It's also 85% disgusting because of the sprouts.

All of this. When I was a kid we were not well off. Brussel Sprouts were 2 stone for 2 shillings. uck, yuck and blech. I keep trying to see if my tastes have matured. Nope.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

I will say I didn’t even notice the Brussels Sprouts in my course at travail. I consider that peak Brussels Sprouts and I decided to retire from them.

Broccoli is unforgiving like spinach. It has a tiny cooking window within which it is godlike, but outside that window it is offal.

Cooking those things is like brakes -- you don't do it yourself, you go to a professional.

Huh? Replacing brakes is dirt simple...

Good luck with brakes in Maine, a few winters of salt and calcium chloride, torches , cutting wheels and sawzalls replace wrenches. 2013 gmc, all 4 calipers had to be replaced, not one would move..Broke snap on Allen socket on bolts. Brakes used to be simple.

We have salt in MN too. Tons of it. It sucks.

It's the pretreatment more than the salt. Once they started using calcium things changed.

Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

Calcium isn’t necessarily pretreatment only. It’s only used when temps are too cold for rock salt. Even in MN they mostly use rock salt or sodium solution. They tend to blend in the more expensive stuff rather than use it solo.

Pretreatment can be a lot of things. Calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, an acetate, or even other liquid chemicals.

I got bored once day and read the mndot road treatment manual.

Yeah, they are mixing it up around here also. Regular steel brake lines that have been used since I was kid might not last more than one winter here. So what ever they are using, kills steel in a hurry. I'm going to pull all 8 caliper bolts this summer, clean and replace the grease on bolts and in caliper slide area. I had to use a 20 ton press to get a caliper bolt out of a slide once I had cut it off the vehicle. I heated the caliper cherry red and the bolt still wouldn't move without sticking it in a press. Probably some dissimilar metals at work here also
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

THis is the cooking thread, right? I was soo confused when I was reading thru earlier COuldn't think what thread I was on. Now I know I wasn't confused. We are on a tangent.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

We made a brinner quiche for Pi Day; 6 egg with bacon (had to use the leftover uncooked :)), sweet peppers, onion, cayenne pepper, and something else I'm forgetting. Tasty stuff.

Now I will not have gone my entire life without seeing the word "brinner."

Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

Brinner is a dumb word. It’s not like brunch where it’s a different meal altogether.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

Made my grandma's bean soup tonight. 5 ingredients, and probably the best soup I've ever had. Started boiling the ham bone at 2:30 this afternoon.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Maybe We Can Beat Bobby Flay

making my world beating chili tonight for a chili feed. Decided to try Hy-Vee’s chorizo. I honestly don’t know if it’s better than Cub’s. I like the way Cub’s cooks better and the flavor is somewhat close.

Was hoping Hy-Vee had a chili grind of some chuck. That would have been a nice find.

Had a deep craving for some good German food. I’m trying my hand at Wiener schnitzel with potatoes and a Kaiserschmarrn with apple compote.
