I always coat steaks with kosher salt plus a few other
spices/herbs then press in on each side.
It's not a "snazzy" thing to do. It does
regulate the salt by seeing it.
 
Nothing fancy. Just a different version for different uses.

Whether you're a devout religious person (any religion)
or a devout athiest, there are no facts. It's all speculation.
 
No matter what you believe, just hope you guessed right.

I agree. And for anyone that likes "buffalo wings,"
try "buffalo thighs" sometime. You won't be disappointed.

Wanna bet?
 
I always save chicken wings (all 3 sections) for
stock. Even the skin on the tip contains flavor.
No need to waste the tips.
 
Never heard from you about making stock. You buy
it in cans or boxes. You don't fool me. :)

Well, I used to drink wine coolers using 1/2 dry white wine
with 1/2 diet coke. Also sounds bad but it was quite good.

Don't know if he still has the job but I do seem to

As a life long high-end painter,
that picture really stuns me.
WTF are you doing? Highly disturbing pic.
 
And look at all the paint on the floor in the corner,
old paint and some of your new blue paint too.
 
You need to hire "Old World Very Expensive" painters too.
 
No need to have taped those window areas. If you can't paint
neatly next to the glass, you shouldn't be doing the painting.

Most Americans would probably have added some pork fat.

Bruce is a Don Rickles wannabe. Must have been his hero in
younger years.

and author, known especially for his insult comedy."

I don't know any Don Rickles. I bet he's Jewish, from New York and old
school funny.

We don't know for sure. It's a little extra complicated, because we
recently decided to apply for my wife's permanent Australian visa.
 
She may have to stay within Australia for an unknown time until her
temporary partner visa has been issued, that way she can come and go
at any time (aside from covid and flight restrictions). For now, there
are too many hoops for me to jump through to go to Thailand
(quarantine etc) so I'll be staying in Aus at least until mid October,
I think. Wife will go back as soon as her visa is issued and there are
flights available at sane prices.

That is a shame:(( How long will she be away from you?? :((((
 
Good luck with all the visas! Will you son have a visa too? How does
that work?

That's because neither pasties nor calzoni come from Brazil.
 
Calzone (word and recipe) is Italian.

I think food should be enjoyed how you want to, so if you like it, keep
eating it.
But that being said, I prefer my calzones to be like a heavy loaded pizza
folded in half. You have more structure to cram more tasty food in there.
I think having sauce helps prevent dryness and adds more flavor. But beware,
a soggy calzone is a sad calzone to me.
 
Have you ever tried a pastel? Its a Brazilian food like a calzone, in that
it is dough stuffed with meats and cheese, in any combination you like.
Although it is fried, not baked. Not very healthy but it sure is tasty!

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your
spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I
prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used
to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made
with short crust?"
 
Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.

I like the look of that! Not something I have seen before though.
Recipe please?

Why did you snip a relevant part of what she wrote?

Rather than writing as "mean Jill," you could have
offered a recipe idea. Or you could have just not
responded at all.
