The Stoners Echo Chamber

That's why baking doesn't interest me. I've always seen cooking as science meeting art. But baking is just pure science

 

I'll tell you what else has to be exact - that is bill paying and the numbers you give them for your debit card. I would say debit or credit...but I only have a debit card. The son doesn't understand why I don't get a credit card and use it like him, which he somehow makes money off of as long as he pays them off. I say thats for the birdies and I'll just keep doing what I'm doing.

I just paid the Duke Energy Bill which disappeared at some point in the month...or the dang mail carrier put it in the wrong box, since she puts other people's mail in our's. I just remembered it and even though strangely enough I could not find ONE SINGLE old Duke Energy bill (which I cannot comprehend) I found my old checks with the account number on them. So from there on it was all hunky dorey...only WTF are all of these Duke Energy Bills. I mean I've seen literally every single other bill that is ever paid from this house but NO NO NO Duke Energy bill.

Maybe Mama stuck them down the toilet.


Tomorrow I start on cleaning up this raw sewage. I have a pair of rain boots that will never be used for another thing. I also purchased some pairs of long rubber gloves. I have a spade shovel (with the straight edge) and a bucket. That is as far as I can think. I believe I'll tie my hair up and up a cap on it and if I can find my official/medical nose/mouth masks I'll wear that too.

I'd rather go through a root canal than this.

 

whenever i'm up north I grab a bunch of packs of matches from buddys stash....he has a big box full…..I feel nostalgic using them

 

I had one for a short while and could quickly see where it was going... I have a bit of an impulse control thing, so the first time it came down to calculating in my brain the interest I told myself "no" and cut the thing in half with scissors. Lol. I would have gone into debt probably every month on that thing.

 

Just had a D&M with the race boss, he's pretty pissed off lol.
So apparently our driver got loose on the exit of the bus stop and speared into the wall.
I did that a few times in all my testing. You're basically on the throttle when you hit the ripple strip and if you hit it wrong you will bounce the rear end in the air and since you're turning right at the time when you land you're steering left and it lands and grips up and that's that.
He told me he was nice at the time but pretty fucked off he says.

 

I'm thinking about rebuilding my computer so I can max out the graphics on iRacing.
I already have the graphics card so that's like 1/3 of the cost.
I will have talk to my pool friend, he runs his own store for PCs.

 

I kind of like the labor intensity of it though . If it tells me to sift for 10 minutes I'm going to get really into sifting for 10 minutes : p

Kneading is fun.
I first got into baking because I was going through a difficult spot in life, I couldnt sleep so since I was up at bakers hours anyways I found punching dough at 5 am to be really therapeutic lol

 

I agree.....baking takes patience and skill........all recipes are science equations...the notion that baking is science and cooking is art is not accurate......there is room for improvisation or there isn't.....in either......ive seen some cakes that are so beautiful you don't want to cut them....that is art too …….a wellington or a pie....I do both

 

Baking to me is like something I do when I'm bored and want to do something. Not that there's anything wrong with it or anything. It's like a 20min Do Something card. Yeah alright it'll kill 20mins for me.

But you can bake in different ways, say most of my pastry finger foods are baked not fried mostly for health reasons and I don't cleaning up oil.

I guess baking looks more aesthetically pleasing than tossing stuff on a plate from cooking unless you wanna go all Jamie Oliver in which I insist is a load of shit really, a massive plate and not even a warm up for mains I mean come on Jamie Oliver I down a whole garlic bread before I eat my pizza hut you stooge.

But unless you making all your sauces and meat and veges from scratch you ain't no scientist, yous just a person who bought a steak and some veges, cooked a potato and threw packet sauce over it all.

 

I also use a kitchen aid for baking but that thing can do anything. Can knead dough to mince steaks into mice. I watched my wife struggle to mix in something not long ago I said use the kitchen aid. Done in 8 seconds.

 

Anyway speaking of baking! Here's to big lesagnas I baked for work lunches.

 

id like a meaty lesbian

thanks spell check for making this post possible.

 

fuck now I have a hankerin for lasagna …..looks so good

 

I don't like Jamie Oliver he just bothered me when he got fat and then went on a diet and started doing all this weight loss food promo it just annoyed me. Like you got fat dude deal with it.

And then he starts his healthy eating campaigns, signs a millions of dollars media deal with Woolworths, makes an advert saying kids get a free apple at Woolworths.

Fuck off Jamie Oliver, yeeeah right, I'll bet that has all the kids lined up... Hey dad, can you take me to Woolworths? I can't wait to get my free apple.

Yeah right Jamie Oliver, good one mate.

If Woolworths had any idea they'd be giving away free Snickers bars AMIRITE!

 

I havnt seen a woolworths in 30 years here....do you actually have one?closer to 40

 

today is1/20/2020

 

We do be it's called Deutsche Woolworth Ghb and it's more of a department store than a grocery, but Australia has Woolworth as its top 2 I'd say, along with Coles as grocery stores. I used to pack produce away at Woolies.

And no kid ever in the history of my long term 3 month employment asked their parents "can I have an apple" unless it was a toffee apple.

 

13hr ago I asked whats up.. 6mins ago they found out.. smh.
