I very rarely try donuts. They are actually kind of difficult to do, the few tries I've made have been okay at best, kind of greasy though and not terribly fluffy. Coffee cake is another story, I'm pretty decent at that. Cooking isn't hard, most of it is just basic techniques and a lot of attention to detail. You don't need a ton of gadgets either, just a good cutting board, a good quality chef's knife in the eight inch range (yes size matters), a good quality paring knife, a honing steel and patience. Baking is the thing where you have to be super accurate, it is more science than art. Recipes are really more akin to formulas, whereas savory recipes can be more easily modified or adapted to reflect your own taste.

I think it tends to be healthier too, I mean, if you make your own things for the most part you can avoid chemicals that look like they came off the side of a paint can. It is a Zen kind of thing and a healthier kind of thing, but no matter how much I want it to be different, if I make a scratch donut, it's still a donut....

Damnit, now I've got to win....

Trubiski? He's too good, Elway's ego won't allow for it. You're gonna get Darnold when the Jets trade him away for two third round picks and a pack of Tropical Fruit skittles.

I've got two work related parties to attend. One I can get by with just a suit and tie, the other I have to get my tux out. Day in the life I suppose. I wonder if I could get a red velvet dinner jacket in time for the less formal one.

I usually just use apricot jam for strudel or maybe part of a glaze for a ham. I make my own lemon curd, actually I tend to make most of my own food from scratch, it helps me keep to my diet. Well I cheat less....

I prefer hadzig myself, but I'm biased. Our family calls it Hadzig, but it is often called choereg online. Might be a regional thing....

Mmmmmmm. I only eat marm with toast, or with brussel sprouts. Sometimes I cheat and use it for citrus chicken, but most of the time it is a toast kind of thing, and even then only if I've been good about carbs. Lemon curd is strictly a spring/summer dessert kind of thing for me, with whipped cream and strawberries or poached apples.

49ers v Saints was awesome. Texans, seriously guys? Watch Bears trade him away for two second round picks in the 2022 draft....

Hmmm, so old [asmb] accounts are still active? If I remembered my old PW I'd be tempted to troll or something..... edit: I think I'm getting a new laptop for Xmas....

I prefer pumpernickel, but wheat bread is good, particularly toasted with orange marmalade.

Threads take the strangest turns it seems.... And no, no socks in bed. Also, slight Chicago accent that grows if I get grumpy or am watching sports. Kind of a Hulk thing....

Gotta get paid, and if the labels say "do this" then they do it. That's why I don't listen to most modern artists.

It's like the kids have come home for Christmas.

I have to admit, the numbers were surprisingly good. FW remains terrible imo, but not everyone will like everything....

1. Yes. That is what DeMarco tweeted.... 2.

Then why the random tweet about Toonami's audience skewing towards females more than males when [as] is supposed to be targeting males?

They are going to replace Tom with Wahmen Tom....

Males are the primary target demo for [as]/Toonami. [as] is about 55/45 Male Toonami is flipped, 45/55 Male Hence my comment and general admonition against bragging that you are not appealing to your target demo.

I remember Justin. I can remember having a Bombay Sapphire and Lime and posting in IB about the Bible as a moral guide with him. It was an interesting conversation. I miss those sorts of threads, civil discourse with other people and no agendas, just the exchange of ideas. Wistful memories I suppose. Think I'll go fix myself a Bombay Sapphire, and one for Justin....

So, DeMarco is admitting that Toonami is not reaching [as]'s intended target audience? That's a good way to get your budget cut, your hours cut or your block cancelled outright.

Wow, when will they learn that marathons don't work when the show being marathoned is terrible. They couldn't even get a retention #30-40, it was as if Toonami was two shows, both did well and then [as] put on a bunch of entirely forgettable original programs to kill time.
