today is day 2 of our most recent pot roast crafting. for liquified gelatin to be fully reabsorbed into the meat, the roast should be allowed to sit in cooking juices overnight... in fridge 'course and only after straining juices and skimming CONSIDERABLE fat. so, today we need reheat meat, create gravy, and roast vegetables... and perhaps steam something green just for show. hardest part o' pot roast is actual doing overnight reabsorption. smells so darn good that we wanna eat after initial cooking is finished. need resist urge to eat on day 1 is a special kinda torment. HA! Good Fun! Gromnir you have a lot a knowledge and insight around cooking and gastronomy it seems I love cooking, I find it therapeutic but I really enjoy cooking a nice dinner for friends and family Who taught you about cooking or are you self-taught?

Thanks for clarifying KP....sometimes I don't get some of the political commentary or views I read

Yeah, thats no surprise it was cancelled

Is the point of this article supporting Trump or is it against him?

This is a good post, for ages I have been wondering why Heroes Reborn was really grabbing me...but I still watched I find in entertaining but yes now that you mention it there are too many disparate groups for you care about too much

That must have been funny What did your wife say it was? I have posted this before but check out this relatively common pizza phenomenon in SA where you can chose your own ingredients ...you will see you can put sweets on Pizza and apparently people do order it http://www.andiccio24.co.za/a24-menu.html

There really isn't any wrong way to make a pizza.1 1Unless you make it with pineapple, naturally.

Anchovies are delicious on Pizza but obviously you just need to chose your other ingredients a little prudently as its a strong taste Leferd you must add Capers to that Pizza you like, it goes well with Anchovies

Yes it works, try Feta, Bacon and Spinach...its yummy Edit : One of the pizza places I go to calls this the " Popeye Pizza "

what? ... what? pineapple is a pizza staple? as popular as pepperoni? not in the usa it ain't. hell, not even in hawaii. where, save other than in small portions o' california, is pineapple a pizza staple? we don't particular like pepperoni, but is no way we would ever suggest that pineapple is "about as popular as pepperoni" when speaking o' pizza toppings. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-popular-pizza-toppings-chart-2013-10 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/12/popular-pizza-toppings_n_4261085.html HA! Good Fun! Hawaiian Pizza is very common in South Africa, and its normally Ham and Pineapple Basically every single Pizza place has it on its menu I dunno, for me pretty much tomato, pepper and olives are about the only fruits that I can take on pizza, and culinarily they usually aren't treated as fruits. Fruits on pizza like pineapple just don't taste right to me, too sweet and wrong textured. Its interesting how we have totally different tastes for some Pizza ingredients yet we agree that others are perfectly suitable I think in South Africa we don't really have a traditional Pizza culture so we just put anything we want on it

Yes I normally order 2-3 different Cheeses if I order what we call a " gourmet Pizza " In South Africa this Pizza place sells what is known as gourmet Pizza http://www.colcacchio.co.za/

I have always felt I was a member of the elite class...your post confirms it

Okay you win this one....clearly you really like sausage to ask for 5 toppings of it...I won't try to sway you anymore

Sausage is always good...but you can enhance the taste of sausage by finding other complimentary ingredients

Wowzers dude no way, some fruits absolutely work on Pizza like Avo, Pineapple or Banana. Those just add to the overall taste experience

I started watching Billions, its got several prominent actors including the lead actor from Life, Damian Lewis The show is really good and focuses on the illegal practices that the financial sector in the USA is sometimes involved in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billions_(TV_series)

Clinton will win, obnoxious liberals will praise this as a victory for progressivism, the right will be emboldened to support even stupider and more destructive economic policies, and the moderate to far left will continue to be completely irrelevant all the while being blamed for everything. Correct and a Clinton victory is a victory for a progressive future This is a good thing young grasshopper, lets not be negative

Sorry to hear that, yeah I hope that will be the last one. Maybe your dad could see it as wake up call to change his lifestyle? I don't understand why you see this as "radical " change? You should have been a personal trainer years ago, you seem passionate about it and I think you would be very good because you are sincere and committed I know lots of personal trainers, its a very good career to have on many levels and can be very financially rewarding.

Also the entire ME is full of politically grey areas, I understand exactly what Western ideology means and what defines it but I have come to realize in respects to the various governments in the ME and there policy decisions that you need to look at things in a certain lens, terms like " anti-Western " , " pro-Western", " evil" , " good " ...cannot always be applied and interpreted in the normal way so we need to look at the ME in a less critical and perhaps more objective manner

No TN..you must NEVER try short-circuit the important culinary ritual of cooking eggs. You just do it, you stand over the stove and just cook those eggs

Bruce - your constant mania about strippers looks... non-normal. How old you are? Maybe you must find a love and marry to this woman. Family, Bruce, it's much better than any your purchased "love" of cheap migrants. You so similar to Murika, you crying about how stronk you are, but IRL your behavior looks just pathetic. Oh I finally got a reasonable response from you, interesting. So there are times when you engage in normal debate You know you must have reached a new low in forum etiquette when Oby lectures you on what is acceptable and what is normal

Is ISIS controlled oil factored into world oil prices though, since it isn't traded legally? It effects how much there is demand for legally produced oil. And oil price is determined by how much demand there are compared to amount oil that is produced. But I would guess that ISIS controlled oil has quite marginal impact on oil prices. ISIS oil production (in Syria and Iraq combined) accounts for ~ 0.5 to 1% of global production (~96 mbpd) and has a negligible impact on global markets. It's beyond laughable to think that cutting off ISIS production would result in a catastrophic price increase when there is a current over-supply of roughly 1.9 mbpd and oil stockpiles increased by nearly 2 billion barrels in 2015. Iran will have a far bigger impact on global markets if/when it increases it production by nearly 800,000 bpd after production limiting sanctions are removed. I agree demand and supply are linked but at the moment there is a deliberate oversupply from OPEC which is why the Oil price is so low, its not about demand Iran is just going to add to this oversupply and the oil will stay low if not get lower

Leferd there is something I need to clarify, Trump has based many of his foreign policy decisions on anti-Obama sentiment. In other words " Obama has made the USA weak " Its normal in politics and this is especially prevalent in the USA at the moment with the various social changes Obama has made and wants to make and there seems to me to be an almost unprecedented dislike of him from the Republicans . So Trump thinks as far as ISIS is concerned " bombing the oilfields " is something Obama is scared to do or just lacks the political will to do. So what I am really saying is " bombing the oilfields " is not something the USA has historically done because Obama is weak or stupid. Its because that strategy is not going to fundamentally defeat ISIS. As mentioned ground troops will be needed So what, we've lost millions of jobs while building up enemies like China. He said he'd abide by the agreement, of course it depends on Iran's compliance. Even Obola finally saw the wisdom of that strategy, only ISIS controlled oil fields would be bombed. It's a security issue, our government obviously has no idea of who's getting into the country. The wall is absolutely necessary if we're going to have a country left. He won't actually be able to deport most illegals but at least he can start enforcing the law. WOD as mentioned by others the Wall is a bad idea and makes no practical sense I will disagree slightly with the view that the Wall will make " no difference ". A real patrolled and maintained wall with stop an element of Mexicans and others, people just trying to enter the USA to work illegally. But there is no doubt it will only slowdown the Drug Cartels efforts to get drugs into the USA, these cartels are very industrious and well resourced so I can almost guarantee you the Wall won't stop the criminals it intends to stop. The Israelis have had success with there Wall but there threat and security requirement is much more severe that what the USA faces So then you should ask " is the solution that the mightiest country in the world has to prevent illegal immigrants really the building of a wall between Mexico and the USA ". Is that really the threat to the USA that is so severe a Wall is needed to be built, its like the USA has to cut itself from those " troublemakers down South " ? As Hurlshot mentioned Mexico is not an enemy of the USA but building a wall will create an impression that it is and that is not necessary

False. The current strategy is beating back ISIS. Realizing they're losing in Iraq and the Levant, they're advocating more terrorist type attacks. ISIS has lost 40% of their territory in Iraq and 20% in Syria. Ever since coalition air strikes have begun en masse, ISIS has not gained any new territory. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/isis-lost-40-percent-territory-iraq-20-percent-syria-coalition-n490426 However, because of the effectiveness of the airstrikes, ISIS is pivoting their strategy in Syria which may complicate coalition strategy. Atleast according to a hawkish think-tank. http://www.npr.org/2015/01/15/377527015/is-u-s-gaining-or-losing-ground-against-isis http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/11/19/456600398/hitting-isis-where-it-hurts-by-striking-oil-trucks Cutting off ISIS financing is an important element of strategy against the group. The U.S. has targeted ISIS oil infrastructure — wells, pipelines and the like — for more than a year, but these are often quickly repaired by militants. The U.S. bombed ISIS oil facilities last year, but waited until now to make its first attack on the trucks that actually move the crude. It's a war of attrition at this point. 1) Militarily, airstrikes are greatly impacting ISIS' ability to wage war. They're not going to gain any new territory. Meanwhile the Iraqi army is building up and training for a more sustained and overwhelming offensive on the ground. 2) Hitting their ability to raise money. Oilfields have been discussed. Their next big moneymaker is in the dealing of black market antiquities. Various U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies are specifically targeting this market in conjunction with allied intelligence agencies and international police. Lots of behind the scenes work. Wahhabism and general terrorism is going to continue to be an international security issue for the next several decades as the Muslim world is in a period of significant transition, but ISIS as a major threat to U.S. or western security is overstated. You cannot defeat ISIS relying just on airstrikes, you will need ground troops ISIS is still very effective http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3403413/ISIS-kidnapped-400-civilians-Syria-including-women-children-attack-government-held-city.html Its interesting to read your links but I am talking about the reality of the group war and things like destroying the oilfields dont have the impact we think on therere fighting capacity
