  - Ruiner!! Now no there's no reason for me to see it. - pmb Nov 18, 14:48 3
    - Uh-uh! You're the Ruiner! I'm gonna have nightmares about your leg. -- nm - David Nov 18, 14:52 2
      - oh yah, thanks a lot for asking him for details, man. my ankle twinged extra in empathy reading about his leg. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 15:04

- It needs time to finish cooking, for the heat from the very hot outside to work its way into the inside, and for the juices to settle. - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:38 5
  - Oh, and another little trick, try scoring the outside of the steak lightly with a fork. - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:46 4
    - Poke holes or scrape the top? -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 14:52 1
      - Scrape the top. You want little cross-hatched channels here and there across the surface of the meat. - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:55
    - have to give this a try -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 18, 14:49 1
      - Don't do what I did the first time ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:54

- The juices redistribute more evenly. -- nm - Emoticripple Nov 18, 14:36
- the meat is not done cooking and needs time to let its molecules stop moving around before it's cut into. - gravy Nov 18, 14:36
- it helps the juices to be distributed throughout; so they don't come dripping out when you slice, leaving some parts drier. -- nm* - b. Nov 18, 14:36 1

If an egg stands on end in a bowl of water but doesn't float, it's still good, right? -- nm - znufrii needs a job Nov 18, 14:29 9
- that's the wives tale - I know there can be bad ones even in-date, so I usually -- (edited) - b. Nov 18, 14:43 6
  - far too many stores have been known to just redate the carton and set them back out again...but dancing eggs are given to the dog -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 18, 14:52 3
    - I'm pretty sure that doesn't actually happen -- nm - znufrii needs a job Nov 18, 14:53 2
      - it was done in the past, at least. there was a tv piece about it, and similar things, several years ago. - b. Nov 18, 14:57 1
        
        here's the summary of a gao report from 1999 that mentions it happening, and some of it was ok with the government. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 18, 15:00
  - The floating seems to be true in my experience. We coat our eggs in mineral oil and don't refrigerate them. They last forever. - Krusty Nov 18, 14:48
  - Well, it didn't smell bad, so I think it's ok. :) -- nm - znufrii needs a job Nov 18, 14:47
- I have no idea. but if it is over 4 months old, I'd consider the garbage -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 14:41 1
  - I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to eat eggs you find in the garbage, but thanks! :) -- nm - znufrii needs a job Nov 18, 14:43
Way LIR My top three films of 2015 so far: Mad Max: Fury Road, Room and Steve Jobs -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 14:28 4
- Fury Road, Rogue Nation, Ultron. - Beryllium Nov 18, 14:41
- Inside Out, Mad Max, Kingsman, Ex Machina, Spy -- nm - budice Nov 18, 14:37 2
  - Hmm, I wonder when I saw Kingsman. It must've been 2015. OK, well, I think I enjoyed it more than Ultron, so buh-bye Ultron. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 14:42 1
    - It came out in theaters this February -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 14:44
Why has ty not posted about the airport worker strike which begins tomorrow? -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 14:22
Andie - the caller ID feature on the Fitbit charge can be turned off. -- nm - kelly Nov 18, 14:22 2
- thanks! -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 14:27 1
  - I don't think it works if you're a certain distance away. For example, mine doesn't work when I'm downstairs and my phone is - kelly Nov 18, 14:50
WWE: The reason Cena is off tv...is because he's hosting a reality competition show -- (link) - Remlik Nov 18, 14:22 3
- The Rock films movies, tv shows, hosts other shows and still entertains - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:24 2
  - to be fair...he hasn't had anytime off barring injury for a long time -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 14:37 1
    - True, his roid regiment is working much better than it was about 6-8 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:50
Khloe Kardashian apparently got infected being around Lamar Odom -- (link) - budice Nov 18, 14:21 1
- Hospitals are really ridiculously dangerous. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 14:22
So the story went from he wasn't there, to we are not sure, to now sure the mastermind of the attacks is dead. -- (link) - GregW Nov 18, 14:19 4
- Apparently, he wasn't expected to be found there. It was another team planning to launch another attack on Paris' business district tomorrow they were - sweet baboo Nov 18, 14:32
- It took time to figure out where his body parts blew off to. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:25
- I really don't understand why that prosecutor would share some details - things that helped them idenitfy/locate, etc. (he's not alone with that, but - b. Nov 18, 14:22 1
  - that piece also reminds me - Andie had part of it on a bb.: r.i.p. diesel the police dog. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 14:34
I'm sure there's articles out there on how faithful the Boston adaptation in Fallout 4 is, I did do a quest that involved the Freedom Trail. - Tim Nov 18, 14:18
Wow. Also 30 years ago today, Jesus and Mary Chain released Psychocandy. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 14:07
Senator (in absentia) Rubio skipped a closed-door briefing on the Paris attacks for a campaign fundraiser -- (link) - sweet baboo Nov 18, 14:05 3
- A lot of Senators skip those briefings. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:13
- not that there aren't other occurrences along those lines, but the link there says he did attend an intelligence committee briefing yesterday. -- nm - b. Nov 18, 14:07 1
  - also, that linked story shows the invite for the event - it's not small. all of the things to criticize, this stuff is - b. Nov 18, 14:19

    - Love means never having to say you're sorry, except for those pills you're gonna have to take the rest of your life -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 18, 14:18
Some porn star is suing Josh Duggar for roughing her up before, during, and after sex. - David Nov 18, 13:57 13
- Have we set an over-under on how many women sue Charlie Sheen? - Will Hunting Nov 18, 13:58 11
  - He said he went public because he was basically being blackmailed by everyone, so the lawsuits are probably easier to deal with. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 13:59
  - Porn *companies* might sue him. If anyone tests positive, the entire industry has to shut down while everyone gets tested. - David Nov 18, 13:59 9
    - Your IM - remember what a mess Martin was while Apocalypse Now was filming -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 14:12
    - Sheen insists he told all of his partners. Not saying he did or didn't, but since he was being repeatedly blackmailed by people he told, he may be - pmb Nov 18, 14:01 5
      - I'd be interested in knowing when his relationship with the adult starlet ended vs his diagnosis becuase - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:03 4
        
        There was a story on this. He was already positive, and he did tell her as well as the other woman. - David Nov 18, 14:08 3
        
        Maybe it's a different chick, the one yesterday seemed gob-smacked by the news. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:08 2
        
        Bree Olsen. She went and got tested on Monday (or whenever she heard). -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 14:58 1
        
        Yep, that's the name. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 15:03
    - great IM -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 18, 14:00

- smh -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 13:58
I finally figured where the makeshift doctor from Walking Dead is from. I knew she looked familiar. - groiny Nov 18, 13:56 12
- She that real big fat girl? -- nm - Jamie Gumb Nov 18, 14:51
- She also won an Emmy for her work in 'Nurse Jackie'. -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 14:07 8
  - I never watched that show, I just knew I saw her before on something but it was driving me nuts where. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 14:11 7
    - I never watched it either. I do remember her acceptance was noteworthy that year as she seemd surprised, just went up and said 'Thank you.' and left. -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 14:14
    - It won an Emmy per viewer. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:11 5
      - I watched it. It was a pretty good show. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 14:20 3
        
        SO YOU WERE THE ONE! -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 14:21 2
        
        MY WIFE WATCHED TOO. So that's at least 2. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 14:21 1
        
        Still need like 4 more viewers to prove me wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:22
      - It helps that I don't really care for Edie Falco, so I would never really willingly watch her show. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 14:13
- You now what would be a fun series? Each episode showing different shows when the zombie outbreak took place. - Spawn Nov 18, 14:06
- Yup -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 14:02
Jury trial: done. Waiting on jury verdict: commenced. - ML Nov 18, 13:54 6
- I've always wondered this. What percentage of your trials make it to a jury vote? Is it even 5%? -- nm - David Nov 18, 13:58 2
  - Answering both you and budice, in criminal cases probably less than 5%. Maybe 2-3% overall. - ML Nov 18, 14:01 1
    - And that makes you ..... ML Specter. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 14:06
- How often do you actually make it to trial? Short-trials usually no? -- nm - budice Nov 18, 13:56 2
  - most of his clients kill themselves before ever making it to trial. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:57 1
    - How very Mike Ross of you. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 14:00
I could eat the bread and possibly the cheese, crackers and chips, depending on the flavors. - David Nov 18, 13:54 17
- [deleted] 16
  - I wouldn't be subtle about it. I'd cook a steak while they watch. -- nm - David Nov 18, 13:57 15
    - I have a similar but even better idea. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 18, 14:04 12

        Do you have an iron skillet? - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:16 8
        
        I pan-fry, then roast. It's really the only way to cook steak. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 14:18 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        For a typical steak (t-bone or rib eye) I use this method ... -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 14:37
        
        Season the meat, rub with olive oil. Heat oil in pan, add butter, pan fry meat over medium heat until browned (3-4 mins) - Roger More Nov 18, 14:28 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        it depends on the kind of steak you're cooking - if you google steakhouse method plus ribeye or filet mignon, for example, you should find recipes. - b. Nov 18, 14:28 1
        
        i like this one. -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 14:39
        
        well, if he does, he could hit his guests in the head with the skillet - groiny Nov 18, 14:18
      - Amy makes those every couple weeks. - Spawn Nov 18, 14:09

- So we need to eliminate Bill Cosby? -- nm - eag Nov 18, 13:53
- you need decadence. also get a chocolate cake or pie -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 13:52 1
  - [deleted]
- Oh no, your Hunger Games party doesn't have enough food! - Roger More Nov 18, 13:48 3
  - that's what I thought they were going for. That and a contest to see who can eat the least meat. -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 13:53

LIR: Diva, you must have been like my MIL. I don't know how they manage it, but it is *mortifying* the gift-giving that occurs. Too much, too many. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 18, 13:46 10
- That's my wife's family. The gift giving is big. My family is just little stuff. Her family is an ordeal. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 13:55
- that's the problem in my family - it goes way way overboard. -- nm* - Andie Nov 18, 13:47 8
  - we had a nutso materalistic fest one year, the only year that all (at the time) of the second gen little kids were together. - b. Nov 18, 14:02
  - at first I was The Ruiner because I was always broke. Later on I was The Ruiner because I spoiled the kids. - gravy Nov 18, 13:52 4
    - Better not spoil that baby -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 18, 13:54 1
      - We're already well on our way down the road to Spoilsville with that one. - gravy Nov 18, 13:56
    - Well ruined, Ruiner. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 18, 13:53
    - *likes* -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 13:53
  - In pur family, the quanity/price varies. It is just about finding something you think they will like. - Spawn Nov 18, 13:50 1
    - i have a small family too... - Andie Nov 18, 13:51
what types of cheese must Dawson get for the platter, poll?...shropshire, it's a strong british blue cheese -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 18, 13:44 4
- if he needs more cheese he should consider comte, tallegio and a real English cheddar. -- nm - gravy Nov 18, 13:46 1
  - Compte and tallegio would be good. A nice, sharp blue cheese also. Maybe a softer cheese like a brie or chevre. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 13:56
- Sharp cheddar -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 13:45 1
  - Always this. -- nm - sycor Nov 18, 13:55
