into music since forever. I’ve only got my guitar on campus with me but I can sing, play bass, drums, and some piano. I love writing music and jamming, maybe even covering songs for practice. I’d like to break into the local scene and play some house shows, but first I need some band mates.
The acts I’m most into are Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Pavement, The Velvet Underground, The Beach Boys, Neutral Milk Hotel, Yo La Tengo, Animal Collective, Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, Weezer, My Bloody Valentine, and Talking Heads. If you’re into even one of those (or none!) I’m sure we’ll get together perfectly.
DM here if you’d like to jam together and I’ll give out my Instagram! Everybody’s welcome, regardless of skill level!
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
They were cooked in Greece.
So, I used my brain while brewing my first loose tea, and since I'm switching over from coffee to tea, I noticed that I had no steeping device. So, I made sure to follow the instructions (add 1 tablespoon/16 oz of water) and got to it.
I took a regular coffee filter and added 1 tablespoon of the loose tea into it. Then, I bunched it up, twisted the filter, I found an incredibly tight band and placed it around the filter. (I made sure it was unused and none would fall out.
I guess my point is, I'm starting out and I tried an experiment that would be cost-effective and a "tea bag" that is big enough to brew large quantities if I so chose to. Now, if only it would cool down...
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
I know this topic may seem like out of place in this sub, but I don't think I'm breaking any rules. My question is about the infusing process.
I'll try to make cannabutter tomorrow for the first time. I looker on the internet and it seem quite simple, first you decarb the weed (put it in the oven), then melt butter on water on a saucepot, finally then putting in the weed.
The problem is: It is said that the weed should be simmering on the saucepot and the butter should never come to a full boil. But I'm pretty sure that even on low heat It'll boil, and I don't have a thermometer.
I came up with two possible solutions.
1-I keep turning the fire on and off throughout the process (which last 3-4h, so that'll suck)
2-I put the saucepot in the oven (that has a minimum temperate of 160°C [320°F] and a grill function). I would leave the oven door a bit open in order to keep the temperature lower.
Does anyone know how I should proceed?
Or would that be too forward thinking?
