Welcome abroad!

Hi there,

I am a big fan of enameled cast iron, and have not had issues cooking fish or eggs in mine. If something sticks, you can add a little fat or liquid (broth, beer, pickle juice, ad infinitum) to help loosen the stubborn item, it doesn’t take a whole lot. I like using a sizeable spatula with a pat of butter atop it and gently work the spatula under whatever is stuck as the butter melts under the food itself.

Things stick in your pan because there’s not enough fat to keep it moist. You’re essentially frying things when you use a pan, so having enough oil is essential to prevent burnt sticking food. With enough fat in the pan, you should be able to glide a fried egg around the pan with ease.

Enamel cast iron pans are excellent for deglazing as well, which’ll make cleaning them even more simple and the byproduct makes for a delicious sauce that’ll punch your meal quality up tenfold. Honestly you should deglaze everytime you cook,

Enamel stains as you use it but it’s pretty easy to clean with Barkeeper’s Friend (either the powder or gel work, though the powder will last you an eternity longer than the gel). Outside that, the exact cleaning method you stated works.

I hope this helps in your quest, happy hunting!

I cannot even make sense of the Obamacare comparison… do people really fall for this word vomit? Sad.

Exactly! Find a clearing and lay it out for a quick nap.

A ghillie suit.

I concur; we should always strive for progress, not perfection.

This 100%. Shakshuka is a beautiful and versatile dish. I love throwing whatever I can think of into it.

I’ve made it spicy with kimchi, adobo sauce, any hot sauce (truff is my favorite atm), etc.

I’ve used whatever cheese is in the fridge that week (Brie, manchego, gouda, etc). it’s even better if you pair cream cheese chunks with whatever cheese you use.

Mix up whatever spices you want with it, or make it as simple as possible.

Shakshuka is great with Naan, toast of any kind (olive bread is my fav), hawaiian rolls, etc. Anything you can use to clean the bowl works well, you’re going to want to!

The rad runner is 70+ lbs, while not necessarily heavy, it is cumbersome to move around when both tires are immovable from the wheel lock (through rear wheel) and folding lock (through front wheel, bike frame, & bike post). Where I live there is always a bike post conveniently located nearby to lock it to.

I have a rad runner, with it I use a wheel lock, long security chain which bolts into said wheel lock, and then a folding lock I use as well with all that. My hope is all that overkill’ll just deter a thief entirely. If anything it’ll buy time for me to catch them in the act and chase them away.

100% this. This fine should be increased hundred fold at the very least. In the real world someone would be held in contempt of court and jailed. Laws for the common man and piddly fines for the wealthy parasites of the world.

Nice to see he acknowledged he didn’t win the 2020 elections again (see his use of the term reelection).

Under load would refer to when you’re on the bike and activating the motor vs lifting the rear wheel of the bike off the ground and activating the motor.

Depending on the results of this test, it would identify that the motor may have sheared gears/components.

While Season 3 feels rickety in comparison to the first 2 seasons, Warrior is such a captivating story with complex characters and jaw-dropping cinematography. This was Bruce Lee’s final vision manifested, and you can tell those involved (with the exception of the shareholders & corporate overlords) have done everything they can to honor The Dragon’s legacy.

Even if you’re not a martial arts film fan, the story of Warrior and it’s characters will draw you in. Please watch and support it!

For a brief moment, I was ecstatic to learn that Wikipedia was wrong and Bill Withers was still alive, then I looked at the article draft date… Great article at the very least, Bill Withers is easily my favorite artist.

I stick to commercially made yeasts and have really enjoyed the consistency and reliability of them, though the wild west of the yeast world does sound enticing. What brews are you using them with? I mainly focus on wines, meads, & makgeolli.

Surfskating looks like tons of fun, I’d love to give it a shot. Would you have any recommendations on gear & research for anyone looking to get into it?
